SL300: fans always imprecise market and touchpad...

I just bought a new Thinkpad SL300 ( Intel 8400, 2.2 Ghz, 4 GB ram, Vista Business 32 bit, Centrino 2, Nvidia 128 meg.)

However, I am in love with this laptop, it's annoying that as soon as I turn on my laptop the departure of fans to blow and never stop until I turn off the laptop.
Fans never get faster or more slowly, they are always at the same speed, no matter if it is on AC or battery. No matter if I put it under power to fan its level to a minimum or maximum... It's always the same average speed. The laptop is running but really cool.
I read on the Thinkpad forums that many users of the SL series complaining as fans who never in the cycle. However, Lenovo support just told me that if the fans are on is ok...

I have installed on my laptop Bios 1.12 and later on the site Web is 1.08 will understand. However, every country has 1.08 as later but the Japan that has 1.14 which is supposed to be more recent than mine. He would be allowed to install on the computer laptop mi? My fear is that instructions can appear in Japanese...

I also found programs like TP Fan Control by Troubadix, no idea if it would work in my laptop?

In addition, I am also having problems with the touchpad, it just does not respond well (gal).

Thank you

I just uninstall the drivers for the touchpad, so I have the generic windows works. the touchpad works fine now, however, I lost the functionality of scrolling...

The Trackpoint Cubs too.

The fans are always on...

Thank you

  • Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

    I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

    1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

    2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

    3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

    Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

    Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

    To follow...

    Hey Buddy,

    With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
    -Run update as an administrator only
    -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
    -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
    -Make sure the battery is fully charged

    With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

    All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

    Hello

    What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
    Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-05E01FIT) - fan always to the maximum. Speed

    Hello, in this laptop now I istalled this CPU: Intel Core Duo (Yonah) [email protected] and it's OK.

    This morning, I tried to replace the processor with this: Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7200 (Merom) processor.
    Works from pc but didn't enter the BIOS, the fan always starts at maximum speed, S.O. Windows XP Pro has started, but the fan still max speed!

    Why?

    Hello!

    You also have this problem with your old CPU?

    In my opinion, the problem is the new processor. Maybe your motherboard / CPU doesn't support and so the fan run always on the highest speed.
    If you just replace the CPU by yourself, it could be that you have used enough thermal grease.

    Updates on the laptop I can prefer this Toshiba document:

  • Satellite L755-1GH - noise from the fan always on

    Hello
    I own a laptop L755-1GH which has its fan always on, producing a large amount of noise. Temperature is not the 80 ° c but nor least fan is already blowing less than 70º, for now it is at 58ºC and it is already underway.
    The pc is still in the warranty period, but I can't be without the pc, because that's my work pc.
    Any ideas of how I can solve this problem?

    The Turbo is already disabled, and I use a cooling package... already blown air to clean the dust a few sec.
    If I open it, I'll be out of warranty and I can't send it to the warranty...
    Is there some Toshiba diagnostic tools?

    You can reduce the activity of fan if you change the option in the parameters of the method of cooling.

    Power profile open that you use and go to advanced power settings.
    You will find Toshiba power saver options and method of cooling.

    Change it to optimized battery.

    Please, do it and post comments.

  • Satellite A300D-11 s - keyboard and touchpad freezes

    Hello

    I have a lot of problems with my Satellite A300D-11 s (for the region of the Adriatic).

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate with installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site. Everything works perfectly... but...

    When I first time works laptop, can't initialize graphics driver, keyboard not working and touchpad is froozen. In this situation, I can use external USB mouse and keyboard, Internet (WLAN, LAN), Sound. When I reebot the system, Windows 7 loads and works perfectly and I can work 3-4 hours. After disabling laptop and put on 30 minutes, 1 hour or 6 hours, problem exists always again :(

    Then I reinstalled the system of zero, use, update to the latest drivers and issues is always present. I tried this 3 times, but I have no idea what to do. Sometimes when I close the lid of my laptop and later at the output of the keyboard and the touchpad of stand by are frozen.

    Laptop have guaranteed but last time, replaced service card motherboard and CPU. Laptop may be defective?

