Equium A100 getting hot and running slow

Hi
Please excuse me I'm new but i have a Toshiba A100 and lately its been getting really hot and begins to run slow.
I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this?
Also when i look through the bottom i noticed that the small fan is not spinning.
thanks

Hi
Usually, if the notebook was registered on the Toshiba website then the warranty should be valid two years long.
You ask if the fan replacement is difficult.
So I have to say; YES.
Why?
Well, as far as I know you have to disassemble the whole notebook the get the access to the cooling modules
In such case all parts must be removed in the right order and this is not easy and really tricky without any manuals and further notebook experience
I think you should contact the ASP in your country for an notebook check.
This would be the best for your machine
Regards

  • Late 2011 macbook pro getting hot and running slow, any ideas?

    In the last week my macbook pro has been getting very hot (too hot to rest on knees) and sometimes running slow.  It will often cool down after a while but the fan seems to be running more frequently as well.  Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

    Quit all your programs and wait a couple of minutes. It's normal that the fan are running constantly when using games or other high CPU-using programs.

  • My MBP really hot and really slow recently

    Hi,
    My MBP has become really hot and noticably slower recently (within the last 4-5 months). Before I could keep it on my lap for hours watching video using VLC and run a bunch of other applications (like Safari, Firefox, iTERM, Nisus Writer Pro, TextMate, etc.) without it getting unbearable.
    Now, even when it's nearly idle (running just Safari, with Quicksilver in the background) the temperature is around 130 deg. Fahrenheit, give or take 10 degrees. And the usually silent fans continuously give out an evil hiss.
    The only changes I made to the MBP within that time are:
    1. Upgraded to 10.5.6
    2. Added growl (which I turned off for now)
    3. Purchased some software via MacHeist, which includes:
    acorn,
    appshelf
    boinxTV
    CroMag Ralley
    Espresso
    iSale
    Kinemac
    littlesnapper
    picturesque
    SousChef
    Hitlist
    Times
    Wire Tap Studio
    World of Goo, and
    eventbox
    4. Upgraded to Safari 4 beta
    And that's about it. Safari seems very sluggish on the initial launch, giving me the spinning ball, and more often than not, it would freeze and I would have to force quit. But then again, the previous version crashed quite often too, but I seem to remember it to be pretty perky on launch.
    The only things I run in the background and/or login items are:
    1. Font Agent's font activator
    2. Quicksilver
    3. iTunes Helper
    4. Stuffit's MagicMenu
    5. MenuCalendarClock iCal version
    6. Expandrive
    7. Little Snitch
    8. MacFuse
    Also my wireless connection to the USB drive on my AEBS seem to have slowed a lot too. At one point, I was reading and writing to it at almost the same speed as if it were plugged directly into my MBP's USB port. Now, it's around regular ethernet speed (not fast ethernet, nor gigabit, just regular 11Mbps).
    Anyone have any idea? I'm thinking of just reinstalling from the 10.5.2 DVD I have, but that means I have to backup everything and I know I'll lose something during the process, because I have a WD 320GB disk and have used it all up except for about 10GB. It's gonna take a good part of a day (or two) to do the complete reinstall.
    Any help as to why my MBP's so sluggish and hot would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you need more free space on your HDD, for sure. But...
    Let's back up a minute. I just re-read your original post - 130 °F is NOT hot. That's barely warm. Most of us are used to looking at temps in Celsius (at least, I am). 130 °F = ~55 °C. My CPU is at 49 °C right now, 5 minutes after waking the machine up from an overnight sleep in a cool downstairs office. Normal MBP idling temps are in the mid 50s °C (the 130s °F), so you are most definitely not having a temperature issue. Running a heavy CPU load will push the temps into the 70-80 °C range (160-175 °F); fans normally don't spin up past idle speed until the CPU/GPU temps are in the 70s °C (your idle speed is 2000 rpm).
    So, if the fans are making an 'evil hiss' that's not due to temperature.
    To conclude - your initial issues were 1) really hot, 2) noticeably slower and 3) an evil hiss from the fans. So, #1 is a non-issue, since your temps are quite normal. #2 is most likely due to lack of HDD free space (you've run out of room for virtual memory and swap files). That leaves #3 - just how evil is that hiss? What fan speeds does your monitoring software (iStat Pro, for example) report?
    Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? (Insert Install DVD 1 and reboot with the d key pressed.) That will check out your fans, sensors, etc.

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported?  Mac crashed and need to get up and running again.

    Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported?  Mac crashed and need to get up and running again.  Thank you for any info on cs3. mayord

    I believe if you were to ask Adobe Support they would tell you that CS3 is no longer supported by their services, if that is what you are refering to when you say "being supported".  That means they are not likely to offer assistance with you re-establishing it.
    But you can probably re-establish it yourself.  If you need to download it there is a place for that available:
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given that it's only 3 months old and was brand new, you are covered by warranty. You need to take it to whoever you bought it from as they are the servicer of your warranty.
    Good luck!
