Satellite E105-S1402 Running Hotter After ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.40

Hello,
First time poster. I bought a E105-S1402 yesterday from Best Buy. The computer was running at a comfortable tempture up until I updated the bios per the download and drivers page, http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=214052....  Now, the laptop runs much hotter. Does anyone else have the same issue? Is this something the bios update was supposed to do? Any advice/suggestions. Thanks! 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You might try to update your bios to v 1.5. It is the very latest bios update (late April 2009) for the E105-S1402.
My E105 does run a little hotter than my previous HP laptop, however, I have gotten used to it. I'm guessing the fact that the body is made of aluminum, rather than plastic, is the reason why it feels hotter. However, what we get with warmth as a negative, we gain in build quality and ruggedness as a positive.
As long as your laptop has not shutdown on its own, which would be an indication that the computer tried to save itself from damage due to excessive heat, then you are probably fine, albeit uncomfortable.

  • ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.60 Update Problem cause Blank Screen on Qosmio X505-Q870 HELP Needed!

    I have a Qosmio X505-Q870 that I bought 3 months ago. I updated to ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.60 today, as suggested by the Toshiba installation tools. I ran the update in Windows 7( didn't know this is dangerous) and it successfully completed, before it shuts down normally. When I try ti turn it on, the power LED is on, but the screen is blank. I tried to turn it off by pressing the power button for 20 seconds, but the computer would not turn off. What should I do now?

  • How to connect my Satellite E105-S1402 to an external projector?

    Hi everybody
    I own a Satellite E105-S1402 that has an HDMI port. Unfortunately, the projector we use in my office is not HD ready so it has regular VGA input connector (DB9). How can I connect it to this type of projectors? Do I have to use a digital to analog converter? If yes, which one? Is there a cable adaptor?
    pls Help!!!!

    Hi
    The Sat E105 was not known to me until now ;)
    Well buddy, generally its possible to convert the digital video signal in analog signal (but not analog in digital ? )
    To be honest I never tried to connect a non HD device to a HDMI port but maybe the converter like this one would functions:

    Most common reason is that the application you're using has its own volume control.
    If not that, try reinstalling the driver.

  • Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

    I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
    Has anybody else seen this problem?
    Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

    Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
    My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
    Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
    Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
    So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

  • Running Hotter after 10.5.3 update?

    I have a MBP 2.5ghz and it's been running hotter (the bottom) after I did the update for 10.5.3. I've restarted the machine thinking that the systems may clear the cache or some other process was making it run hotter. But it's consistently running hotter now than it did when 10.5.2. Anyone experiencing this also on their MBP 2.5ghz?

    This is what I worked out...
    I was using Fan Control before I upgraded so I uninstalled it by following the instructions here: Fan control then I downloaded an re-installed the app from the same address, and now she's purring again - Woo!

  • MacBook Pro running slow after USB flash drive

    I mount a Kingston USB flash drive to my 30 days old MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.4
    My Mac didn't recognize, so I inserted another one and it did recognize it.
    And I notice my mac was running slow, some task that I did the day before (illustrator cs6) were really fast.
    But after that USB flash drive it went slow, I thought it was and error and reebot it, also cleaning out the Cache and other stuff with CleanMyMac.
    But it continues to run slow.
    Please if someone knows what I can do I will appreciate it.

  • System running hotter after disabling Hyperthreading!???

    Hi,
    I've been running my 875P in a system quite happily for the last few weeks and the Thermaltake Spark 7 has been keeping the CPU nice and cool and a decent 30c but after installing updated drivers for a modem here i found that the system crashed unless i disabled Hyperthreading - obviously the drivers don't get on with HT enabled...
    Anyway, since disabling Hyperthreading my system now runs at a much warmer 42c! which is a hell of a difference from 30c average temp.
    Would disabling Hyperthreading make this much of a difference ie would the CPU get hotter as its doing more work or somthing?
    Its a P4 2.8Ghz 800fsb btw.
    Any ideas?

    yeah, BIOS v1.8 made no difference.
    I'm running StatBar as i usually monitor performance and the temp is hovering around 42c with 0% CPU useage.
    Hmmmm... this sucks.
    Well, its the poor drivers for the modem i blame, as everything else worked with HT enabled and ovbiously it would be enabled if the drivers worked properly.
    I'll only have to put up with it for a couple more months as i'll be getting dsl here and so a new modem will be going in.
    I don't like it running that hot though, but its the noise from the fan thats annoying me more than anything! ;-)
    So you say look through the other threads? So would you say that disabling HT in any MSI BIOS makes the CPU work harder or hotter etc is this right or would disabling HT on any mobo behave in the same way?

  • Running hotter after reset?

