L675 cooling system problem

Have gotten popup cooling system problem turn off computer and service twice now
2 months ago turn it off went away. Again the other day kept popping up even after restart but next
day and since no sign of it pc monitor looks fine CPU temp and fan speed. Seemed to popup when
CPU temp showed 49% pop up then fan would start. Good for a while then the same.
No dust around fan or heatsink. Could a bios up date fix checked there is one foe my system, or does anyone have another fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you still having the overheating pop-up? I have been receiving the same annoying error for the past 3 weeks (model L675 S7049). Seeing that I am vigilant about not blocking vents and have inspected and cleaned cooling fins and fan blades, I suspect other issues...heat sensor problem, etc. I did break down today and upgraded to BIOS vers 1.7, up from 1.3. There was a mention of a fan error under ver 1.4 don't know this in anyway is related, but worth a try.

Qosmio G20-106 cooling system problem

I bought Qosmio G20-106 with XP Media Center and other cool stuff in Vienna a few days ago, and brought it home (Sarajevo, Bosnia&Herzegovina) yesterday and turned it on for the first time. It worked perfectly for first ten hours. After that I constantly get the message about "Cooling system problem" and to repair my notebook, and click OK.
My CPU temperature is 57C most of the time, and it raises up to 70-80C max. I also hear cooling fans running from time to time.
The system sometime slows down, but most of the time it works fine and fast.
Please give me some advice what should i do, cause I cannot take it back to Vienna just for this!
Thank you!

Hello Dario
I am very often on this forum but I have never heard about this problem on Qosmio notebook. I really dont know why this happen. Please check this page http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true .
There you can find an Authorized service partner in Sarajevo. Try to contact them and explain this issue with your Qosmio. I hope that they can help you. If not you must exchange it someday by dealer where you bought it.
If you find out more about this problem please let me know why this happen. I am very interested about that.
Good luck!

'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

Hi all,
Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
Thanks

In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

A problem with the cooling system has been detected

I bought a new computer not to long ago, I've had it for almost a month now. It runs fine, and I've had no problems until not too long ago. I was playing a game, and I got a random error message: "A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immdiately, and return it for service." I don't understand how or why this came up, and I don't have any money to return it for any type of repairs. After I got this message, I left my computer off for about an hour. All seems well so far. Any suggestions?

What laptop do you have?

A problem with your cooling system has been detected.

I just started getting an error message saying my cooling system is not working and I need to shut down my computer immediately. I have a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5382 (part no. PSKFWU-002002)
This message just began showing up a day ago, the same day I upgraded from Windows 8 to the 8.1 update. The laptop does get very hot fairly quickly.
Don't know if it's remotely related, but I also get an error when trying to open certain programs that the Msvcp90.dll file is Not Found.
I just got the laptop on May of 2013, and have had a few problems with it so far but this is the first with the cooling system.

Satellite P500-12D - A problem with the cooling system has been detected

hi there everyone,
I have bought a Satellite P500-12D which was a retail return. When I start it up it runs a couple of mins and then this comes up on the screen:
Warning: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. please turn off the computer immediately and return it for service.
In the toshiba health monitor the cpu is under 50% temp and if it goes much above that the cooling fan comes on and lowers it back down and the fan stops again, I have noticed that only the r/h fan runs to cool the cpu, should both them come on together? Could it be a software problem?
Tthe unit is new without even the plastic off the screen surround or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be very appreciated, gary

The fact that the pc is a retail return would indicate that there was a fault at day one and the customer returned it. At some point the retailer turned it on and since it appeared to work re-sold it.
This is the cooling/fan report from a P500 produced by pc wizard 2010 - free from cpuid.com. Perhaps a comparison against the faulty laptop will point to the problem

Qosmio G20 error message: problem with cooling system has been detected

I am attempting to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, so no longer in warranty).
The error message is: Warning: A problem with the cooling system has been detected.
I have managed to remove the outer case and observe the machine working, and basically one of the fans is not operating at all. The fan which is nearest to the power connector seems to be working fine (it seems to spin quite a lot, dont know if this is normal), it is the other fan which does not seem to move at all.
When I reattached the case and switched the machine on I noticed after a few minutes that the heatsink vent of the working fan got quite warm, whereas the vent of the non-working fan stayed cool.
I have cleaned the fan of dust and have also altered the BIOS to battery mode from high performance mode, but still the problem exists.
I would be grateful if someone could advise whether the problem is the fan or something else.
If the fan is the problem, where can I buy one from (I live in the UK)?

