Satellite A100-773 - cooling fans are not spinning

Hello,
My notebook fans are not spinning at all,
I installed speed fan and it does not even recognize the fans, the temperatures are 60-70 degrees, but when I stressed the laptop to 80 degrees the "emergency" fan start very low until it went down from 80.
Does it have to be hardware problem or because the fan did actually work it might be software issue? Can someone guide me where to look?
Thx in advanced
Yoni

You should definitely check the options in the Toshiba power saver (if preinstalled and available on you notebook).
But to be honest I dont see any serious problems with your notebook.
If your notebook doesnt overheat then the fans work fine.
With overheating I mean a suddenly shut downs. In such case the notebook would shut down to prevent the hardware from damage.
But it looks like your notebook runs ok However, you could check if an BIOS update (if available) would increase the fans performance and sensibility.
Bye

  • How many cooling fans are in 13" MacBook Pro retina?

    I just got a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro with retina display and I'm wondering how many cooling fans are in the machine. I've noticed when I use iTunes to play music/movies or use the iTunes visualizer, it gets hot. I've seen the videos on the retinas and I've notived that the 15" model  has two and I can't find any videos or pictures indicating whether the 13" has one or two. I know that the openings on the side are to bring in air and then pushes it out where the screen and the keyboard meet. I notice a lot of hot air coming out more towards the right of the machine than the left. I had a mid 2012 non-retina Pro but I had it replaced as it had too many issues and I know when I used it, it didn't get as hot when I did this stuff. I'm just making sure in case it's an issue, even thought I got this new MacBook on Monday 6/9/14. I'm also guessing it heats up faster since its a smaller machine and the components are a lot closer. And I understand that playing games or doing something that requires a lot of processing or graphics power will cause the machine to heat up since it's requiring so much from the machine. Like I said, I want to avoid having issues with this one. My last MacBook had three logic boards, two hard drives, hard drive cable, hard drive bracket, and clam shell replaced in less than a year of purchase in September 2013. When the hard drive crashed last week for no apparent reason last week, I took it to Apple on Monday this week and they finally made the choice to replace it completely and I upgraded to a retina just by paying the difference.

    This is my mac's info. I got it as a gift from australia. Initial 3 months it gave me a superb service, but recently it's having a major overheating issue,it shoots up up to 87 degrees. Is it possible that any other components are damaged somehow? Usually the temperature shoots up while I play online streamings.

    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • Cooling fan is not operating properly.

    I am using hp pavilion dv6 3123 tx with windows 7 ultimate os installed. I recently updated the bios via hp support assistant  and i don't know whether the bios is updated or not and after two  days ,I got a message while booting the system that the cooling fan is  not operating properly and it also shows the error message code (90b). Is it safe to use the laptop with a external cooler pad and my laptop is not getting heated too much while using with the cooler pad but before updating the bios too my laptop used to get overheated and it took time to boot. Before updating too i got blank screen while booting up and while playing games it  hung too.
    I don't know the error message occured was due to updation of bios or not and i also need to know can i use my laptop for final year project work with external cooler pad.can i give my laptop for service.

    Hi
    Please find the link given below might help you to resolve your issue. In case the issue still persits kindly request you to call HP Technical support check the warranty and get the Fan replaced.

  • Cooling fan is not working on Satellite Pro A300

    Hi Everyone
    I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, as their CPU Cooling Fan had stopped working even during POST bootup and the laptop would overheat and shutdown. So I thought it could one of three things:
    # Fan is clogged with dust or dirt
    # Fan bearing has failed
    # Fan power cable was loose
    So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/heatsink using compressed air and checked the power connection which was solid, but this did not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and heatsink with another one that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a fault motherboard because of the random bios boot-up password bug (out of warranty) but still no joy.
    I am beginning to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather the motherboards cpu temperature sensor(s) that control the fan activation has failed.
    Am I correct, in thinking that this is basically, irreparable without specialised tools and my friend will have content themselves with turning the system off every hourish or is there something else I am overlooking?
    Thank you, for any help.

    Hello
    Im not a technician but for me it sounds like that fan connector is malfunctioning if you have already replaced the fan and therefore it would be necessary to replace the mainboard
    Thats everything what I can say about this Have a look for second mainboard or notebook where you can get a cheap mainboard. Maybe it works. :)

  • Cooling fan is not working - How to disasemble Satellite L850

    How do you strip a Satellite L850 so as to get to the cooling fan and replace it. The cooling fan became noisy then stopped working and now the laptop is shutting down as it gets too hot.
    It is out of Warranty now as well.

