• Tecra A8 - cooling fan runs constantly

  Have a new Tecra A8 (PTA83E) with core 2 duo 1.66 and Vista professional. I try some power management settings, but fan still works at low speed, it never stops even if the laptop is idle and cold.

  Is this normal? On my old laptop fan works only if necessary...

  Hello

  Fans are running because the laptop has to be cooled.
  Believe me; the laptop would not cold if the fans would go not constantly at the lower speed.
  I think it is? s better if the fans are running constantly, gently and slowly at low speed as sometimes loudly and jerked.

  What do you think???

• How to replace the on Tecra A3 cooling fan?

  Hello

  I need to replace a fan a Tecra A3. It makes a lot of noise, it seems to be broken.

  I tried to disassemble the laptop, but there comes a time that I can't continue.

  Is there a manual or instructions to disassemble the computer?

  OK... it seems that you started the disassembly procedure and now you stuck somewhere and can not remove other parts... it's bad...
  I remember someone said it in the forum
  If you don't know how to disassemble the laptop, do not touch...

  OK... this advice is a little late for you ;)

  Anyway... I think you should goggle autour for certain Web site:

  This should be last resort...

• Re: Tecra M11 sudennly freezes and the cooling fan starts to run

  My Tecra M11 laptop is running Windows7 and with a broadband dongle Telstra wireless internet lights up and works normally for a period of time.

  Sudennly it freezes completely and 5 seconds later the cooling fan starts to run until I power off using the power button.
  Clues?
  Thank you

  You must understand that on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  I can imagine that some background process starts and increase the use of the CPU at the critical level when the motherboard sensors register at higher temperature of the processor and cooling fan starts to run fast enough.

  Try to check in the Task Manager, if something like that happen.

  I put t know how you have configured your operating system and to applications that run in the background, but also to try to stop treatments that you don't need and change some settings.

• Cooling fan runs constantly on Tecra A3

  I have a Tecra A3 one my fans constantly, past even when idleing and he did it since I got it (about 18 months ago). It works also at a steady pace, and it's like hear Arnold talk - very annoying. Sometimes a (?) of stopp making fans operate for a few seconds, then it starts again, back at the same speed. I've had the computer for repairs and they changed the fan and cleaned the cooling circuit, but this has not done things better, well, well, I got rid of the sound ratteling, but that's it!

  I've tried everything I can think of, I am currently under the computer set on the lowest setting for the speed of the processor and optimized battery cooling using the Power Saver utility, but apparently not helped at all. I also tried to set the low processor speed in BIOS setup, it makes a difference and the fan remained periods of 30 seconds (!), bur the performance of the performance of the computers was horrible with these settings, so I had to go back to the speed of the dynamics processor.

  In what concerns the the temeratures get to temperature about 36 to 37 degrees celsius (95-97 degrees Fahrenheit) for the temperature of HD (using speedfan). If theres no overheating problem (?). This leads me to believe that this could be due to a bug in the software. I currently use a Norwegian install of Windows XP with Service Pack 2, it is a customized installation provided by my University (my computer is a student PC bought through University).

  So, can someone help my makeup the tranquility of my computer like normal computers, sane?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello Stig

  I use laptop Tecra (M1) for years and I can tell you that this model is really one of the quieter laptops, I know but it is certainly not quite quiet and cooling fan runs almost constantly, but slower level. I know that this is irrelevant to your problem, but I'm just saying that most quiet laptop product noises.

  Read your ad I just say you are probably right when you say that it cannot be because of material because the temperature of the laptop is OK and there is no sign of overheating. The fact is that all new laptops are stronger than some older models and Tecra A3 is one of them and unfortunately there is not much to do. As I know nobody has mentioned on any software bug so far. Many bugs are corrected by the BIOS, updates and all I can recommend is to check if the new version of the BIOS is available and see if it helps. Before you start with the update of the BIOS read carefully Instructions how to proceed.

