Solved problem on Satellite P30 Pro overheating

Wow! I opened my computer laptop, cleaned the heatsink and fans 1/2 ton (exaggeration!) plushies de-dusted etc. have the rest of the components, including motherboard, put together and Voila, which was a cell phone 'dead' according to the Rémy, pulled up and works perfectly!

I thought that just cleaning the vents etc. would solve overheating but as she has previously wouldn t turn on and then didn't have much hope, but as my son says that his policy is that if you take em to bits and reassemble then chances are they have miraculously working again! I can t his thought however "non-technical" fault it may seem!

I hope that the other gives hope!

Hi Steve

Thanks for the good news. I read some comments here in the forum on the problems of overheating and especially dust and debris inside the laptop and fans was responsible for the problems.
However, thanks for the comments and I'm sure it could be useful for other users.

  • My Satellite P30 keeps overheating...

    Hello

    My Satellite P30 keeps overheating and stop playing computer games. I had this problem 4 months ago and sent my computer to Toshiba. They sent to me with a new fan but now 4 months later the same problem comes back again.

    I doubt that the fan is broken again because I changed it about 4 months ago. I read somewhere on the internet that the problem might be rather an accumulation of dust on the heatsink. I heard that there is a problem with many Toshiba models, which will suck the air from below without filter.

    If it's my problem, how can I clean my radiator?

    Thank you

    Hello Hugo

    The problem is not just dust. A friend of mine has a similar problem and at the end I saw that he uses his cell phone on the table with the tablecloth. The of cold air over the lower part was closed and unit was suddenly switched off.

    Be also careful that your device can catch its breath and you can do a test, put on something to do with the distance between the laptop and the desktop (four books or something similar). Please try this and let me know if the problem persists.

    Good bye

  • Solve problems through satellite S1900-203 - CPU

    Hi guys,.

    I had trouble with my old Toshiba Satellite 1900 and I followed the instructions found on the web to solve:

    [http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=47737756&b logID = 189326100]

    I think that the main problem was the cooling fan, so I removed the batteries and opened the box of the cpu. I removed the 4 screws to remove the heater box, but with, he's the whole processor (he was attached to the cooling area). I cleaned the dust and put the drug in his place, but now my computer no longer works (only the fan works, but the screen is black and nothing happens).
    Can you help me?

    ALE

    Hello Ale

    I'm afraid that your laptop is dead now. I am not a technician, but what is missing is the grease between the CPU and the cooling module. I'm really afraid that the CPU is grilled.

  • Strange problems on Satellite P30

    Hello
    Hope someone can help me that this laptop is causing me a massive headache

    The P30 for 2 1/2 years now, had my share of problems, DC have to be repaired and overheating due to the obstruction of the fan/radiator etc.

    a few months I ve noticed problems again with the domain controller, connection, works ok, but if you hit the laptop a little, it loses its charge and the amber light turns off and it extends the battery, the laptop must be turned off in so he can be charged. Also, there is a hissing/crackling noise from the charger when it is plugged

    I downloaded ATI Catalyst software a few days back and since then I ve had nothing other than problems, I got a mom.exe error and since then I have times m restarting constantly randomly, I formatted my system using the master CD, the laptop was returned to the factory settings, but 2 minutes in windows, I restarted, I formatted again and put an original disc of XP SP2 and who used to put a fresh xp on my laptop. But once I was doing restarted without any warning. Of course, I had installed my hardware from Toshiba disk drivers.

    Now my system is totally messing with my head, I can't get into windows without problem, I can surf the internet without problem, I tested a game for 5 hours last night (set of high spec) there was no reboot at all, and the computer ran fine. If I open windows media player and search for songs my computer restarts, I have tried to install software like nero and System Mechanic it restarts again, I watched a movie using windows media player and who ran late, its when its looking for songs it turns off, I do not understand is how random, I don't see the problem is the video card (games will work perfectly) and I do not think that the problem are a nuisance power because the game ran fine with the fans spinning, got a little hot, but that's normal I guess. It s mainly when I m access some files on my drive C: is when it restarts

    Please can someone help with this strange problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Oh 1 still a thing, I also have problems with my m * a UJ820S mat, when I connect to windows, it is not in my computer, if I remove the Bay and restart the machine, it appears and works fine until my computer is off again

    Hello

    I read all strange story twice and believe me, confuses the issue description
    I can't give you a solution to the problem, but I can try to make some suggestions
    To me, it looks like a motherboard problem

    Several years ago I also had a strange problem with my old no Toshiba laptop.
    The laptop always closes if I open the html files. But this happened only while the laptop was connected to the main power supply.
    It's very strange for me and the ASP could not believe that finally, the technician changed the motherboard and since this replacement everything runs great

    I think you should also try to contact the service provider in your country for detailed notebook verification.
    In your case, it s really necessary

  • Green vertical line on screen - Satellite P30 Pro

    A single thin green vertical line appeared about a sixth of the way across the screen. It works up and down continuously and immediately displays the screen is activated.

