Satellite U500 and fan CPU issue on Ubuntu 9.04

Hello world

I just got my Satellite U500 and I had a problem with Linux.
After grub starts the operating system, my cpu fan turns off and it never turn on more.
Sometimes when the CPU's heat it just lit for 2 seconds...

I tried to add "acpi = off" on the line of linux. in /boot/grub/menu.lst
The fan does not spin.

Can you guys help me?

same problem here

on ubuntu and archlinux fan turn off when linux starts, it is very dangerous for the unit because the fan never turn on

on archlinux, I can't try acpi_osi = 'Windows 2006' in the grub menu, I don't know if it can help you

This is the only problem with the U500, it is perfect under windows.

  • Satellite U500 and Bluetooth on Linux?

    I was unable to configure the bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11 d with Ubuntu 9.04.

    Documentation, there are two main methods for activate bluetooth which is service provider of Bios (Phoenix or bios Toshiba bios). Load modules omnibook.ko or toshiba_acpi.ko (respectively). However, none of the known solutions work properly :(

    Satellite U500 seems to incorporate a FRIEND (american megatrends...) bios. Is there a third option for bios machine FRIEND get the bluetooth in Linux?

    Have you updated your version of Ubuntu (apt - get update) already?
    As far as I myself remember with the standard version of first 9.04 Bluetooth didn't work, but worked again later on after a few updates.

  • Satellite U500-PSU9BE - fans to run all the time

    I bought a U500 - PSU9BE 10 days ago, comes with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    10 days everything was fine.
    Without changing any settings, today the fan has full throttle, as usual he is sitting on my desk with plenty of ventilation around it...
    After awhile, I opened the tool PC to see health + 90% of the activity of the fan and only 27% of the CPU temperature.
    It off for 2 hours. Is returned and turned on. He took over fan full speed immediately at startup.
    It feels like a thermal conductor who does not switch the fan to the bottom switch.

    Looked at Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel settings - all together on the optimization of the battery.
    The Eco mode is activated.

    What the hell happens on this machine? Al support will be more than welcome!

    Hi mate

    Have you checked the parameters of module cooling in power management Windows 7-> Toshiba power saver.

    Here, you can change the method of CPU cooling for maximum performance CPU, or better battery life with reduced CPU performance. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life will also cause the CPU fan turn on less frequently.

  • Satellite U500 - temperature/fan speed of degradation after overheating

    The hard drive of my laptop suddenly developed a load of bad blocks without reason apparent, so I replaced it. I started a live linux CD to copy the old drive to the new and left running overnight. When I came back to him, he ran VERY hot. It's not well crushed.
    * Since then, the fan worked up a gear more often than before *, in the original Windows installation.
    Use a temperature monitoring program, I can see a temperature which is constantly higher than both the CPU and GPU, and I think this must be the problem. I can only think that it is setting the fan speed based on this incorrect measure. I don't know where this temperature is measured, and unfortunately I do not know what it was before the problem started. The new HDD is cool, so it is impossible that the change that caused the problem.
    Someone knows something I could try to fix this?

    Hi Blah_1,

    You probably have a higher internal temperature because your new HARD 7200 RPM drive instead of 5400 RPM. For hard drives at 7200 RPM are originally more heat during the backup process racing portable to use high CPU if it s normal behavior that he s hotter than normal.

    In any case, the laptop must be also cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air as described here:

  • Satellite A60 and energy saving issues

    Hello

    I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.

    To be more precise:

    I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.

    I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.

    Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.

    Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.

    Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.

    Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

    Hi sunfury,.

    I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.

    You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.

    In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.

    But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
    -OS
    -chipset + display driver
    -audio driver
    -fix for... (all)
    -one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)

    When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
    -Power Sawer
    -Init GST
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
    -Other utilities
    -TOSHIBA Console

    If you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

  • Satellite U500 - high slope noise

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U500 and the system itself seems to work perfectly. A month ago, my laptop started to make a noise, a constant noise from slope high unbearable. The only time where the noise stops is when the laptop is turned off and for a very short period of time when windows starts.

    The noise seems to come from the speakers, but it continues if I put mute the speakers or not *.