  Good luck!

• Tecra A8-erratic cooling fan

  My new Tecra A8 (PTA race 83rd on Windows XP Professional) initially suffered from the cooling fan CPU refusing to close after starting upwards and go to full breath. Taking advice from this Forum, I downloaded the BIOS 4.50 and it soothed fan. Now, on battery, it remains altogether most of the time, but when I've anchor it to work on my employer's network it hums away never stops. I can put up with the background hum, but I fear that the cooling fan life will be shortened. Is there anything else I can do?

  Thank you

  Hmm sometimes the cooling module runs without any pause because of the different or bad fan that is written into the system Bios table.
  You can try to contact the service provider allowed in your country and to explain the situation with the erratic behavior of fan.

  Perhaps the good DMI string must be written to avoid such behavior strange fan.

  Good luck

• Tecra A2 - what is the difference between the cooling modules Tecra A8?

  Hello

  I have Tecra A2 and my fan is almost 'dead '. So I think to buy a new one.

  And here my question:
  "What are the differences between Fans (P000401740) A2 and A8 (P000463770) for example?"

  Because despite the construction of the "rotor" as well as details of construction of the case they seem to be exactly the same.
  If I buy this A8, it would work with my laptop?

  Kind regards
  Christopher

  Hello

  I m not very well what s the difference between these two modules of cooling but the fact is that the motherboards are just different and I doubt that a cooling module that was not designed specifically for the Tecra A2 series would correspond with A2 motherboard and case.

  That's why I recommend buying a cooling module which has been designed especially for this series!
  I think you can order the Toshiba ASP.

• Dead on Tecra S4-125 cooling fan

  The fan stopped working.
  Message: a problem with the cooling system is detected.

  It seems really dead, with another source of 5V, there will als not turn.
  I have for a new, but it will take about six weeks to arrive.
  In the meantime I put in another (not Toshiba) one, just at 5 volts with an external source.

  If the heat (and danger) are gone, but the message remains and also the speed of the computer is only about 10 percent of normal. For security reasons, I guess.

  I guess that it detects additional entries on the (4-wire) connector, which are now open to all.
  Is there a way to similate the input pins, such as the speed increases?

  In the doc that I have he's talking about a connector 3-pin, but mine is 4 pin.

  Expensive Colly you'll be lucky if anyone here will be able to offer to you answer your question.
  With other words how to use the hardware not compatible on certain hardware platform?

  I put t understand why do you think it is possible to play with this stuff and make some improvisations.
  Let's see what the experts will be posting here.

• Tecra A3-145: cooling fan works very often

  Hello.
  I have a Tecra A3-145 I just bought. During regular browsing that fan comes on about every 15 seconds and remains on for about 30 seconds. Is this normal, especially for just browsing?

  Thanks for your help :)
  Dan

  Hi Dan,.

  The ventilation system on my functions very similar to the one on your Tecra SA30. Fans usually starts in a second or two of the system being initialized and will be off until I have started using the system. Navigation Internet will usually cause fans run slowly at first, but any increase in activity such as downloading, or any use of the activex will cause fans to step up in speed.

  Any use of busy graphics will cause fans to operate intensively, that will be burning CD/DVDs or video rendering.

  It doesn't seem to me as if your Tecra is bad conduct. As stated in the previous post, make sure that the appliance is well ventilated.

  Kind regards

• Tecra M9 and compitable motherboards

  Good day to all
  My Toshiba laptop Tecra M9 PTM91E - 12R features of a faulty video card.
  I replaced this card many times, but it's always get bad after a while.
  My repair shop of my recommended to replace its motherboard in order to get a solution permanent.

  I'm not sure if I am looking for motherboards Compitable with my product

  Can someone tell me please with PART NUMBERS of SPECIFICATIONS AND motherboards that I can buy?

