Intel SpeedStep and Fan not working

Hello,
I have an older Toshiba laptop: Satellite M30 (PSM30C-7100K). A couple of years ago I had replaced the motherboard but have not noticed until now that the fan is never on and that the CPU is always stuck at 600MHz (Capable of 1.6GHz). I have tried the following with no results:
- Testing the fan which works when tested on another motherboard
- Using the windows PC diagnostic utility - which shows everything as PASS
- I made sure that the DMI information was updated on the motherboard (Satellite M30) and now my restore DVD works
- I have the latest BIOS update 1.7
- I have tried all the BIOS setting for the speedstep functions (Always High, Dynamically Switchable etc.)
- I have tried CPU-Z and PRIME 95 to load and monitor the CPU frequency - with no increase in frequency
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions, since I think I have exhausted all the standard options?
Does anyone have any info on the PC diag (DOS based) utility that can be used via a serial cable to test this toshiba motherboard? I found this as a troubleshooting option in the service manual I found on the internet.
Are the motherboard schematics available? This unit is old so it might be an option from the Toshiba side.
Any feedback or advice is welcome.
Thank you in advance!

Hi! Here's a program I use. Please be careful down loading software programs from the internet. I try hard to make sure I post a healthy site. There is a new thing out there. It's called a down load manager. It's showing up every where. I have tried to get help here on the forum to inform our members. Down load manager will put all kinds of crap on your PC. I post my little warning every chance I get. So far I haven't gotten any response from members or staff. I just keep giving the warning.

Dokie!!
PS When down loading software, always save it before running it. That way you should see if your down loading some thing different than you intended If you want to help me get staff's attention, it would be apreciated. Attached screen shots tell the story. Some times I just shake my head and wonder why no one listens to Dokie!!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

Ideapad s10-3s blank screen and fan not working

Hi guys im new to this forum, i stumbled upon the community as i recently have had a problem with my sisters netbook and looking for a solution on the net. Basically the netbook powers on, the first 3 lights come on, the power, battery and screen thing (watever that one is) however the hdd light doesnt, after around 3 seconds the fan stops whirring, but the hard drive is on, well sounds like its doing something. there is a blank screen.

Hello musmaan and welcome to community,
As I understand you have no display issue with your netbook.
Kindly take out the battery and connect the power adapter then check if the display comes.
If the issue persist then it could be system board issue.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Try an SMC Reset. (System Management Controller)
Shutdown>unplug from power for ten minutes>press and hold in the power button for ten seconds>startup again.
Also try a PRAM Reset. (Parameter RAM)
Shutdown. At the bootup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, wait for two more chimes, total three, then let go of all keys to finish booting,
If this doesn't do it, run the Hardware Test in Extended

X61 Speedstep and Fan problems

I have just got my X61 for a few days, some problems immediately concern me.
The first thing I noticed after running it for a few hours was that, the fan never stopped spinning! My machine comes with a Core 2 Duo T7500 2.20Ghz CPU. I have already set "Optimize fan control" to "Balance all parameters" and the fan never stops, even when the machine is in idle with the lowest CPU speed.
I did a search on forum.thinkpads.com and I found that many people have the same problem with their X61 and X61s too. The general solution is to turn to a program called tpfancontrol written by one of the forum members there. The program allows us to override BIOS fan control and set thredshold for when the fan kicks in. It works, but the problem is that even at the lowest fan setting allowed by the program, namely "1" ("0" is off), the fan is spinning at 3207 rpm and that is quite noisy.
I am a graduate student and I spend most of my time in my office (shared with other people) and in the library. The level of fan noise this machine generates will certainly disturb me and my colleages.
The second problem is about speedstep. Since I want to prevent the fan from spinning all the time, the first thing I did was to try to reduce the heat output when I am just serfing around and checking email. I installed the latest version of CPU-Z to monitor my CPU clock. I noticed that setting the CPU speed to "low" and "lowest" have no difference. Both setting clock my CPU speed to around 1596.5 MHz, with a multiplier of 8.0 and Bus speed 199.6 MHz. However, if I set CPU speed to "adaptive", my CPU can be clocked as low as 1197.5MHz, with a multiplier of 6.0 and Bus speed 199.6 MHz when it is in idle. Why can't I lower the multiplier to 6.0 and achieve a clock speed of 1197.5 MHz when I set the speed mode to "low" or "lowest" (and why are the two modes the same?)
I have already downloaded the latest drivers and all the thinkvantage updates. My questions and suggestions are:
(1) What is happening in speedstep? Why "low" and "lowest" are the same? And why "adaptive" can achieve a clock speed and multiplier lower than "lowest"?
(2) Fan problem, as noted above. It is a pity that we have to turn to a 3rd party program to solve the fan noise problem. Lenovo should add more flexible fan control functions to Power Manager.
(3) How can I set my fan to run at a speed between off and 3207 rpm? I am using tpfancontrol to set my fan level to "1" when the CPU temperature reaches 55C, and off below that. What happens is that: 0 rpm -> heat builds up -> 55C, 3207 rpm -> after 10 seconds, cooled down -> 0 rpm -> heat builds up -> 55C, 3207 rpm ...and so on. The 3207 rpm is certainly no a pleasant sound in a quiet room.