    Hello

    Are you sure that the sound comes from train workers?
    Maybe the sound comes from a another part of material have you checked the HARD drive? You can try to disconnect the HARD drive and then start Notepad and go into the BIOS. You can hear the noise too?

    In my opinion, this looks like a hardware problem. Therefore, you should contact a service provider authorized in your country. Technicians can check your laptop.

But when I updated to win7 and install all the drivers of toshiba upgrade dvd, my wifi switch works as follows:

    When I turn on notebook with wifi off button - its turned off all the time and the wifi does not work and fn + F8 (shortcut key for wifi) does not work too. I have to restart the PC with wifi switch in position-the wifi works fine and fn + F8 is able to turn on and turn off the wifi. But that put the material do not react to pass and - diode LED is always on (in case when I start the pc with position control on and in the case where is when off wifi LED is not clear and switching does not work).

    I've updated wifi realtek drivers but still it does not work. IAM verry sorry for my English. I was looking into Toshiba diagnostic tool and there is no modem device, but yes, wifi is perhaps problem here?

    Thank you very much for the reply. Tom

    Hi juanantonio,.
    If the chipset and its capabilities powersaving is no better supported you must live with temperatures a little higher...
    but it's a long way at the end of specification - your system should run stable - check it out!

    for the problem of wlan: go and find a driver/module for your wlan card, I guess it's a intel...
    or change it with a model better supported by the operating system.

  • WLAN and LAN on Satellite U500 connectivity issues

    I have a Satellite U500 laptop, the problem is that I have never connected to the internet, even if the modem works well in other devices such as mobile.
    I'm trying to connect to the internet automatically and manually. It s always saying limited connectivity or local only.
    I ve checked the driver for my wireless and LAN cards and everything works correctly. Then I plugged as the hub of LAN or Ethernet cable, sound correctly connect the laptop to the modem, but I checked the free config or a physician any link is in x.

    I followed the steps but it s not solved my problem.
    I hope someone can give me an advice.

    Somehow it seems to me that you have a problem with your router.
    Restart your router, and then try again.
    I can understand if there is a problem with the WIFI but LAN should work without any problem.
    When you connect the network cable to your laptop is green LED ON?
    Does not yellow LED flashes?

    BTW: do you use the operating system preinstalled (factory State) of origin?

  • Satellite U500 - 11G - noise of the fan speed after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11G.
    I've recently updated the BIOS because my CPU fan did not work under Ubuntu,
    But after the update, my CPU fan speed is faster then normal and make a lot of noise (even if the CPU is cool) when I use Windows 7 is still stay on fast speed making a lot of noise.

    Do we sort of degrading the BIOS or thw way to earn the slow CPU fan speed?

    Concerning

    Update BIOS because of Linux? You know that Linux is not possible on this laptop model?

  • Fan of Satellite U500 - 11 c sometimes does not start running Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I have two Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11 c on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Sometimes, after a new start of Windows, the fans start and just run a few seconds sometimes. When this occurs, the CPU temperature gets very hot (do not know exactly how much). I found a way to return to a behavious normal just unplug the power cable and reconnect it just a second or two after.

    Two laptop computers have the latest Bios and drivers of Toshiba. Somehow, it's the same behavious as under Linux.

    With these experiences, I just thought that Toshiba laptop are not well properly handle ACPI Fans and tempartures. Is it really inevitable?

    I hope that this feedback can help...

    Hi mate

    Cooling modules are controlled by the fan which is stored in the BIOS table.
    Fan table contains details and information when and how fast a fans should run.

    Besides computers laptop Toshiba supports protection against overheating. This protection monitors the temperature, and if the temperature is too high, the laptop turns off automatically.

    If the laptop does not turn off automatically then I suppose that the temperature is not too high

  • Satellite A10 S203: the CPU fan does not work properly?

    I have toshiba satellite a10 s203 and the cpu fan does not work correctly. What can I do about it?

    Hi SACRIFICE them.

    Here are some possible solutions to this problem of fan.

    1. When you have installed a base installation of MS (not the Toshiba Recovery CD) you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver and others utilities from the CD tools & utilities. The energy saver is responsible for the control of the fan.

    2. If you have a recovery based OS, you can update the energy saver of http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com site Web Toshiba under Support & Downloads - Download Driver
