• Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E - two how to adjust the fan speed

  While using the laptop the fan comes in for a few seconds and then stops again, which causes the temperature
  increase... what makes the fan?
  Throttle upward rather than stay in a slow to medium status.

  I'm running Vista Business, but I did ' t find the parameters in this regard.

  In the ACPI BIOS is not accessible, but as already posted my problem looks a bit like this:

  Re: ACPI fan on Satellite L30
  Posted the: 13-Sep-2007 22:08 reply

  The fan goes in cycles like this:
  ------------------
  Less than 50, fan
  When > 55, fan to full
  When< 55,="" fan="" on="">
  When< 50,="" fan="" off="">
  and it continues

  ------------------

  It would be much better than when he went to more than 50 years she just spend on bass, then
  It would never reach 55 and never go up.
  And the laptop would be 100 x more silent.

  Another thing: the Germany from Toshiba support page won't load at all or is the global page
  very slow, using different locations and conections. That I can not retrieve all the information to help me.
  And I do not think the University backbone or my DSL 6 Mbps at home is the problem

  Hello

  The fans begin to turn only if a certain temperature point has been reached.
  These fan table information is stored in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  Some computers laptops satellite supports an additional option in the Toshiba HWSetup. It allows to change the CPU dynamically switchable or always low frequency mode.
  This would set the temperature to a lower level and the fans would lead occasionally.

  In any case, to my knowledge, this option is not available in the Toshiba HWSetup and not in the BIOS so I guess that it s not possible to control fan behavior.

  By the way; If you wish, you can test a tool like aSpeedFanfreeware.
  This program can control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures of the system.
  Maybe it will work on your Satellite Pro U300

  Good bye

• Battery Tecra M11-130 with not power and the fan runs constantly

  We are having a problem with the battery on one of our laptops. When left for an hour or two the laptop turns off because the battery is dead. We have mounted a battery new but still only get about 1.5 hours.
  In addition, the fan runs continuously. I looked at the PC Healthcheck software which shows as follows:
  * Power *.
  Other costs 14%
  40% of energy consumption system
  Good battery
  * Temperature and fan *.
  CPU temperature 67%
  System internal temperature 56%
  88% fan speed

  I would like suggestions.

  > We have mounted a battery new but still only get about 1.5 hours.

  1.5 hours is a common value, you should consider that dough working time depends on its portable use.

  Battery needed to dump a lot faster if the CPU would be stressed out a lot in your case, that something could run in the background, lose power CPU performance and the dough.

  In addition, you said that the fan runs constantly this could discharge the battery too.
  Therefore, it would be interesting to know what process emphasizes the central unit.

  Start the Task Manager and check the processes tab. In the CPU column, you can find the process that emphasizes the central unit.

  In addition, to change the settings for the CPU performance and cooling of the activities in the options of Win 7 powers that would help to increase the performance of the battery.

• Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

  Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

  Hi Hannah,

  The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

  This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

  This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

  L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  So my questions are:
  1. He's probably right?
  2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
  3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
  4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

  If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

  > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - HARD drive stops and the computer crashes

  Hello

  It's my first post in this forum, but certainly not my first issue

  I recently had to re - install Windows Vista on my laptop because I had an undetectable virus that attacked Windows and made him useless.
  Before that, I had many, many startup errors and windows crashes, but which were preventable or fixable. After the re - install, I noticed that windows stability was much better until recently.

  I have not changed the settings or anything what so ever on my computer laptop which could affect the performance somehow, but I have a new problem.

  If I have my computer running, performing tasks of base for a few hours I notice that performance and all of a sudden my computer completely stops responding.
  The disk shows no signs of life after this point, and his only solution is a "disruptive Shutdown.
  This appears in the reliability monitor and performance that all this, there is no input error, and nothing is done after.

  I also noticed if either windows defender or other my antivirus runs a system scan that my performance is reduced to the point where I can't run a simple task like opening an Explorer window. This also translates to total non-response. This never happened before a week ago and now it happens every time.

  These two started within the past few days and there is no clear reasoning behind it. My inactivity of the processor is always the same, no new processors added and no settings changed.

  This could be a problem with Windows, my HARD drive, my CPU or something worse?

  Is there a reason why is happening and is there a solution either of these problems?

  First of all, you reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?

  It's strange and not easy to say what's wrong, but in your case I would test the RAM and HARD drive.

  There are special tools to test the following:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  http://Memtest86.com/

  On the two Web site, you can download a CD image. Burn it to a CD, start with him and then you can test parts.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A505-S6973 is overheating and the fan runs often

  I hate doing this, but it seems to me have encountered another problem that I was responsible for research and reading hoping to correct me. I currently own a Satellite series laptop PC with an Intel Cor 2 Duo T6500 processor 2.1Ghz.

