Tecra S5 - disk hard turn sound

Our company recently purchased Toshiba Tecra S5. I noticed that the drive have that ticking sound as if there is a watch inside. Is this normal? Anyone of you have this experience too?

Thanks in advance for your answer

I have a Satellite M40 and the HARD drive makes similar noises.

But the HDD and the laptop works without a problem and I didn't notice any issues.

I guess that it s not a severe case and if the HARD drive is new you should t be worried.

    I started to notice a new peircing sound really annoying ear on the SL500 I received last week.

    It's a very high-pitched sound that hurt my ears and gives me a headache. I first noticed it in class yesterday.

    I checked at home, I hit the pc and put my ears under the fan on the bottom left and I heard noise coming from there.

    It's really boring and high. What should I do? I tried to open the box of the fan, but as something strange square to open fully block there and I cannot close most it's too hard. : '(devrait être réparé lol.) But the noise comes from all versions of the laptop now that I put my ear everywhere, I hear the most when there are openings for air. It's a horrible and the worst noise that it's all coming from the bottom of the laptop and I can hear it when I use it normally.

    Help please! must I send in for repair ?

    Thank you!

  • How do I change or remove the password disk HARD on my Tecra A9

    Hi all

    I looked for where I could, but didn't find any indication at all, so I'm asking here.

    I have a Tecra A9 in need of resettlement, what I like to do for me.
    I have a very good password on the HARD disk which I do not wish to give. So I want to change it or remove it completely.

    Please someone, how do I do? In the BIOS, I don't see that it has been defined, but all what I try, I can not change or get rid of it.

    Maybe I should add that since the original installation of the PC it was years ago and I don't remember not the 'Administrator' password.

    Everything is under control. I know the 'controller' password and have already successfully removed the BIOS password. Smart TPM is disabled.

    BUT what the disk hard drive password?

  • Tecra M3: How to remove a password disk HARD known?

    Greetings, all.
    I am a technician in a large enterprise COMPUTING and have been presented with a Tecra M3 which took the user/HDD to set passwords.
    I need to redistribute the laptop to another employee, but I need to make sure that no game of passwords of the bios.

    Now that I know what is the existing password, I have reset / removed the user password, eliminating 'password =' fast before the start.

    However, I find no docco to tell me how to remove the HARD drive password. I am always prompted with "password HARD drive integrated =" command prompt.

    Can I put it, I change it. I just can't take it off.
    It's probably somewhere simple, I'm not quite familiar with this model.

    I should note here: I KNOW WHAT IS THE EXISTING PASSWORD, so I'm not a suspect type "how to bypass a password disk HARD unknown?". I just need to know how to, or remove it completely if the new user-to-be is not invited.

    Hello

    You should be able to remove the HARD drive KNOWN password in the BIOS. I put t understand why you aren't able to do.

    About your statement, you can set HARD drive password and change the HARD drive password.

    I think you should try to remove the HARD drive as the master password BIOS password.
    Try to use the Enter key to change the password for the drive HARD and don't anything else type.

    In my opinion what one possibility to remove no matter what password and I think he should functions

    Hello
    If I replace the hard drive in my tosh bios indicates no hard disk is installed.
    The new hard drive is MK2016GAP I tried with and without the master/slave relationship.

    Clues?

    Hello

    The MK2016GAP is a 20 GB HARD drive.
    I searched the Internet for the Tecra 9100 and discovered that the phone comes with 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.
    BIOS shouldn't t so no problem with the size of the HARD drive. The size of the HARD drive is certainly supported.

    So I think it's a problem of jumper or you did not connect the disk HARD corectly.
    I put t know how the jumper was set to your old HDD, but you should check the position of the jumper and put it also on the new HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

    Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

    Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
    The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

    I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
    In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

  • Compaq presario v6000 v6409tu disk hard bios self-test fail

    Hello

    Windows xp no my pc compaq v6000 not starting and bluescreen showed a couple of times. I ran the BIOS (phoenix) disk hard diagnosis and the test failed. When I opened my HDD I noticed green rust as deposits into the connector on the hard drive. After cleaning with a brush, computer loaded XP successfully. But an hour later, while I was surfing in mozilla suddenly the mouse pointer started late and showed computer blue screen saying that windows has been closed down to prevent damage.

    I would be grateful if someone can tell me if it's a software problem or hard drive error. If I need to replace my hard drive, what are my options, for example. rpm, capacity, provider? Thank you.

    The only way you could have rusted copper into the connector on the hard drive is if liquid got in there so I am reluctant to try to speculate how much damage has been done. I remove the hard drive and connect it to the outside to another computer and run chkdsk on it to see if the drive itself is bad. As long as there is a problem on the part of connector and the interface with the motherboard cannot really trust the onboard hard drive Diagnostics. You could also get an own another new hard drive adapter.

    If it does not turn on the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with any laptop SATA drive no more than 9.5 mm thick.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

    Above is a good thing. It is slim (7mm) but it will still go into the caddy and connect to the motherboard with the connecting piece. If the hard drive itself is always good, and you replace the connector piece but he always bluescreens, so I would not spend money on a new hard drive. I would say that there was damage to the motherboard.

  • Help to new primary hard drive sounds: HP Pavilion 6620f PC

    I'm a non-technical guy who just replaced the main OEM 1 TB drive with a VelociRaptor 300 GB 10000 RPM hard drive. The installation went well, thanks to the fantastic instructions of the manual of HP and it works fine. Hard Disk Sentinel (free version) tells me that his condition is "perfect."

    Here's my question:

    • the new drive is intermittent but constant and subtle sounds and I don't remember hear them before.
    • Is there a problem or is it only a function of another type of hard drive?

    For any help or suggestion accepted with gratitude! I hope that I worry about anything, but do not have the technical expertise or experience to know!

    Thank you

    Linda

    Hi Linda,.

    Hard disks have different acoustic characteristics according to the manufacturers (and in overall models from the same manufacturer).  In addition, you went with a 1 TB of HARD drive that probably have a rotational speed of 5400 RPM on a faster drive.  If you are hearing just weak 'rattling', I think it's perfectly normal and given the utility disk HARD sees no problem with the drive, I would say that everything is fine.

    Best regards

    It has password always news.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
    If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

    Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
    Please ensure that another password would be removed too.
