• T60 - thermal grease replacement fan

  My T60 fan started whining then IBM sent me a replacement fan and a tube of thermal grease - but the fan already has the thermal grease on it.

  Fat is actually a matrix of 5 x 7 of 35 points of thermal grease. Everything I've ever read on the application of thermal paste says that it should be applied in a very thin layer, smooth and these thermal grease points seem quite in line with that.

  1 should I flatten points and spread them thinly? Or IBM expects we just install what it is - maybe the pressure during the installation is supposed to flatten out the appropriate grease?

  2 should I create some handy pure alcohol to remove all the old grease before replacing the fan?

  Hello

  1. the points will become flat and a thin layer under pressure and when it is applied.

  2. Yes, clean the old grease.

  3. watch any contact part´s get´s fat.

  Like your old radiator, it takes grease on the new.

• Pavilion dv6: thermal cleaning fan/paste procedure?

  Hi all

  I soon open my laptop top to replace the thermal paste in the motherboard and clean the fan in my computer. I base what I'm OFF this Youtube video:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=el0B6imb5hg

  I intend using E2 IC compound thermal essential, an anti-static wristband and a few screwdrivers to this "operation". Not to mention that static electricity and what is mentioned in the video (essentially to remove tons of screws until I can take out the motherboard, then clean the old thermal paste and put new in) is there anything else I need to keep in mind?

  This is a very good video. If you follow, you will have no problems. Just be sure to apply thermal grease sparingly. It should just cover the bright core of the processor and not slop on the Green CPU card.

• HP pavilion dv6 6154tx: thermal grease replace

  What thermal grease is suitable for my computer laptop dv6 6154tx? What thermal grease is used by the Hp company? Please suggest me a good product.

  Thermal grease is acceptable. It is more a matter of how it is applied to the brand of the compound you use. The trick is to cover just the core processor as thin as possible while providing full coverage, but coming down not more. There is usually just a drop in the size of a BB. If you do not find it my favorite brand is Arctic Silver with the highest possible metal content, which is generally indicated on the label. But even the economic 'pack of ketchup' white stuff works very well.

• 1245dx D7 - reapply the thermal grease for CPU/GPU - GPU thermal pad

  The result is a hp pavilion dv7 1245dx having heating issues so disassabled to clean it and apply new thermal grease and notice that the video chip has a thermal pad instead of thermal grease. This is what it looks like.

  Guys/girls do you think it is reusable or do I need to replace it as well. If I need to replace it, what are my options? Difficult to find a pad thermal repalcement anywhere. A decent high CoolerMaster performace size heat for the CPU it's okay.

  Yes, it uses a thermal buffer, because the gap is too big to fill with dough. You can reuse the pad. Some people even make a solid metal shim in sheet copper or a hammered out penny and you can apply heat is dedicated to that.

• Pavilion g7 thermal grease for Proccesor graphic.

  Pavilion laptop g7 requires thermal grease for Proccesor graphic?

  Thank you!

  Whenever I have repair a laptop I remove thin aluminum shim and clean the heat sink. Then I use a small amount of artic silver (my choice. There are others) a thin layer is fine. The thing to watch are the pads of heat transfer of silicone that maybe on graphic memory chips. Do not put any HT composed on those. You can find sheets of silicone in line. (color = thickness) HT silicone pads are also used on the northbridge, and sometimes on both voltage regulator components.

• HP Pavilion dv5237cl Notebook intermittently Shuts Down Due to a thermal event, fan stops working

  Basics:

  HP Pavilion dv5237cl

  Windows XP SP3 32 bit

  PCMCIA SATA card

  1 TB WD Scorpio blue HARD drive

  Computer laptop with 200mm fan cooling pad

  Some USB devices

  Latest drivers and BIOS

  Note: This problem also occurs with Windows 8.

  For the last year my HP Pavilion dv5237cl turned off because of the fan does not work.  I have never seen the term "Thermal event" displayed prior to or on restart.  Usually just abruptly, he died.   I also saw a few BSOD that are not very descriptive to pointing to what the cause was and may be not related.  The laptop usually just stops working and goes out, maybe once every couple of days if it is caught in time.  I HAV been using a Defragmenter memory to help as appropriate the BSOD were due to low memory resources.  I am tracking the temperature of the CPU and have noticed that it is high, when the fan is not working.  I saw up to 85 C and I'm not sure but think that the laptop stops at 100 ° C.  The fan is usually always go at least to a low hum.  Usually, on startup, I get a strong burst of activity fan and if this isn't the case I'm clued in to a fan, not to exploit the condition.