    I presume that this indicates a hardware failure - can anyone confirm please? Guess I'm interested in large bills?

    Hi Ian

    How is - someone must provide an exactly fault diagnosis without putting the hand on this laptop?
    Here, we can suggest and discuss only!

    If she really looks like a hardware problem, but the question is; What s wrong.
    In my opinion, you must connect the external monitor to the laptop. Check if the same vertical line appears on the second screen!

    If Yes, then the chances are high that the graphics card is broken! This could be a case value because the GPU is soldered on the Board and the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve this problem.

  • Satellite P30 Pro: Will not properly sleep mode

    Hello

    I do not normally use the standby feature, but it hibernates.
    Recently, I started using it, so I keep the supply charge of the power supply of the wireless mouse.
    Unfortunately, he's not exactly going in standby mode it used to - I close the lid and I can hear the fan turns off after a few seconds (about 20) standby red LED flashes and then they come back after 5/10 seconds and stays on.

    The standby light goes green on and in practice, it is, switches the screen off the power and the ADSL connection - that's all.
    I did close the cover of the last night and found this morning with 3 green LEDs on the fans running!

    Any help?
    Please note that the settings are correct - I just checked and it is set to go into sleep mode by closing the lid.

    Thank you
    Mobo

    PS: Lately, I have day a few drivers from the Web from Toshiba site (can't remember which)

    Hello

    If I understand you right, the laptop is on standby and it s is always connected to the local network.

    Well, maybe there is a wake-up on LAN enabled mode who wakes the machine automatically to standby mode.

    Try to access the BIOS and LAN / WLan, settings on the card and if necessary to disable this option.

  • Satellite P30-110: how to open the machine for the cleaning of the fan?

    Hello

    I'm having problems with my Satellite P30 - 110 overheating and turn off during routine tasks. I need to clean the fans and did it with compressed air. But I really want to get to the fans and clean them unobstructed. Is there a visual guide on how to open it?

    I removed the screws that are visible, but it will not always be open. Don't want to force it.

  • Satellite P30 - DVD UJ - 830 s problems - you can't copy or move files

    Hello
    Just had to reinstall everything using the Toshiba Recovery disk image.

    DVD drive works at all, which always gives a drive not connected WARNING!

    Then after 2 days and reinstall OLD records, he began to work.

    Now, I can't move a file by copying and pasting, and it does not even appear on SEND it to the list!

    I can read without problem, I can write using the power to go, but I can't write by simply moving a file it! I'll try InCD again and hope it works this time.

    Any idea? I checked the uptade files and firmware, but they are not for this drive, apparently the UJ-830 almost does not exist online at all! Toshiba has got rid of them with all their version (not the Pro) Satellite P30.

    It's a rug * a (Matsu * a - i.e. Panasonic!) UJ-830 S

    Does anyone know were to find hardware manual internal Satellite P30, so I can make the appropriate myself upgrade! I am a technician in electronics and likes to do things correctly.

    This DVD player, in my opinion, is the only let down on this laptop very nice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You have suggested that you can read without any problems and writing also works using the power to go. I guess the power to go is burning software.
    In this case I think the disk is ok.

    I think that if you want to write the files to the CD using the file just go you must activate Windows registry.
    Go to the properties of disk (right-click) and select? record? tab.
    There, you should check the options.

  • Satellite P30 133 blocks due to overheating

    I have a P30-133 which overheats and crashes regularly. It will not work on a flat surface, it must be away from any surface to give fans a chance to cool enough. Is this a known issue with the P30-133 and, if so, is it possible to solve?

    I also notice that my battery not upward. These problems could be related?

    Hello

    I don't want to speculate on known issues, but what I know is that Satellite P30 is very old model of laptop. It takes about 6 years. If your laptop has never been cleaned, I imagine that the cooling system is full of dust.

    I phone 4 years old and I already cleaned 2 times. You can't imagine how many dust I found inside.
    I can imagine, is that, after so long time, the small rubber feet down are slim now and there is not enough space between you laptop and the desktop. What I do is to rehabilitate the part of the laptop to two boxes of music CD and then there is more space and portable can be cooled a lot better.