    Thnx and sorry for the gramatic mistakes

    Hello

    > graphic driver cannot initialize, keyboard is not working and touchpad is froozen. In this situation, I can use external USB mouse and keyboard, Internet (WLAN, LAN), Sound.
    For me, it sounds like that just internal peripheral input (keyboard and touchpad) don t work more and they need to be replaced.
    What do you think about this?

    You can contact your authorized service provider. They can exchange the two parts for you.
    Check this box!

    Regarding your display driver problem, you must update the driver and install the latest version of the BIOS.

  • Keyboard and touchpad do not work on Satellite C870-13F

    I have a computer satellite C870-13th since August.

    Yesterday for no apparent reason, my touchpad has stopped working. (no, I didn't turn off)
    Not really bothered by it, I continued working on my computer for several hours.
    Find it me so that he might be a little bug, so I decided to restart my computer.

    When we turn back, not only my touchpad does not work, now nothing on my keyboard responded, not a single touch. I've updated the drivers, bios, done a virus scan, restored my computer for a few days before, nothing is.

    The strange thing is that the keyboard is always when I press F1 or F8, 0, enter, and arrow keys to get into the menus before windows starts.

    Help them, I used the toshiba recovery to restore the computer to factory settings.
    Despite all this, keyboard and touchpad are still pending.
    I don't really understand, because it works at startup may not be real materialistic damage!

    Now, I'm getting frustrated cause I have more solutions and tapping the screen with the keyboard is really slow! = p

    Any help?

    Hello

    I think that it s a bad material work because you have already tried the system recovery and the keyboard does not work even if you use the factory settings.

    But it would be interesting to know if the USB external keyboard would serve. You can test this? In my opinion if the external keyboard would work properly, then it would mean that your keyboard is faulty and must be replaced.
    I m wondering if the fault of the touchpad is related to failure of internal keyboard.

    However, I think that the guarantee must still be valid if you bought this unit in August. Then get in touch with service and guys should fix it for free!

    Now, my fan always runs at maximum, it never ideals.
    It's always the same, even when I choose its configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only update the bios.

    I tested with the latest divers chipset intel and Nvidia alsow driver and it's always the same.
    So my concludes is the BIOS, is Toshiba knows something about this problem and work on a newer bios?

    Sincere friendships Ishmael

    Everything indicates that the BIOS 4.10 is the problem common to the always high speed of the graphic fan even when the PC is in sleep mode.

    I want to see action as a new revision of the BIOS 4.10!

  • HP pavilion ak00nv 15: should I change fan always on

    Hello

    My fan on my laptop working permanently. The laptop is new (2 months) and no problems with dust or the temperature. I saw there is a setting in the bios to disable "fan always on". My laptop has 6700HQ i7 intel and Nvidia GTX 950 4 GB. Should I turn off the fan always on? What happens exactly? And I have temperature problems after doing this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You are welcome

    The premise behind the parameter "Fan always on ', is that it minimizes the degree to which hardware components expand and contract.  However, if you select off, the fan still will start when required.

    If you really want to disable this feature, just do when on battery (when does not work nothing require) is probably the best idea.

    Kind regards

  • At the start of the fan to the top and stop at 100%

    Hello people.

    There are not many things to add really on what I said in the topic. When I turn on the PC the gos Fan until I can only describe as 100% (Jet Engine) and it remains at 100% to the bottom of the screen, and only when it seems sensors and the Fans of Apears on the bottom right of the screen. When this produces fans starts to slow down its normal speed and the PC becomes quite once more... Now, this is obviously something that something has been damaged inside the pc, now wiz im not a PC and I am always fully covered by Dell for next day repairs but not right ide and I worry rather see if I can try a fix myself before getting someone to appear at my house. Again, as mentioned on my subject Shut down is the same when I select a stop down the wiz fans themselves up again what I can only describe as 100% and to 100% of the power is turned off completely... any help is welcome for me.

    on a side note the PC works quite well when it works (and when the Fans stop going crazy)... Checks system COMPLETE and Dell came up with zero problems (all ticks)

    If you need any information on what this pc is running do not hesitate to ask.

    Thank you