    Hi
    Cooling fan replacement is pretty complicated procedure. Whole notebook must be disassembled and, as you probably know, it should be done by authorized personal only.
    Fact is that notebook disassembling procedure must be done by specific order to avoid some damage. Many plastic parts have small plastic holders and if you dont know how to remove certain part can be broken. The whole disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document and cannot be downloaded.
    What to say at this point? You can try to disassemble your machine but you will do this on your own risk. If you dont have experience with this I think it is not so good idea.
    Do you know someone who can help you with this?

  • Satellite A100-773: DVD/CD drive does not recognise CDs

    Hello Friends,
    I have Sattelite A100-773.
    When I turned it on today it did not recognise any CDs anymore. It however recognises DVDs and also can Burn CDs with Nero.
    As soon as I put in a CD it says (in German) something like "Access denied, Function not allowed".
    It is a mystery to me what has happened. Until yesterday it was perfect. Now the same CDs (and I have tried 20) wouldn' work anymore.
    I have tried system recovery to a previous point in time, but it does not help. In the Hardware manager tells me that everything is allright.
    Do you have any idea what it can be?
    Thanks a lot
    Ognian

    Hi
    In such case its not easy to say why it happens.
    Generally if the drive is not able to read any medias either the hardware malfunctions or the CD or DVD is not compatible and supported.
    But let us hope that the hardware is not corrupted.
    Try to remove the drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
    After the reboot the OS should recognise the drive again and should load the driver. Then you could try to test the drive again.
    I found also a very great Microsoft document about:
    How to troubleshoot issues that occur when you write data to a CD-R or CD-RW optical disc in Windows XP
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324129
    and this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315350/
    The other possibility is to use the Recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

  • Satellite A100-773 - How to install Ethernet Controller driver?

    Hi
    i reinstalled Win Xp Prof on my Satelite A100-773 (PSAA9E) and have a problem with the Ethernet Controller. In the device manager the controller is marked with a yellow '?'.
    I use this driver http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=DE&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&selSho rtMod=444&language=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupl oad=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=all Machines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=12&s electedLanguage=17&type=all&page=2&ID=55434&OSID=1 0&driverLanguage=42
    install it over the device manager and right click on ethernetcontroller --- driver install. here comes the message that no driver is found (in the right!!! folder) an nothing can be insatlled...
    I also delete ethernet controller, so that windows automatic reseacht for it, but nothing work.
    I don't knwo what I can do
    PS: Chipset Utilitys are installed

    Hi
    Are you sure thats the Ethernet controller and not the WLAN card? Ethernet controller in device manager can mean both
    Normally you can get all drivers on the Toshiba website. Furhtermore you should try to install the drivers manual via advanced installation routine. If you right click on the ethernet controller and choose update driver. In next windows choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
    By the way: Why you dont use the Toshiba recovery disk? There are already all drivers preinstalled. :)

  • On my Satellite P100-347 cooling fan runs all the time

    Hi,
    I think I might have a problem with fan on my Satellite P100-347. It seems to be continually working at all times and is a lot louder than when I purchased the computer. Initially it used to just switch off and on when required, I think this might now be wrong.
    Please help.

    Hi Beata
    I agree with Sanremo suggestions; its not known to me how old your notebook is but from time to time its necessary to clean the cooling fans. The dust and debris inside the notebook could prevent the cooling modules from properly working!
    The properly fresh air circulation is also very important. Be sure that there is enough free space around the notebook. Do not use the notebook on the knees or in the bed. In such case the notebook cannot be cooled in the right way and the high temperature can damage some parts like GPU on the board.
    But if you think there is an serious hardware problem you should contact the authorized service provider in your country.
    Good luck and greetings to Poland ;)

  • GT80 Titan Cooling Fans are on frequently than before

    I just purchased the new 18 inch Titan and love it. However, I just started noticing the that the fans that use to come on infrequently and very quiet are now coming on more frequently. I have a cooling fan that sits underneath laptop there is nothing blocking or constricting the air ways. The laptop is turned off longer as I returned to a longer work day, and the temp in the home is in the low to mid 60s.
    Is this something I should be worrying about? I have been frequently using the air duster on the laptop. Oh, I have only had the new monster machine for about a month.

    Hi, how about updating BIOS and EC firmware to latest version?
    Also maybe you have installed some resident programs in the background? Anti-virus and Windows auto update would also work in the background.
    You can try to recover the OS to factory default and observe its status.
    Using Shift feature to switch to Green mode might do some help when you only at office mode.