    Think about these two things. Maybe it will help you.

  • Satellite P30 - battery will not work correctly

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite P30 for more than a year now and overall I am very satisfied with this mobile 'desktop '.
    The worrying thing is that I keep the laptop high time constant to allow room for the fans. (If they get hot the laptop just turns off).

    My question is about my battery about 3 months ago, the problem began, suddenly at random time my laptop can not regocnize battery which mean that even if the cable ca is in hes runnin on battery and goes so goes out after a while. I always leave the battery in the laptop when I use it because the cable ca is not quite stable more unfortunately so I need to keep a book on the cable in order to make it work.
    Is it possible that I can claim a new battery or do something about the problem? It is very difficult when I'm workin and all of a sudden the light just goes and I know that I have a max of 30 min before he died.
    Please let me know what I can do, thank you

    Alexander Wiegand

    Hi Alexander,.

    I don't think that the problem is with your battery, it is more likely to be a bad contact on the ca cable where it plugs into your laptop. In general, the ca card makes an intermittent contact and that the power of fools management system into believing that AC power has been disconnected. It follows that the power, then transfers to battery power and it ejects then until the powers of the unit off.

    I managed to solve this problem on my SA30 anchoring the power cable at the back of the laptop so that there is no constraint on the card.

    With regard to the problem of overheating, computers laptop modern can generate a lot of heat and requires a lot of cooling air to keep things cool. Make sure that the cooling system is cleaned of dust and debris with a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the intakes on a regular basis.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

    Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

    I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

    When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

    The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

    I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

  • Satellite P30: CPU going to hot

    Thank you for your support.

  • Satellite P30-145: where to find the Radeon 9700 Mobility for Vista drivers

    Does anyone at - he had a success get drivers ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 to arrive correctly on a P30-145 on the RTM of Vista version? Currently, everything seems to be detected ok but I get an error in saying Device Manager: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "Googling didn't turn out much more than a certain number of people see this same error and it could be necessary an update of the BIOS, or the problem may be in the area of drivers ACPI?

    Outside the upcoming graphics card not properly the only other comment I have is that system standby support doesn't seem to appear and that the cooling fan is continuously on, both of which I'm sure that can be fixed with a Toshiba release.

    All had experiences with Vista and Satellite P30?

    Hello

    I have no Satellite P30, but it will be interesting to see what kind of support Toshiba will arrange for older models of laptops and where will be the last limitation (how the old units will be supported).

    AFAIK P30 is about two years old and we will see if the units in the year 2005 will be Vista supported. Official start is January 2007. Before that I n t believe you will get official info. I just hope that my Satellite Pro M70 will be supported.

    In any case good luck!

  • Satellite P30: Energy saving does not work correctly

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I have problems with my energy saving mode. When I use it for games and other applications of high power, it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and stops.

    Is it for the last month or two. Before that, it was absolutelly no problem. I checked the file TPSTrace and got this error message:
    A fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x0 rental: MainFrm.cpp (1317)

    I do not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi Thomas

    It is not easy to give you an accurate diagnosis, but in my opinion your laptop isn't hot because of the energy savings. Satellite P30 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should clean your laptop.

    Have you done this before?

    This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove the preinstalled energy saver and after restarting try installing it again.

    Just FYI: Watch tool is very useful, but certainly not so important and your system can function very well without it. Because of this, I presume that portable hot is because of dust inside. With more CPU and activity hardware graphics card will be hot and must be cooled properly. If the cooling rack does not clean this cannot happen. Initially, notebook will be hot, but one day she is probably turned off without any warning.

    In the first trial step to clean your laptop and remove all the dust under cooling grill.

  • Satellite P30-145: White Rectangle on screen

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30-145, and he has recently developed a problem with the display. Whenever the computer is turned on, there is a large white rectangle covering part of the screen from top to bottom.

    Stopping and restarting the computer didn't help, display settings settings I tried did not work and a system restore did not work.

    I think it's maybe a problem of overheating the computer often becomes very hot and sometimes stops due to overheating (even if fans don't seem to be blocked when this happens).

    Anyone know what could be the problem and if it can be fixed?

    Hello

    I think that the fault of the graphics card might be the problem
    Maybe the GPU damaged because the temperature inside the laptop.
    As you say the laptop is overheating and it is really possible that it was a reason for that matter.

    In my opinion, you need to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if the same will appear on the second screen.
    If you're going to see the same rectangle on the screen then the graphics card is damage and the entire motherboard must be replaced

    Feedback would be greatly appreciated
