Tecra M5 - Toshiba Power Saver did not do his job properly

Hello

After looking for a tool to silence my Tecra M5 awhile, I found an apparently nice application called Toshiba Power Saver. Unfortunately this tool doesn't seem to work properly. I played with the [slider cooling method | http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8008/powersaver.jpg] (click to see a picture) and here's how it works.

The cooling method can be set to one of four options: battery optimized Performance, maximum Performance and cooling optimized, where one is supposed to be the quietest, and those of other more noisy.

Assume that the cpu fan spins at high speed at the start and I do not have anything on my laptop. I move the cursor to the battery optimized setting, click on apply and the fan (instantly) slows down (yay!). Then I need to do something about hunger for a while and finally the fan turns up the noisy power level. I then doing nothing of the brand-new, but the fan is like that * ever *. The processor is as cold as ice, the air is blown could freeze the fingers, but the fan spins like crazy to wake up my neighbours on the road.

I'm really sure that the cpu is cool? Yes. Why?
Because when I move the slider for Performance affecting now and click on apply the fan slows down (right) and remains like that until I start working on something new. Then I stop doing what I was doing and the continuous spinning fan * ever * once again.

So I change the method of cooling for battery optimized setting back again once, click on apply and the fan slows down... and so on and so forth, stuck in a vicious circle.

The key to success here is keep pressing the button apply, which the Power Saver application should do from time to time and not me and not forgetting what it is here for.

What is the problem with this app? Is there a fix available (or alternative)?
The version I have is 7.11 and runs on XP Pro SP3.

Hello

What about your ad here?

TOSHIBA Power saver is tool Toshiba use for years and it is preinstalled on 98% of all models of Toshiba laptops. So, in my opinion, this tool is certainly one of the best and most effective tool designed by Toshiba.

Over the last 10 years, I have worked with many Toshiba laptops and I used this tool on each laptop to optimize my work. Mix between the good performance of the processor and method of cooling level offers enough power for each working day and with a low level in the method of cooling laptop runs pretty quiet.

Maybe stupid sounds now, but I have noticed that the Portege notebooks are, perhaps, more sensitive and using tool electric saver you cannot have the same effect as on certain portable Satellite and Tecra.

I do not think that this tool doesn't work properly on your Portege but Portege laptops have a specific design and material may reach a higher temperature faster than on the other laptop models.
Portege laptops have excellent and powerful material packed in a box of small notebook.
Sometimes laptop runs quiet and if you just connect the USB mouse the cooling fan starts to run strong enough. A small business can speed up physical activity and if temperature sensors have noticed a higher temperature for a degree C only, the fan control mechanism get information starts to cool the fan turns.

It is really not easy to tell if there is something wrong or right. My personal opinion is that everything is OK. You can try to talk with the service of Toshiba. Call them and ask for explanations. They should have enough experience with this stuff.

In any case, good luck!

  • Satellite A100-599: cannot start service Toshiba Power Saver

    I have A100-599 with Vista pre-installed. As you know there is that Toshiba Power Saver comes with mobile vista power settings. Not always, but sometimes when I turn on the computer and start windows I get this message "service Toshiba Power Saver could not start.

    When I checked in Control Panel-> system-> Services if the service indeed off I saw he did start and run.

    Can someone tell me why this message sometimes? It is a software issue or maybe there is a problem with the hardware?

    Maybe I m wrong but as I know Toshiba has not designed for Vista operating system energy saver!
    Vista uses a power options clean that looks like a little bit like the Toshiba power saver, but not energy from Toshiba!

    All laptop computers that are shipped with Vista have any preinstalled Toshiba eve!

  • Toshiba power saver and limited account

    Hello

    I did a limited Windows account.
    TOSHIBA Power Saver does not work in a limited account.
    And I see no symbol in the system tray.

    What can I do?

    (Satellite Pro 2100, Windows XP Pro)

    Well, I'll try to add change the rights on this tool.
    You can select energy saver and change permissions on the (limited) user name.
    Change for total control.

    In addition, you can set the energy saver shortcut in the startup of the limited account folder.
    I think that the path should looks like this:
    \Startlimited user accountC:\Documents and Settings\

    In this case, the energy saver should start at the beginning of the year and should appear in the taskbar.

    Hello

    I wonder about your message
    Why?
    because the Toshiba Power Saver was not preinstalled on Equium L20.
    A Toshiba power saver doesn t exist for the L20 series!
    There is nothing on the page of the Toshiba driver too

    Therefore, the GST will not work on this laptop!

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall the Toshiba power saver utility?
    Please do it!

    I had a similar problem of Eve on my laptop satellite.
    I finally solved this problem by reinstalling the energy saving and the utility of Modules common Toshiba.
    The common modules are required to run other programs from Toshiba as for example energy saving.

    Just another clue; especially this program error appears because of a corrupted registry.
    You can use the freeware like CCleaner to clean the registry entries.