Hi
In my opinion there could be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
Usually this should be done by an authorized service provider (ASP) in your country.
The technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the cooling module and CPU.
Therefore contact the ASP in your country and ask for the further handling!!!
By the way; you can purchase the cooling module also from the ASP!!!
Good luck

Qosmio G10-133: Cooling module problem - message appears

I have recently received a message saying that there is a problem with the cooling system. The fan was making a very rough noise, now it is very quiet. I assume that I am in need of a Cooling Module? Can any one advise of the part number, the best place to buy a,d an approx. cost. Also if my diagnosis is correct.
Cheers

Hi All,
I have the same overheating problem with Qosmio F10 message saying that I should return the computer for service. Well, I did. They replaced the fan and the problem continues. I would be grateful for any detailed information from anyone who has experienced this problem and had it rectified (by themselves or via service). I have spent about ten hours on internet ensuring that I have updated BIOS, tv tuner driver etc.etc.etc - I have done everything suggested on this and other sites (despite the number of people who are having a problem with it, the problem does not appear to exist for Intel or Toshiba). Many thanks in advance.

G5 2.5 to 2.0 conversion to remove liquid cooling system

I've had a g5 2.5 with liquid cooling working well for a while now, but now doesn't boot into OSX. So I found the problem being a blockage in the LCS. While taking a part the death cooling unit I accidentally broke one of the cooling blocks and I've already tried everything from high end epoxy to jb weld to fix it with no luck. Looked into replacing it with another comp or parts and it just seems to expensive to replace just for one cooling block. So hear is my question, is it possible to replace the 2.5 g5 with a 2.0? I have the dual 2.5 from 2004 and wondered if the logic board is able to work with the 2.0 from 2004? I like the 2.0 g5 because it has no LCS, just heatsinks or could I use the heatsinks from the 2.0 on a 2.5? I really love my g5 and don't want to scrap it just yet.

Hello,
Sorry to hear this, but did you try Amazon or eBay yet? You should look into it. You might be able to find someone with a busted leaking cooling system, but the block is still good. =) Wish you luck.
Regards.