  I followed my system for performance issues andi who have noticed for some time (not sure when) has significantly increased the temperature on my system. I'm seeing from my PC Health Monitor my processors running at 59% temperature and fan speed is at 78% and yet when I place my hand near the cooling fins on the side of my laptop, I can barely feel any breeze, but a colleague of mine has a vostro and fan feels like it will run on amendments.

  If there is nothing that can be done, I would be very happy, I'm afraid of losing my system because of something simple that cause overheating.

  NB. I noticed that at the same time different users posted threads indicating that after updating he BIOS they have known overheating problems. If this is the cause of anywhere near it please help.

  Hello

  Just a question;
  The unit automatically shut?

  If this is not the case then you cannot talk about overheating only because the temperature has risen to a higher level.
  The temperature of the laptop up and down and it depends on the use of the laptop.
  The cooling fans would go faster too if the temperature would be going upward.

  It's not unusual and it s a common behavior of mobile.

  As I said; the laptop would be down automatically stops if the temperature would be too high! If this isn't the case, then you should not be worried about the temperature.

• MacBook Pro fan running at full

  Hello world. Just as the title says, my MBP fan turns on and stays on full often (and I know that he doesn't need to be on, because the area near the vent under the screen is only slightly warm). For now, everything I do is running a system scan with Avira Antivirus and then typing this discussion and the fan runs at full breath. It started doing this after I set the parental controls; the fan has ever had put forward. I also open the activity monitor and RAM was approximately 4 GB (out of 8), but AM told that my CPU was running almost 50%! I'm starting to wonder if there is a bug with the parental control on my particular MBP model. Anyone know who ever be the cause? I welcome any advice on this.

  First get rid of the MBP to the Avira AV, maybe it's not the cause of the problem, but you do not need and can create unwelcome questions for you.

• Can not enter into the BIOS of Toshiba Satellite Pro S500-15W

  I am trying to enter a Toshiba satellite pro S500-15W bios. I tried the key F2 and FN + F2 keys don't set fixed no joy. Then downloaded the latest version (2013) the update of the bios for this series and windows 7, 32 bit. When I try to run the update I get the message "this computer is not supported". If anyone can help.

  Try to hold down the F12 key during the restart of the unit. You will see several options on the page that appears. You'll want to install at the bottom. I have the case of the warning you will are you aure you have win 7?

  Most of the time you get this error, or you have a different version, in this case 64 bit? or another OS 8.1 or 10? Take a look at your computer, control panel settings of IE - settings then you can ook at what OS you have and the 32-bit version of or64.

• Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

  Hello

  on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

  Thank you
  Karl

  Hi karlS_1,

  Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

  You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan runs at full speed

  I've had my laptop for a few years, and for about a week now when I first turn on the fan runs at full speed. I restart the computer immediately and fun runs normally. I suspect overheating or dust problems since it works at full speed as soon as it is powered but not after a reboot. I left at full speed for a long time to see what is happening - I is not too annoying. I usually restart immediately.

  These laptops have the sensors of dew or something? I guess the House is cooler just now.
  Advice anyone?

  Ritchie.

  Hello

  I doubt the s sensor issue or something like that
  Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that contains all the details about the features of the cooling module is stored in the BIOS and I recommend the default BIOS settings first

  So, start the laptop, press F2 and access the BIOS.
  Press F9 to get the BIOS default settings, and then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Of course, the cooling modules must be verified if the vents are not blocked
  The dust is more a cause of such symptoms
  Remove dust using a jet of compressed air can be useful in your situation

Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan acti... See also:

• Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 i5 or i7 i3 CPU upgrade

  Hi everyone, I'm having 7 Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 Notebooks here and want to update these shit Core i3 330M and 350M, 370 M and 380M CPU for Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. I'm not quite sure what CPU Socket, I have to buy and which generations of CPUS are supported by the S500. I processors up to 380 M Corei3 assembled in these things now and think its a HM55 Express chipset inside which must allow to i5 and i7 processors. I already had problems in upgrading toshiba tecra A9 modells and after upgrading CPU they were running very well and the FAN was blowing ultra noisy at speed of 100% all the time without ever turning off again even if the laptop could be frozen at 0 ° C and it has never been warm. Level 3^rd Toshiba support then told me that he would need a firmware update they do provide customers and was told to send books to repair @ € 50 each, just to update this microcode. So I would ask if anyone has a list of processors supported for the S500 modells?
  Numbers of exact model I have:
  Satellite Pro S500-106 (PSSE0E-19M06SLD)
  Satellite Pro S500-147 (PSSE0E-0HH06SLD)
  Satellite Pro S500-132 (PSSE0E-09G05ELD)

  Hope someone can help, I don't want to end up buying an i7 or i5 cpu, spending 50 dollars, investing 4 hours work and end up with a laptop unusable, I immediately dismantle again just for the work that I had invested... Forward your answers J

  Best thing to do is to choose a CPU provided with one of the other S500 PSSE0E patterns. This way you can be sure the BIOS supports.
  Some portable computers require a cooling system calibration after that another CPU is installed. An ASP can do the calibration.
