Qosmio X500-11Q - How to replace cooling fans?

Hi,
I'd to know if i can replace processor fan. It makes a lot of noise, and overheating.
Any reference or tips please ?

Hey buddy.
In order to get access to the cooling modules, the whole notebook needs to be disassembled. :(
This is very tricky procedure since there are too many screws and parts which need to be removed.
I didnt find any disassembling manuals for download on the Toshiba European driver page I assume such docs are accessible for technicians only so I would no recommend trying to disassemble the notebook without having such guides.
Are you sure that your cooling module is faulty? Maybe there is dust and debris which affects the cooling fan functionality use compressed air spray which would helps to remove the dust in my case it helped

Hi, Rick:
It appears that the manual for the g7-1300 series would also pertain to yours...same hardware specs...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5214430&
There is no manual linked to your notebook's support page, and the one for the g7-1139 is for older hardware (1st generation core processors).

How to replace cooling fan on Tecra A3?

Hi
I need to replace a fan of a Tecra A3. It makes a lot of noise, it appears to be broken.
I was trying to disassemble the laptop but there comes a moment that I can not continue.
Is there a manual or instructions for disassembling the computer?

Ok... it looks like you have begun the disassembling procedure and now you stuck somewhere and cannot remove the other parts... this is bad...
I remember that someone said her in the forum this;
If you don't know how to disassemble the notebook, DON'T touch it...
Ok... this advice is a little bit to late for you ;)
Anyway.. I think you should goggle around for some website:
This should be you last resort...
bye

Qosmio G50-10J: How to replace the Optical Disc Drive (ODD)?

Hello there,
the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 is not working properly anymore, it reads only some movie-DVDs, but sadly no videogameDVDs at all, so I cannot instal any games.
The warranty has already expired too. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the drive myself, if it is then how should I do it, and if by doing it would the laptop be in
serious risk of getting damaged?
I would be very thankful for every tip and every help you guys can give me!!!
Best regards,
a.z.

Hi
In different cases the ODD replacement is not very tricky.
If you want you can check this forum category.
Here you can find some videos how to replace the ODD on different notebook models:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=115
Here is also a nice Youtube channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:

But maybe the ODD laser lens is dirty. In my case I could solve similar issue cleaning the laser lens using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol.
But be careful doing this!

Qosmio X500-15F - How can I modify the DPI?

Hello
With Qosmio X500-15F and graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
I'm using a professional software for jewelry building (Matrix 6.0 based on Rhinoceros 3D 4.0 SR9). When starting it, the software is asking me to set the DPI to normal.
How can I modify the DPI? I already tried different resolution settings. It doesn't change the problem.
Thanks for help

DPI is how many pixels per inch of the LCD. You can't change that.
I think the software needs a specific resolution or LCD size. Try lowering the resolution to 1280x800 or try an external monitor.

Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?

Hello
I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
merci

Hey,
Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :)

G6 1c58ca laptop want to replace cooling fan and copper part

i have probelm with cooling fan being really loud and making way too much vibration that actually numbs my hands while using wireless keyboard on same desk. so, i have taken apart the laptop to clean the cooling fan area with compressed air, and assembled it again, and ran the laptop.
a littble improvement but still same problem.
so i came to comclusion that the hardware part itself is the problem and i want to replace it.
so my question is where can i find or buy the cooling fan and copper colored line that is connected to cooling fan?

looked at amazon but they only had coolingfan part not the copper colored line.

Qosmio X500-11G - How to recover the BIOS?

I have a Qosmio X500-11G and I am thinking of updating the BIOS, the current version is 2.0 and the last one is 2.80. But because of previous heartattacking experiences, I would like first to ensure a way to recover the BIOS in case of a faulse flashing, before proceding.
So, my question is, if the flash of the new BIOS goes wrong, is there any way to recover the old one?
Thanks in advance.

Well. I encounter some problems with the Qosmio's fanctionability which I have nothing else to do to solve it.
To explain what is going on:
First of all when I am not using the computer but it is powered on, some times I get a blue screen.
Second, under the same condition, I am losing the USB ports (they just switch off).
I have tried to uninstall any program or driver that is implicated with the USB ports, I have tried to use or to let the computer on without any USB device connected on it, I have uninstall and reinstall all the drivers, I have removed competely and freshly install the Windows (WIndows 7 Ultimate 64 ORIGINAL), I have checked for viruses, HDD problems, registry problems, temperature problems.... but the problem still remains.
I assume it is not OS or some program mulfanction cause I may get a blue screen or the USB ports to get powered down even on a freshly installed windows without any program on, or even drivers.
I am sure that it is not some power saving plan problem because the only I use is the screen to be turned off (not the HDD).
So I thought to give a last shot with the BIOS update before I contact any TOSHIBA service.
Anyway, sorry for my long talking and If anybody have any ideas (even crazy) about the problems I face, I would mostly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

How to replace hard drive bay fan?

