Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan no longer operating efficiently

Hi,
I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
It runs at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but it hardly ever runs in high speed mode.
It clearly needs to as the air temperature is quite high... about the temperature of a typical vehicle's exhaust.
I'm worried it will burn itself up if I don't have it fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
I use a USB-powered "Chill-Pad" under it at all times to make it run cooler than factory settings, but this problem has only cropped up recently.
I've owned this computer for a little less than two years now.
About 5 months into ownership, the HDD failed and had to be replaced (needless to say, I backup ALL my important files now).
Does anyone have any information on this topic or the normal operation of the cooling fan?
If so, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Nick

Hi!
As Akuma said it could be that you have to more dust in the cooling ventilators or that the fan doesnt work properly.
So in your case I would try to clean first by using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators. You can buy it from a computer dealer.
If it doesnt work you should sent it to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and clean it.
Maybe the thermal grease must be renewed and the technicians can do this for you. Its a little bit tricky to disassemble a notebook and you must remove a lot of screws so sent it to an ASP.
Bye

  • Satellite A135-S4527 - Drivers needed & Function Keys do not work

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But, when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / Vista Reinstall Disk and the Vista OS that was installed was a bloated mess - it was highly used by a individual of lesser intellect. Anyway, I decided to take out that Hard Drive and put in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.
    Thats when the problems started rolling in. Turns out Toshiba does not support Windows XP Operating System - I checked the site and was surprised to see a complete lack of support for Windows XP ( even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and was even more so when this laptop was made).
    I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything but the modem. Easiest to find drivers were from Intel for the Chipset / Motherboard and the Legacy Graphical Processing Unit. The thing is, I am not sure whether or not these are the official drivers and I am completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can acquire the -latest and greatest- drivers for all my components?
    Also there are a few problems,
    - Function Keys For Brightness Do Nothing
    - Laptop sometimes does not come out of sleep mode
    What can I do about the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet I am having no luck making those keys actually do anything.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi
    From my knowledge this must be a Toshiba US notebook series.
    Therefore I visited the Toshiba US driver page to check the driver availability.
    And guess what? I found it but unfortunately there are no many Win XP drivers.
    There are Vista and Win 7 drivers available but no Win XP.
    I guess that this is everything what is available for Win XP.
    So what to do????
    I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other notebook series; for example A105-Sxxxxxx
    Maybe you will get the driver working
    Lets hope. Otherwise you will have to use the notebook without such functions

    Hi,
    You can try the steps from this link below and check if it helps. Moreover after that error comes up if you immediately hit enter the computer will load to windows. Once in Windows you can download the latest BIOS update as that from HP Support and Drivers and install it.

    If problem continues then you may have to get the fan replaced. If the computer is still under warranty then you can call HP Tech Support for repair.
    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

  • Re: Satellite A135-S4527: Need all XP drivers

    Need all drivers xp for A135-S4527.
    Gracias

    The Satellite A135-S4527 was designed for the US market. In my knowledge all Toshiba series with the 5 at the end are US notebooks.
    Therefore you should check the Toshiba US driver website.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/home.to
    If you will not find the necessary XP drivers then either you will have to wait till the drivers will be released or you will try some single XP drivers directly from the chip manufacture websites.

  • 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.

  • What kind of RAM I need for my Satellite A135-S4527?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527. It came with 1GB RAM (DDR2 SDRAM). I'd like to upgrade it to 2... Just wondering if anyone knows what kind/brand of RAM is installed from the factory, and if it's installed as 2x512 or 1x1024.
    Thanks.

    The specification of your notebook model is not known to me but if you want to upgrade RAM check please this Kingston page .

  • Satellite L850-1KG - cooling fan runs constantly

    Hello
    I have the problem that constantly runs in my Nootebook the fan. How can I open the case and clean it?
    I have a Satellite L850-1KG
    Thank you

    I don't know how old is your notebook and if dust can be reason for permanently running cooling fan but try please at first to check advanced power options. There you will find option for cooling method. Set it please to battery optimized. This should reduce cooling fan activity.
    I also hope you use notebook on the desk and cooling fan/cooling grill is free.
    By the way: do you use original Toshiba recovery image with original display driver?

  • 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 ;)

  • Satellite A135-S4527 Sleep issues

    Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    1gb ram
    80 gb hard drive
    Everytime i close the lid, hit the power button, or use the start menu and try to get the computer to sleep or hibernate and all it does is shut the computer down. I've gone into power options and attempted to change it but nothing happens and i even tried updating the BIOS. But when the computer is sitting here it will go into a sleep mode but then it does not come out of it. I'm really confused and would very much appreciate some help. Thank-you

    Did Sleep work properly when the computer was new?
    Try toggling the setting in Control Panel's Power Options with a reboot in between. This sometimes shakes minor corruption out of the registry.
    You might also try running the System File Checker (described in the first part of this article).

  • Satellite R830-182 - cooling fan runs permanently

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a R830-182. The fans runs 100% of the time, starting with the moment I boot up. Is this right, I expect the fan on a laptop to kick in when the CPU reaches a certain temperature? This is annoying as it is fairly noisy. Have also tried running the laptop at lowest possible power - no software open, WIFI off, battery saver power management, screen brightness turned down etc to no avail.
    Anyone out there with the same model know if this is an issue or just how this laptop it is supposed to work?

    I agree with as***: change the cooling mode in Win 7 power management

    it seems that your notebook has not been equipped with an fingerprint. But check if the fingerprint software is installed. If its installed, then remove this from the system.
    Furthermore I recommend changing some BIOS settings:
    +Power Management:+
    Dynamic CPU frequency mode (not sure about the available options but try different posibilites)

  • 'Cooling fan is not operating correctly' - System Fan (90B) - HP Envy 14 2002ea

    Hi
    I just bought this laptop off of someone and am having this error appear at startup. It only appears on fresh startup, not if I restart.
    I can hear the fan working and it's not particularly noisy, although it is on continuously. Is this normal? I also have an Envy 14 1050ea and the fan in that is running quieter and also definitely cooler. Although the Envy 1050ea is i5 and the 2002ea is i7.
    I thought it might need a BIOS uprade for the 2002ea but turns out the latest is already installed (F.0F).
    Has anyone else had and/or managed to rectify this problem? Don't really want my laptop to melt on me...
    Thanks

    Try a hard reset. Remove battery and AC plug; hold down power button 30 seconds. Wait 30 seconds. Plug in AC. Power on. Also try going into the BIOS (F10) and reset to default settings. Lastly take a bent-out paperclip and stick it in the fan grille to hold it from spinning out of control. Now blow in some strong compressed air. If none of this works, the fan needs to be replaced. The part is cheap but it requires significant disassembly.