  If I take a PIN regularly and carefully stitch it through the opening in the fan and cause rotate the blades of the fan, the fan will usually start working.  It sometimes takes a few tries.  I noticed the fan poll as it is sometimes wobbling and resembling a noise of ball bearing, but I think it is also maybe a hinged fan.  Some hopping may be due to the time that I used the pin code.  Fan usually settled in a low purr and lately with some ball light bering sound, maybe just wobble.  If I'm not there when the fan stops working or do not notice to try to remedy with a PIN, then the laptop stops due to excessive heat.

  Things I've tried or thought of trying:

  -J' I used canned and out air / blow accumulated debri from inside the vacuum cleaner to suck up and cleaned the vents.

  -J' I add the cooler that keeps time less around 5 c.  The laptop temperature was 55 to 62 C this winter.

  -Install the latest drivers and BIOS.

  -Tried to use Windows 8.

  -J' bought a replacement fan but did not want to disassemble the laptop to install it and also not be

  not know if it is really a material fan or a control sensor or other hardware problem or software problem.

  Thanks in advance.  Help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

  I understand that your laptop stops due to overheating.

  Given the behavior and how the fan no longer works and must be "started" once again, this does not sound like a fan failure.  Page 5-60 of this guide details the process of replacing the fan and the heatsink in Notepad.  If this is something you'd rather not do it yourself, you could contact a local PC shop for the fan and the heat sink replaced.

• Tecra A8 - is overheating caused by Firefox?

  Here in the forum is my post
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=50994&TSTART=0

  Everything counts in overheating, which is resolved.

  Just to add, this processor "overheating" may also be caused by Firefox. I mean, when I close Firefox, rest process firefox.exe Firefox active leading to the processor of work increased, with temperatures similar to those of the screenshot in my very first post at the top of the page link. And after killing the process, everything is Ok.

  Hi Suad Novic,

  To be honest I n don't know what problems you have but in my opinion it of normal Firefox produces the CPU usage. I use this browser for years now and never had a problem and for me it of normal that the laptop is cooler if no application is started.

  I think that if you try the same with Internet Explorer you also use most of the CPU.

• Should T530 - I better put the thermal grease on it?

  I have 2359CTO t530. I bought it as refurb Lenovo more that year pass, is no longer under warranty. There 3740QM I7, NVIDIA graphics card NVS 5400 M, 16G of ram and 480G mSATA as main HD (I upgraded RAM and HD. When I run TPFC.63 7 manual setting, temperature is usually less than 60 ° C, but it sometimes jumps in smart setting and the temperature rises.

  It has full HD screen and I've usually run in Lenovo platform 3 with 2 external displays, a 1920 x 1200, other 2540 x 1440.

  As my old T61p with NVIDIA graphics just died (a long and 2 short beeps), I removed the system board, and there was not a lot of thermal paste on it from the factory and I learned my lesson, and I would like to avoid this on my T530.

  Please advice what block you recommend, especially if you have some info on how it lowers the temperature of the T530.

  Thank you.

  Personally, I use MX - 4 because it is non-conductive nature. As mentioned AS5 is also good. Does seem to be significantly better than the stock however dough.

  If it's any consolation, I ran my W520 at 95 c for long periods of time, and everything still seems to work.

  Enter in TPFanControl INI and set ManModeExit to something higher then it stop jumping in the smart Mode. You can also use the 64 fan speed to operate the fan at a higher level without papers.

• computer overheating. dust cleaned and checked the fans

  I cleaned the dust and checked to see if the fans are working. They are, but they are quite loud.

  How can I solve the problem

  I suggest you check the fins of the cooler for a dusty atmosphere.
  You might consider replacing the CPU cooler by a market grade.

  Remove the cooler, clean the top of the CPU with a Microfiber cloth and denatured alcohol, do the same thing at the base of cpu cooler. Use a good interface thermal Arctic Silver or OCZ Freeze material. Reinstall the cooler.

