  • Noise from HDD on my brand new DX730 - 10K

    I'm sorry for my bad English skills, but I will try to explain my problem.

    I bought my DX730 a few days ago and especially I'm frankly pleased with the pc, but I'm worried by the hard drive.
    In my opinion it works a little to rabies because the laptop I had before was quieter, in caprison to the pc.

    Is it normal to hear the hard drive obviouisly?
    Or is there something wrong with it?

    I would be happy to answer!

    Hello

    It of always difficult to give you advice without checking the noise.
    But in most cases its nothing that a HARD drive makes an unusual noise.
    The noise is due to the rotation of the disk and the read/write head movements.

    In addition, the noise can be stronger or quitter using different hard drives from different manufacturers, so in my opinion, you should not be worried, but to be safe, back up the data always.

  • Camileo P100 screen is black, but the noise from the unit

    Hi all
    I just bought a Camileo P100 and fully charged.

    Although it seems to work when you take a picture the camera 'clicks', the video recording the LED flashes, the touch screen is black and I don't see anything.

    When you touch the screen, it doesn't seem to be working (there are noises from the unit when I touch the screen), but the screen is black.

    Can anyone help?

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: strange noise from NECK or HARD drive FAN

    I have a brand new A200 - 1 M 5 has bought 10 days ago and 4 days ago one began to hear a strange noise from the fan or the cpu or perhaps hhd I don't know!

    When windows stars I continued fan power. I mean like vooom, solid with air coming out.

    I also wanted to turn on the pc, it lights!
    There are AC lamp light but not on the battery!

    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.

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

  • NEITHER 9205 always returns the noise from rail to rail.

    Hi all

    I'm completely stumped on this one. I went through the procedure of implementation of the NI 9205 module in my project. Setting the channel to the appropriate type. Placed the node IO in my FPGA code, read and all I get is noise from rail to rail, that is, whatever the measurement range is, I'm getting noise across the range. I ran it as a measure of CSR, as a measure differential, differential with COM updated wrt my diet, differential with COM Earth and the mass of the chassis connected to my powersupply ground.

    Rail to rail noise ringing bells for anyone?

    I checked with an oscilloscope that the appropriate signal is seen on the pins in all the configurations above. I even unplugged and plugged a 3 v battery through the pines and still noise from rail to rail get.

    Help!

    HM, I used the 9205 before, but didn't have never seen something like this. I am more fan of data buffering in a FIFO, rather than reading a control value, but still, you shouldn't see this kind of securities for a reason that I don't see. I had problems with the modules where something is messed up and randomly, the signal will drop out then go back (in fact, I am about to send an or because it is still under warranty, but it's in a portable box, so I think that he may have had problems with shock or something of the sort). I wish I had a good answer for you, but you seem you know what you're doing, so it could be one of those cases where there is a hardware problem.  You have any other module HAVE you can share and see if those working in this niche? You can try it in a different location to maybe see there is a connection from bad backplane? You can also check if your local rep OR has a loan that they can indulge for a day, just to see if another 9205 works. Usually, these are the steps I take when I think that there may be a hardware problem. Unfortunately, except that I don't have a lot of input for you.

  • Weird noise from VN7 - 792G

    I bought the machine in June and he was silent, but now, we have heard a very low volume hum / buzz (a bit like a mosquito passng by your ear, except 3 octaves lower) more frequently. He comes from the right - about in the vicinity of the Enter key and performed intermittently for about maybe 2 or 4 seconds that the machine is actively processing data or update Web pages. It is not correlated with the fan turning power. Any ideas?

    You have to disassemble the laptop to the point where you have the motherboard out. Remove the thermal unit from the motherboard and replace the thermal paste before reassembly with new thermal unit. It is useful for a little bit of noise from the fan?

    Here is an example of the heat unit,

  • Whenever I have insert a device into the port I heard an unusual noise from my laptop

    Original title: usb device

    Any time I incert a device in the port, I heard an unusual noise from my laptop.

    Hello

    It could be Connect Device noise - double click on the little speaker near the clock below
    right and MUTE (speaker under the cursor symbol).

    If that stops the sound and you want to permanently stop without using the MUTE - right
    Click on the small speaker - sounds - search device connection and set it to NONE.

    If inhibition does not stop the noise could be disturbing, and I would have the computer controlled
    by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or the
    Support of the machine system.

    I hope this helps.

  • Reduce the noise from the projector

    I'm new to first items 10 and plan on some of my first projects making the transfer of some sound Super 8 films on DVD and the web. I have the film loaded into Premiere Elements but I notice that some have noise from the projector in the background. I have them done with microphone of the camera, pick up the sound from the speaker projector since I have no way to save only the sound alone.

    I did have a lot of luck with the help of audio effects to reduce noise. So I was wondering if anyone knows what I have to use filters. I want to reduce or eliminate (no chance of this, I know) the projector noise so that the voice can be heard better. Thanks to all who have advice!

    I have books of Steve Grisetti ordered but I would like to do something on this project in the meantime. I do not understand how the audio effects change the audio, but I hope the books will give me a full understanding of them.

    The removal of the 'noise' of an Audio file is usually difficult, hard work and often not that good. Yet, this ARTICLE goes into detail. Unfortunately, with noise audio, there is no "miracle cure".

    In my case, my projector Eumig Dual-8 has a one line (DIN plug) and I just feed on my recorder or camera and in the latter case, select Line In, only to turn off the microphone.

    Good luck

  • No noise from the multimedia keys on Satellite A500

    Hello I have same problem as in the topic here:

    https://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64595&TSTART=150

    I do the same thing as the egold70 user (re install VAP and SCCF) and the problem is partly in trouble.

    Now all the extra button (eco, light on/off) works fine, but there is no sound on the buttons.
    When I reboot laptop there is a sound at first: they blink and do a "beeep" but after I play music or anything like that that make the 'sounds' (like the sound of incoming mail or something) the buttons become silent, they only Flash.

    I reinstall the sound drivers that did not help, funny because when the miusic plays constantly they make a noise when I turn off miusic after a few seconds, they became silent. When I do Fn + ESC (mute on / off), there is a sound like at the start, but as I say, until some other 'noise' is played and they become silent. It's boring to FN + ESC again and again.

    Anyone can help with this?

    Hi Sheriff:

    I can't be sure, but it looks like your hard drive is a failure.

    I would like to back up immediately.

    Note: If you use Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner https://bombich.com/ you can make a clone (bootable backup) of your hard drive.

    When your hard drive fails, you will be able to boot from your backup.

  • Satellite L20: Strange noise from heat sink when the power adapter is purchased

    Hello

    I own a Satellite L20 laptop and when I take the power cord out of my L20 and power to the battery on a strange sound high tone appears when I put my ear on the heat sink and can be heard normally.

    It is never used to do this.
    Any ideas?

    I don't know if you can hear the sound, as I do, when to do as you described, but this noise is coming from the CPU, when your phone is inactive or sous-travaille.

    Have it on my computer Toshiba no as well and everything I read that there is nothing to worry about and normally, you does not recognize.