    A tech support guy had me do a PRAM and Power Management reset this afternoon. Since doing that, my MBP seems to be running a lot hotter, especially while playing World of Warcraft. The keyboard is noticeably warmer, and the strip right between the panel hinge and the keyboard is VERY hot. I don't recall the laptop being this hot before. I am running a platform fan underneath but it's not doing any good. I also heard the cooling fan kick on - it hasn't done that since I did a firmware upgrade when I bought it two months ago.
    Perhaps related - the system will no longer boot to Windows XP. It brings up the boot logo, screen goes black, that's all she wrote. I have to hold the power button down to reboot.
    -Z

    since you did a reset maybe you should go to their support page and try the download for smcfirmware upgrade. that sets the fans a little higher. this is apples upgrade, and warrantied. but if yoiu want to go a step farther try out the smcfancontrol program that someone has taken this upgrade a step further and given you better fan control, however this is NOT an apple approved program. i use it and love it, not a big fan of the fanspeed program though, there are 2 of them out there. search the boards and you'll find them

  • Satellite A110 (PSAB0) running hot after BIOS update

    I updated the BIOS on my Satellite A110 (PSAB0) to the latest version and now the laptop runs hot - the fan runs constantly and the battery drains from full to empty in minutes.
    Is there a setting or another update to cure this problem or how can I restore the old BIOS?
    I am sure I opted to save the old version during the update but I can't find it on my laptop.
    Thanks for any help

    Have you tried resetting the BIOS to its default settings?
    Also try updating the Toshiba Power Saver and Common Modules, and check that the power options are set to dynamic CPU speed to avoid the CPU from running full speed all the time.

  • Laptop not booting after I Upgraded BIOS

    Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849
    Originally had issues with the left speaker making a horrible buzzing noise. Searching forums & help boards & the fact that I'm fairly computer Literate I came to the conclusion a OS reinstall was called for.
    Since I only use this laptop for DJing theres only a couple of programs on it so it was not too much hastle.
    Reinstalled OS Windows 7 updated it & all the drivers & the Buzz was still there.
    This is when I read from a couple of users of Toshiba laptops said an upgrade of the BIOS helped them.
    So I went to the official Toshiba support page & flashed my laptop using the following BIOS upgrade
    ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.00 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU) 32/64-bit
    Nearing the end of the flash my pc screen went black power lights are on, cord light on, battery light on just no OS
    What I've tried.
    Unplugged from power supply.
    Removed Battery
    Left for 20 mins & then tried to reboot.
    Same thing happens each time
    Power lights come on HD spins for a minute but nothing happens after that.
    Any ideas why an official software update would cause my computer to not work & how do I roll back or clear my bios to default specs.

    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    to download my own version of crisis disk with the new v2.0 rom bios. ready to build the floppy by running the crisdisk.bat:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/410963513/CrisDisk.zip?.html
    I posted this instruction to repair my A215 with these files:
    Since finding a solution was a very confusing experience, here is how I fixed it (it should work for most similar models.)
    Now read it all the way through because the steps are critical.
    I got a Toshiba Satellite A215 PSAFGU (S6814) And after shutting down from overheating during a flash from windows it didn't boot. Black screen and nothing more. Meanning my bios was corrupt
    So after lots of trial and error, using an external usb floppy drive I managed to save my laptop.
    Maybe people here describe how to do it, but they tell you to download the wrong crisis recovery files and once you try to use your ROM instead of the one on the disk, or try to replace phlash16.exe it just fails. Tried injecting but that didn't work.
    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    unrar and go to the directory, then unrar (you'll see it) CRISDISK.rar .
    This copy of crisis with phflash16.exe (in the extracted directory) is a good version that can handle the newest versions of bios ROM.
    Now copy your ROM file to the crisisdisk directory renaming the file to bios.wph and thus replacing the existing one.(i used the new 2.0 version ROM from the Toshiba site - in this case its called m10a200.rom)
    To prevent 'dos path' errors when building the disk, copy the entire directory to a simple one like c:\cirsis
    Build your disk now by running CRISDISK.BAT - the process includes quick formatting, copying the three files, and lastly making it bootable, make sure you go through all the steps. ( at first, i messed the last part by not having it bootable and it failed ofcourse)
    once it says it created the disk successfully, put it in your external usb drive (or use the disk you created to make a bootable flash drive by using hp drivekey boot utility available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S?oftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839 I didn't have a chance to test it with usb flash drives, but it should work.)
    Now once you connected your media to the usb port on your laptop:
    make sure the battery is out, power cord out, hold fn+f, while doing that, plug the cord and then push the power button, release the fn+f key once you see the light on your usb drive/usb floppy is starting to blink. it should pause for a few seconds, and then start reading the disk for a while (not just 3 seconds). Process should not take more then 10 minutes so waiting more then that is a waste(trust me). The computer should reboot byitself if everything is fine. Mine took about 5 minutes but give it 10 just to make sure.
    After hours of finding, replacing, injecting, only this worked.
    This works for sure, if you follow these instructions with your Toshiba Satellite A215. Don't loose hope - you will recover it.
    A good sign is when using the fn+f method and it flashed the usb drive/floppy. It means its 99% recoverable.
    Really hope this saves time for others.
    This is a solution posted by yarivc on the USA Toshiba site.

    BTW
    to the last poster
    If you were to ask 100 customers in any comp store who just purchased a Toshiba Laptop if they knew a OFFICIAL UPDATE from the manufacturers support website would VOID a warrenty I gaurantee not one of them would know that nor be impressed by it.
    Further more what screwed up my bios was not the BIOS upgrade but the fact that Toshiba has a install from your desktop (windows) button in the update, researching this I found that one should never use this method because Windows in inherently unstable when it comes to BIOS update.
    This option should NOT have been included in the update since its very unstable to do so.
    On a side note.
    My left speaker buzzing noise is back. But it doesnt seem too annoying right now concidering I saved myself money & headache.