2.7 GHz PowerMac done in by leaking cooling system. THE REST OF THE STORY

This is the story of what happened when my PowerMac went down for the count. I'm posting it because Apple did a such stellar job at resolving a thorny service problem.
I had a Dual 2.7 GHz PowerMac G5 (purchased back in November 2005) that was a major headache all this year. It quit working entirely in March after months of crashes, corrupted drives, and loudly spinning fans. As I was putting the Mac into a box to take it to the local Apple Store for troubleshooting, I noticed a small puddle of what turned out to be coolant. I'd heard the cooling systems on these Macs wasn't very reliable and costly to fix, so I figured it would have to be trashed. Sure enough, when I got to the Apple Store, it was still leaking and the Genius said it would cost upwards of $1000 to fix.
I wasn't happy to hear that, but what could i do? It was out of warranty.
I bought a new 27-inch iMac as a replacement and went back to work. While on the way, I started wondering if I could fix the Mac myself as a hobby project. At work, I posted a question on Apple's Discussions describing what had happened to the Mac and got these replies:
+You should have posted - and looked - on the PowerMac G5 forum, and read up on theG5 Coolant Leak report, and how to deal with it. So check out the Discussion and http://www.xlr8yourmac.com report on the issue (under Systems).+
+http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/G5coolantleaks.html+
and
+Read the xclr8yourmac link and call Apple Customer Service. They replace a lot of leakers with new MacPros if you say there is a fire or electrocution hazard. Read and learn.+
So I checked out the xlr8yourmac site and was shocked. I had no idea how much leaking had occurred, but after seeing photos of the damage to other Macs, the possibility of mine having caught fire while unattended gave me the willies because I'd been leaving my Mac running during the day so the Tools app could run thorough tests.
I called Apple support and told the rep how upset I was over a potential safety problem that was not mentioned on the Support website. He transferred me to Customer Relations where that rep made arrangements for me to get the Mac serviced.
I returned the iMac and gave them the G5 for repair. Two weeks later, I got the Mac back. They had replaced the rear exhaust fans and cable, the power supply, SuperDrive, 2.7 GHz multiprocessor, power supply cover, and the computer enclosure.
In short, they gave me back a resurrected G5 for no charge!
And that was a happy ending that lasted all of five months, during which the fans slowly increased in volume and CPU temps crept higher.
Last month everything went weird. The Mac would go to sleep in the middle of file transfers, sometimes it would hang on restart, and other faults. I called Apple Tech Support and set up a service appointment at the Apple Store.
A week later, I had shelled out $250 for a replacment video card (which seemed strange because video had been about the only thing that hadn't been malfunctioning!) and, fingers crossed, took the Mac home.
It ran worse after the service than before! Fans were screaming, it would crash at the Finder or hang after restart, often wouldn't recognize the Leopard DVD, etc. (But hey, at least video still worked!)
I was getting frustrated at this point, so I called Apple again and worked with a higher echelon tech who told me to reset the PMU switch. It seemed to work, the fans quieted and the machine restarted without hanging. But it seemed dog slow, so I checked Activity and found that one of the CPUs wasn't working.
Another call to Apple where the really helpful tech said it was probably a logic board (the one component that hadn't been replaced already!) and that I should take it in so they could determine if that was the problem. If it was, he would see about tying the repair to the previous service since it was likely that the logic board had been damaged by the coolant leak.
I took it in for repair last Saturday, keeping fingers crossed that this time they'd fix the machine. On Friday, I got a call from them saying that they had "stripped some screws" while performing the service, so the computer couldn't be reassembled. At first I was stunned by the news--now what?!
It got better: As compensation, they replaced my 5-year-old Dual 2.7 GHz PowerMac G5 with a brand new 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Mac Pro G5! Gotta hand it to Apple, they did what it took to resolve a maddening problem with one of their products in a way that left me feeling I'd been treated fairly.

Wow! Can't believe they'd give you a new machine on that 5 year old paper weight! Though it was a design flaw. Did you have Apple Care? Just wondering in case mine does it.
I've never had any trouble with my dual 2.5, bought it new in early '05 when the 2.7 came out. I've added memory and larger drives. I've had a problem with a dvd drive I put in it. It would not release the disc on the first eject, if it was a DVD. It's definitely the drive since I now have it in a different machine and it does the same problem. Now I have a Dual Layer burner from a 2.3 dual core.
Other problem I've had with it was a Radeon 9200 card I put in it to get a third display never worked right. I had ATI replace it at least twice and I think it's just a design flaw with the G5. It would stutter on the connected display, slow response time and if iTunes was running the sound would pop.
Removing the card fixed it so the card is back in the box. I'm guessing it would work fine in a G4. But yeah, all problems with 3rd party stuff.
Other than that, no cooling problems or anything else.
I did some speed tests between my 2.3 DC and the 2.5 and the 2.5 is noticeably faster. About a gigaflop. Faster memory on the 2.3 and graphics but slower processor and system bus.
I'm guessing the 4 fastest G5's are the Quad 2.5, then the Dual 2.7, Dual 2.5, then 2.3 DC.

Cooling system

I have a Toshiba L755D - S5204. Today I turned it on and there was only a black screen. So I restarted it. After that I received a message that said "A problem with the cooling system has been detected" and to turn the computer off. I could hear the fans starting and stopping over and over. Also the screen was darkened. So can anyone tell me what I should do?
Solved!

My iPad 3 gets hot will there be a ipad4 with a cooling system

The ipad3 has a obvious problem with the a5x Chip that produces extensive heat , but I was just wondering if apples next ipad4 will have a cooling system or a chip that is more powerful that doesn't consum as much energy that is cooler. I also want to know if apple will give me a full refunde and if all new iPads have the problems or is it just my iPad

An optional water cooled jacket will be released later in the year , for those owners overtly concerned by their ipad contributing to global warming........ price will be £699..
