Satellite U400 - big noise from cooling modules

Hello

bought a few months ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect, and I bought it just because I don't like the sounds.
When I surf the net I love that he's quite, but these last 5 days he began to ring.

Toshiba U400 works and it should be for many 'Air' on the side and its just all the time, even if I open IE or MSN or anything like that either, and before she just made some time, but now he often does.

Please help me because it's very embarrassing and it sounds too, and I don't like it, why this departure to East happened now and not before? and what I can do about it?

thnx.

Hello

What you can do?
Well, first you must make sure your modules cooling holes are free of dust.
I recommend to use the jet of compressed air to remove dust of grids and cooling fans.
In most cases the dust prevents the flow of air that causes a higher temperature and therefore the propellers would turn faster.

Secondly, you can change the settings to more battery as energy saver.
If you are using Win XP, then you should check the Toshiba Power Saver.
Here, you can assign the CPU, the speed of treatment and performance at a lower level of cooling

  • Satellite Pro L650-168: wind cooling module is not Cup-is this normal?

    Hi all

    I just bought a new Toshiba laptop (L650-168), and one thing immediately caught my attention: the 'event' for the fan on the back (in the upper left corner), which is 'fired' but not cutting (see an image in the http://uppix.net/4/a/a/77f63d7eb24987cf73553c55f3b59.jpg)

    It isn't my first Toshiba laptop, since I've already bought a P200 and an A300. Both have this event cut correctly.
    I can understand Toshiba use same back for laptops needing an air vent and those who do not and that in the air this last case mouths are not cut, but I want to be sure that this is the reason, because the temperatures are warm enough in my opinion:
    -idle: 50-55 ° C 60 ° C for GPU and CPU
    -load: 80-85 ° C for the CPU and 70-75 ° C for GPU (not at the same time)

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I think it's ok.
    The photo shows the other cooling holes placed near memory Bay, above the slot in the upper left corner and from memory.

    I think that it of not a lack of design. I think that this air intake is not necessary in this model of laptop.

  • Satellite U400-150 - always needed, even to start supervisor password

    Satellite U400-150 /PSU45E, the cooler BIOS v4.0, just been flashed (23/07/2009).

    Well, I have a problem with the password at startup. I need to password, which should be _only_ required to enter the "BIOS". When I set the supervisor password (user is clear) I guess I should be asked for password enter or manage the CONFIGURATION of the BIOS, but it must always give me the password. To start, to start from other sources (F12) and to enter the SETUP.

    In the AWARD bios, there is an option called "password at startup: enabled". But I find not so in Phoenix. In the topic "Security" in "CONFIGURATION of the BIOS", there is an option to set a password for the 'supervisor, user, or HARD drive. I already tried all combinations, none for me.

    What I want to achieve is:

    I would like to be invited to give a password only when I enter the CONFIGURATION or when I try to boot from another deaf (hold F12). When I start the system only during the regular ignition I need not give the password.

    Could you please help me?

    > One last thing, I can still boot from another source, such as USB, DVD key, another without entering the password... what kind of security is that?

    Check this Toshiba document on:
    * What is a BIOS supervisor password? *
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ9202JF0000R01.htm

    It is said clearly:
    + A password of the BIOS supervisor, used in combination with the password of the BIOS, is the second security option you have for your laptop. The BIOS supervisor password protects the BIOS settings. In most cases, the BIOS supervisor password is used by the COMPUTER system administrator in a network environment to restrict the access to certain functions of the laptop, but individual users can benefit from this additional security. For example, a supervisor of the BIOS password is adjustable to restrict access to the BIOS, to restrict the user BIOS and disk HARD or password to restrict the access to power management features. In most cases, these types of restrictions are needed in the middle to large companies. Users without supervisor BIOS password cannot change these settings.

  • Satellite U400 - 15G - overheating-how to change the cooling module?

    My Satellite U400 15 G is overheating (CPU up to 70 ° c). NEITER in Google nor in the manual, I can find a statement, how to open and change the cooling module. (I'm only trying to change mine, because garranty is already gone)

    Does anyone know how to open the laptop/notebook and how to change the cooling module?