If you have read my post on TPF you should know that I have already tried NHC and no it doesn't work. It can't even recognize the correct clock speed due to the fact that it cannot recognize the change in Bus Speed.
No there is no any Intel utility to control the speedstep. Power manager is a Lenovo Thinkvantage program and as I reported above, the "low" and "lowest" seem to be exactly the same, neither of them can reduce the multiplier to 6.
The reason why I am posting here, after getting no reply at TPF, is that apparently I have tried all the popular 3rd party softwares and none of them can solve my problems. It seems to me that the speedstep and fan problems require a BIOS update or an update to the power manager (or even a fan upgrade?), which I believe is something beyong the reach of a normal thinkpad user. Since this is the official forum of Lenovo, I am hoping that someone from Lenovo can answer my question and provide official solution, rather than asking me to try yet another 3rd party software that doesn't solve my problem.
At least I would expect a person from Lenovo can explain to me why the "low" setting seems exactly the same as the "lowest" setting, if it is not bugged.

Intel RST Service is Not Working

Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me with this error message that I noticed on my Toshiba laptop.
Yesterday, when I was editing a video (less than 2 GB in size), my laptop just shut down without any warning. I didn't have any other applications running, nor web browsers open, except Windows Live Movie Maker.
As I was saving the edited video, I could hear the fan inside the laptop blowing really fast and the bottom of the laptop was quite warm (not hot).
I thought that my harddrive crashed. After the laptop shut down, I waited for about half hour before turning it back on. Thankfully it rebooted normally and it seems to be working ok. However, I noticed that in the system tray (see image to the left), there was an error message indicating "Intel RST Service is Not Working"
I looked online, as well as on this forum, to see if there were any solutions I could find. And I hope I can get this resolved before the issue escalates. I could not find the exact cause of the error, but the only solution I could find was to reinstall the Intel RST driver. Before I do so, I wanted to just confirm if this is indeed what I should do.
Can you please confirm that I should reinstall the Intel RST driver? If so, which one is the correct driver. I found the Intel Download Centre website below. Do I download the driver that reads "RAID: Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Intel® NUC" dated "12/2/2014" version "13.5.0.1056"?
My laptop details are as follows:
Model: Toshiba Satellite L500
Processor: Intel Core i3 CPU
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Should you require any further information, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance!

Installed iOS7 update and now wifi and Bluetooth not working

My daughters 4s has never skipped a beat - perfectly reliable. Just updated iOS7 with update and now both wifi and Bluetooth not working. Wifi is greyed out and when you go into bluetooth the busy twirly symbol is constantly going round. Can someone please help me as I'm pulling my hair out! My other Daughters iphone 4s is fins BUT she has not downloaded latest update - and she won't until this is resolved. If needs be I will take to store and DEMAND for it to be sorted out - either by repair or replacement as it is wholly a seemingly software issue and nothing wrong with the phone.
Gutted really as I am a huge Apple fan and customer with ipods, phones, iMac & iPads all around. If this is not resolved I fear an Apple drought may begin!

..... ty for the link, however this is the first result googling the issue..... of course it did not work....
it is really unbelivable that plenty 4s devices suffered the wifi troubleshooting just after upgrading to ios7, and finally.... i should burn wifi and bluthoot, and another hardware problems should cause % battery value is disappeared....
all this in one shot....
firmaware is not well working or is somebody bombing our devices to force us to switch to newest?

HP ProBook 5220m Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in

Hi,
Any one have this issue?
HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

Horrible fps problems, fans not working

Hi,
Whenever I play League of Legends on my 15 inch retina macbook pro, the game starts out smoothly with a consistent 60 fps. However, after a certain period of time, the fps severely drops to about 5. It never used to do this, but now it happens consistently. Also, the fans have not turned on in months; they used to always be on whenever I played League, but they seem to never turn on anymore. Could the fps problem be related to the fan not working? Please help, and thanks!

2540p fan not working

Hi,I bougth netbook hp 2540p windows 7 instaled,and have a problem with cooling fan.The fan not working on the battery ,working connected to power adapter all the time.have you any suggestions how to fix it.thx
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Windows 7 or Windows 8? You are likely set to passive cooling in power management while on battery which means the laptop will do almost anything rather than kick on the fan while on battery. It will slow the processor instead. If you shift to active cooling your battery will get eaten up very fast. In short, I think your system is probably fine and messing with it does not make any sense. However, here is some more information on passive vs. active cooling:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