  Thanks in advance for your support

  > Any can advise me please with PART NUMBERS, specifications AND motherboards that I can buy?
  Hmmmm... It is not as easy as you think. Defective parts will be exchanged on mobile units with only identical hardware components. It's a completely different situation than on desktop systems.

  You can visit the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help, but you will see that they will not be able to help you.
  Fact is that Tecra M9 was offered with two hardware platforms. PTM90E and your PTM91E.

  In the end, I must say it's really strange that you have an ongoing problem with GPU defective. When everything is changed on professional way and you take care of the machine and don't forget laptop is cooled properly I don t see the reason why it should be defective over and over again.

  For 3 years I have Tecra A11 and use almost every day for my small business and there is no problem at all. OK I use for typical every day activities such as web or MS Office and not for games or other graphics intensive applications.

  Try to contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for advice. They should have access to the material database of Toshiba and maybe they have good advice for you.

  If possible, send feedback.

• Tecra Z50 A-h-13 - fan works half of the time

  Hello

  I got a new Tecra Z50 A-h-13 (i5, 8 GB RAM).

  Although the processor is underemployed (approx. 20% of capacity), the fan works half of the time!

  When the fan is running the Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows approximately 44% CPU temp. and 36% system temp.

  When the fan works not the Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows similar values!

  What is it good for?

  In my opinion, the fan is not alone. I have not found a possibility to adjust the speed of the fan (PC Health Monitor always shows 45%) or the starting temperature. The current Version of BIOS is installed.

  Is it possible to get a SMART fan control?

  Best regards

  Zvonko

  Hello

  The manual fan control is very limited.
  What you can do is to change some parameters in the Windows power options.
  Go to the control panel? power options
  Select the power plan you use.
  Then choose Advanced settings.

  In the advanced power settings, you will find the option method Cooing and the performance of the processor.
  I recommend you degrade the performance of the max processor at 90-95% and to change the method of passive cooling (both for the battery and plugged)

• Tecra A9 won't boot up until I'm not going to put pressure on certain place

  I have a problem with my PC toshiba laptop tecra a9.
  It does not start normally when I press the power upward button, but in some cases, when I set the pressure at the bottom of the laptop (somewhere in the middle between the RAM and the CPU modules). [I'm pressing here somewhere, but both CPU and motherboard seems to be OK | http://i44.tinypic.com/1zzs0tg.jpg]

  I disassembled the laptop several times, but I couldn't find anything about the cause, and I couldn't find the exact spot, because I didn't want to start while he was not assembled back.
  When I turn on my laptop, the screen remains black, but HARD DRIVE control custom light normally and the CPU fan crazy at maximum speed until I turn the laptop off ("beep coming, but it's a pretty strange as sound, beep dying")
  (don't know how to describe it, it's like I would have cut the power of the signal sound emitor and level wither away within 2 seconds).

  However, if I do not put pressure at this place and it presents itself, it starts perfectly and resist not stable I turn it off. I can also suspend-to-ram, but if I close the lid, im unable to exert pressure on this spot when I open the lid.
  So I can't suspend, close the lid, and then recover.

  I think that this could be solved somehow avoid something in post-test or maybe theres a sensor (idk). I heard on the internet that it could be linked to the power supply inside the laptop which is not very well connected
  [My symptoms are very similar as in this case | http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/01/02/toshiba-tecra-te2100-boot-problem/comment-page-20/]

  Oh I forgot, I have this problem since the time when my daughter down my laptop on the ground of couch - like fall of 40cm (this is why I believe that some might contact had been damaged or something).
  Thanks for any response or assistance.

  Hello

  > Oh I forgot, I have this problem since the time when my daughter down my laptop on the ground of couch - like fall of 40cm (this is why I believe that some might contact had been damaged or something).

  It is difficult to tell what's exactly or what part is exactly.

  I don't see any details that could be wrong on the picture

  But the region on the motherboard that you have marked showing the CPU.