    Before you continue just a matter of discussion:
    Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
    I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

    By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

    By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

  • Satellite L505-10N - strong cooling modules while gaming

    Hello

    5 days ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite mainly to play world of Warcraft and do some normal tasks.
    The seller told me that this computer has been authorized to install the game on and it would be more correct to support.

    As he says, playing on my new Satellite is a real pleasure, the game didn't lag at all and the graphics are beautiful... but the big problem is the breakdown that works loudly... all the time... and the computer heats very quickly...

    Then I brought my computer to the seller who says that noise is normal and could not do anything about it.

    I'm worried about this, this breakdown works abnormally, I never heard such a big noise on my other laptops, and it makes me think that this computer won't last long...

    Is there a solution for this problem? Maybe I can change the ventilation for an another silenter? For sure, the seller will not help me...

    Thanks a lot for your answers

    Hello

    May I ask how you plan a game?
    The laptop should be just like using a desktop application or like surfing the internet?

    List man than the parts of s to laptop as CPU or GPU run with a yield maximum everything at stake. This means that the heat dissipation is very high.
    This means that the cooling modules must run at max and also temperatures would rise to a higher level.

    Have you noticed how strong desktop PC cooling modules are?
    The noise of the laptop is nothing compared to the desktop PC!

  • Satellite U405d-s2850 - noise coming from the fan high pitch

    I bought my computer laptop 2nd Friday last for the school. I bought it at Costco after comparing with some other laptops.
    I like it so far, it is a tone high from the fan noise. First I thought it was my ear, but it wasn't. This high pitch noise is so darn high, it makes me crazy.

    This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    Or am I just darn sensitive?
    My other laptop Toshiba is very good. It's just this new laptop!
    Help!

    Should I return this laptop and get a new one or is it normal?

    Hello

    Are you sure that this noise is coming from the cooling module?
    Usually, it is really hard to say what causes these sounds of high pitch without disassembling the whole laptop and check the single parts.

    > This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    To be honest, I never noticed the sounds of high pitch on my three different notebooks.
    So I guess there might be something wrong with the single computer laptop part.

    So if you aren't really sure what causes this noise of high tone, then I recommend contacting ASP in your country for and verification of the laptop.

  • Satellite A80-154 - cooling module very hard

    Hello

    Since a few days, my A80-154 laptop cooling unit is very strong from time to time.
    It is a gurgling noise, which, well, doesn't sound like a cooler should sound.

    It occurs mainly when I turn on my computer.
    My computer is about 2 years old.

    Is there someone who has the same problem? Or even someone who can tell me how to solve this problem?

    Best regards

    Matthias Mentschel

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two possible reasons why buzz comes from the cooling module.

    (1) the cooling module is clogged and dust and debris to prevent courteous race fans
    (2) the malfunctioning of the cooling module and must be replaced

    Well, in both cases, the laptop must be disassembled to check what's exactly wrong.
    I see that you are a beginner and I wouldn't recommend open Notepad by yourself.

    Ask a technician for laptop to help him avoid further damage of laptop!

    Good luck

  • No need for common modules for Satellite U400 with Win XP

    Hi everibody!

    Help me

    c.p. my ram is 2 MB

    Hello Cezar

    You should clarify directly with your local dealer or the Toshiba service. I have too many Satellite A200 and my laptop is quiet enough and described it is not normal for me.

    Sorry, but to say with certainty if there is something strange or not I should have the laptop in front of me. Second issue with the battery is as strange and it is certainly the second reason to contact ASP.

    Where can I get the serial number? I have to ring Microsoft or Toshiba?

  • Satellite U400-10j - how to boot from a USB flash drive?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.

    I have Ubuntu on my USB flash drive, now I want to boot from it.

    I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

    Second, I noticed that the phone also has an internal memory card reader.
    I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
    The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
    In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

    And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.

  • Satellite U400 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello guys,.

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with a pre-installed version of Vista business & do not like. It came with a recovery disk for Windows XP Pro product. This confused me a bit. Can I downgrade Vista Business with XP Pro?

    My next question is, if I can downgrade to XP Pro I need registry XP with Mircosoft?

    Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

    Greatly forward a response.

    Thank you very much.

    Normand

    Hello

    A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
    But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

    But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

    If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
    AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.