  If you have never done this before there is a decision point. You can have this done in a store. If you have done it before, so no worries.

• Aurora-R4, Question of thermal control Fan

  Hi all

  Fans have been crazy lately, to very strong of the RPM. Lately, but when you look at thermal control system is from 0 RPM and 0% (is this normal)? It feels like my liquid cooling does not work. I took the outside cooling and nothing is plugged, I've updated the Bios and the center of command, but slowed down looks hot to me and fans will be rev like crazy at the time. If I play a game like troubleshooting 2 then go nuts. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. What is a cooling system of spare parts well I could put in my system without any problems?

  Thanks for your time,
  Paint

  Ok thank you, as I said in my first post, I checked all that and uninstalled the command center and reinstalled, updated the bios, fans are very good. So thanks for the generic answer, I ordered a new liquid cooling system and not the OEM Dell 200.00 tries to sell you. So for 65.00, it runs more fresh than ever.

• GPU overheating causing system crash

  My T61 was resurrected after a spill major drink completely killed a few months ago.  The shop dismantled it, cleaned it up carefully, it, and now it works fine, except for one problem.

  When I do something that involves video (YouTube or playing a DVD movie), the system is likely to stop completely.  I'll hear a soft click, the screen goes black, all LED indicators go black - completely dead.  By pressing the power button does nothing.  To restart the machine, I have to remove the battery and unplug the AC power.  Then when I plug the battery back in, LEDs, and power by pressing the button starts the machine up.  As long as I'm not all the videos, everything is back to normal.

  I went through this cycle now maybe 50 times; He doesn't seem to get any worse or better over time.

  I installed GPU - Z and turned on logging, then deliberately caused the stop playback of videos.  The judgment seems to invariably occur when the temperature of the GPU is over 110-113 degrees Celsius.

  So, two questions:

  (1) there may be heat sinks that would need to be re-sitting?  Cooling which would need to be cleaned?

  (2) is it possible to replace the GPU?  I have a nVidia NVS 140 M.

  Any other suggestions would be welcome.  Unfortunately, this system is more under warranty.

  Thank you

  Allan

  Ornith & Mark,

  I solved my problems in the long run, with the motherboard replaced.

• Satellite P200 - 123 No Post, but still the boots

  Hello

  Have a strange, my old Satellite P200-123 worked extremely hot (70 inactive more than 100 of the load) 2 years so he disassembled and replaced the thermal grease, fans and cleaned. Standard maintenance went well, (apart from the microphone plug disintegrate at the start, but I use headphones so not really a problem).

  First boot after the interview I noticed that the screen does not display anything until windows log in screen, no toshiba screen, no post messages, etc. At first, I thought it may have lack of an external port (VGA or HDMI) however I tried to connect to an external device and he still refuses to show anything until the windows log on screen.

  I stripped and repaired hundreds of laptops (it's my job) but never encountered this in 15 years of maintenance and repairs PC and laptop. System running Windows 7 (not like it should make a difference) and the used thermal grease was the new Artic MX-3 and served on the GPU, the CPU and the Northbridge (and before someone says you must use the compound of unfounded pressure of toshiba ceramics, stuff I've used here are better for this the toshiba recommended stuff, believe me). The system works well (now idling at 39 and 65 at full load), I guess that's not much of a problem, unless I need to reinstall or restore my machine for some reason, all the world has an idea on how to fix this?

  Very interesting, Jaster! :)

  Thanks for sharing this information with us!

• SAT S1800-921 freezes after 5 minutes

  This laptop freezes after 5 minutes. The only solution is to unplug the power supply. It is usually impossible for something like 20 minutes to restart the computer.
  Already tried operating system sector / boot in the bios-update / reinstall.

  Sometimes when I start the laptop nothing happens at all but the Green led indicating that the laptop is on.

  Anyone suggestions... Please?

  Hi people,

  I don't know any virus that will prevent a computer until it has passed some time. The only thing I know to cause this behavior is overheating causing an internal thermal trigger to operate. It must then cool enough to reset before you can find. Of course the longest (and so more fresh) the laptop's left over it will eventually work before freezing.

  Check that the cooling system is not obstructed in some way (dust or proximity loose papers, fabrics for furniture etc.).

  Kind regards