  Maybe the CPU is not correctly connected to the plug. This could be due to the decline.

  Perhaps it would be useful to remove the cooling module and CPU and check it again

• Tecra A11 - LED backlight problem

  I have great pain in my eyes after a day of working with Tecra A11 BIOS V1.7 = BIOS update. Wenn I bought it there was 1.4 BIOS the same problem with the eyes, LED backlight killing my eyes, a lot of pain after a day's work. V1.5 and 1.6 are much better (no pain) but new BIOS 1.7 is the same eye-killer than 1.4.

  Who will help me? Users of this forum?

  I want the people of Toshiba to help me, they sell the product ready 1/2, absolutely bad work! No contacts to Toshiba just this forum. Toshiba is interested in my problem with its Tecra A11 laptop bad and stupid BIOS updates? I'm really angry, never had such problems with laptop so much. So excuse my emoutions that I'm starting to hate Toshiba for the very bad experience with this Tecra A11. Why some users of this forum should help me? I paid a lot of money to Toshiba, so I want that people of the Toshiba to tell me what they do in their BIOS updates, silly kill my eyes with LCD backlighting. How many BIOS updates will be needed to make the Tecra A11 work correctly for 800 EUROS? I'll never buy anything from Toshiba.

  Hi dusanpov,

  First of all: cool! Nobody is perfect and that these things can happen that something does not work correctly.

  I put t know what problems you have with LED backlight, but a more detailed description would be nice. A friend of me also uses the Tecra A11 but it didn t tell me questions so I think this laptop works very well.

  And I think that it of normal that there is no contact with Toshiba and you won't get any help from Toshiba because you will need to contact a * authorized service provider *. If you have a problem with your laptop, connect with these guys here. They can repair the laptop and it's free if your laptop is under warranty. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them.
  Check this box!

  Finally, and especially if you have noticed that with an older version of BIOS, that everything works correctly, you can get this older version of a service as well. As you can see, it might be useful to communicate with these guys here.

  If you have any other questions, just after again! :)

• Re: Tecra M5 PTM51E - CPU upgrade question

  Hi, I have Tecra M5 PTM51E model with processor Yonah T2600 (2.16 ghz, 667fsb) core duo, a few days ago that I just replaced the processor with core 2 duo - Merom T7400 (2.16 ghz, fsb667) and everything works almost well... the processor is correctly recognized, I was able to install win7 64 bit.

  The only problem I have is the fan speed, it goes full speed laptop to stop, I have the latest BIOS 3.70, Toshiba Power Saver - no matter what I put the fan goes 100% speed, temperatures are ok, HWmonitor presents the 28-30 C idle and 60 in stress and fan was cleaned up during the replacement of the central processing unit.

  I guess I need media diagnosis/service of toshiba to set correct values for the speed of the fan on the processor?

  I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

  > I upgraded the CPU. It works very well outside the CPU fan runs constantly at 100%

  You have installed a stronger CPU that is faster and produces more heat dissipation.
  It s nothing unusual that your fan runs faster.
  The cooling module must run more quickly to make sure that the CPU would be cooled properly.

• Tecra M9 PTM91E - BIOS update 2.0?

  Hey everybody!

  I have the following problem: I bought Tecra M9 PTM91E.

  After a year of successful use of the laptop, something happened with my video card or the motherboard.
  He has been replaced in the service guarantee, but after that the cooler began to work very hard.
  The says that it's because of the new BIOS version 2.0.
  I cheked just the latest version of the BIOS on toshiba.co.uk and found that it is 1.9 for Tecra M9 PTM91E.

  Anyone can comment that? Y at - it version superior oficial BIOS as 1.9?
  Must the strongest cooler work after replacement card mother and update the BIOS?

  Thank you in advance,
  Dmitri

  It's strange. Maybe the wrong motherboard was installed or was flashed the wrong BIOS.

  The fan changes speed? Or is it the same speed all the time?