The fan in my G5 tower dual 1.8 Ghz in the top bay - optical/hard drive bay - has started to make noise. I bought a replacement, but I don't see any way to get the old one out. It sits in a little depression in the bay floor, and even if I got out the 3 screws holding it in place, it won't tilt far enough front or back to slide out.
Anyone know of any write-up anywhere about how to replace this fan assembly?

Those two fans (media bay fans) are only given a mention in the "official" service manual.
The drive fan and blower located between the optical and hard drives cannot be
replaced. You must replace the enclosure for these two parts.
Does this mean the "entire" enclosure, as in the tower, or just an enclosure for the fans held to the tray of the media bay?
I don't know.
Maybe someone who has done this can offer advice, but it seems that there is a need for someone to write a manual for that procedure.

My question is where can I find replacement cooling fans for this product?

How to replace a cooling fan.

Recently my toshiba satellite l455d-S5976 laptop started to over heat, and shut down from it. Figuring that simply clearing some gunk from the inside would solve my issues, I stupidly used a can of compressed air to blow into all the vents along the sides and bottom of the laptop. Later I find out that, since I didn't do anything to stop my fan from spinning too fast, I had completely ruined the laptop to the point that it would not stay on for more than 10 minutes without switching off.
My warranty is long since gone, and I don't have 200-500 dollars to pay for repairs that the representitive on the phone told me it would cost. After doing a little bit of research I've found a 25 dollar fan I can order online, and a recommended thermal grease to use with it.
However, this series of laptop seems to be fairly obscure, and the only information I can find about opening it up is to replace the CPU itself. To do that, however, it sais that you would need to completely dissasemble the laptop. I'm sure if push came to shove, I could manage to do so, but no doubt with quite a bit of a headache, but then on other series of Toshiba laptops I understand you can replace the fan/heatsink by simply removing the battery, unscrewing one panel, and replacing the parts from there. Is that possible with this series?
Also, do the fans come together as one unit with a heatsink, or do I have to detach the current fan from my heatsink and just replace the fan itself? If that's the case, I won't be needing to buy any thermal grease.
If it's any help here is the link to the fan and thermal grease I'm considering purchasing.
Fan: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000086560.aspx
Grease: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

I don't know much about your particular laptop, but all laptops I have delt with, I needed to dissasemble the laptop in order to replace the fan.
If you do not think you are up for doing the replacement and don't have the money to take it in to a shop, i recomend you try out a cooling pad. it shoots up air into your computer and cools it down. It is powered by your USB port.
However if you really want to fix it. you should open it up by removing all the screws, opening up the laptop, remember to disconnect any cables, unplug fan, unscrew the fan/heatsink, replace, do everything again in opposite order. For themal paste...I am not sure for your particular model, you would have to open your laptop to find out.

Qosmio X500-Q895S Fan Noise on Right

Qosmio X500-Q895S:
The fan on the right side, above the numeric pad, is making a noise like it is hitting something soft.
Is there a way I can clean the fan or is the fan going bad?
The fan does not make the noise all the time.
The warranty ends on July 26, 2011.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Guys;
Definitely Qosmio :x505 800 series has a serious fan quality problem. Somehow TOSHIBA does not want to see this issue and keep ignoring.
All what we can do is to discuss the same issue here endlessly and helplessly? I bought my Qosmio X505 Q896 a year ago. What a surprising!! Coincidence; just after my warranty has expired then cooling fans started to make extreme rattling noise. I crossed my fingers and try to clean the fans using a canned air; offcourse didn’t work, because this is purely related to the quality of fans used on $3K gaming machine.
I sent my machine to the authorised Toshiba service. They confirmed that fan’s bearing is worn out and need to replace. I am pretty sure that all you know removing the defected fans is not a piece of cake and it should be done by a professional technician. And if you are lucky enough service centers could find the right model spare fan for your machine.
Good luck to all of you and my humble suggestion is next time never ever buy a Toshiba
