Satellite U945-S4110 Cooling System FAILURE

I purchased 2 Satellite U945-S4110 on the same day 19 months ago...BOTH ultrabooks have now stopped working due to a cooling system issue. I paid quite a bit of money for these ultrabooks BRAND NEW, now I'm screwed because they both went out at once. I will NEVER buy another Toshiba product! If only one would have went out that would have been understandable, but not BOTH at the same time! It is apparent that this ultrabook has some serious issues if it only works for less than 2 years, then just stops working.

likely just dust/dirt in heatsink/fan. local computer shop very easily clean it for you at some nominal cost or you could open it/them up and do it your self. not a big deal

Satellite P200-16X - Cooling system is not working

Hello
Since a few days I got an issue with my P200-16X. The cooling system doesn't work anymore and thus tmy laptop is overheating... until it shut down immediatly. Then I have to wait some time before being able to use it (the fridge is really good to cool it, but only when the need for the use is extrem). If I use it at the lowest consumption settings, I don't get overheating but still the CPU is at 65°C all the time.
I know the classic answer to this kind of problem is dust, but this is not the case here. I've always paid attention to that and I've checked: there's not much dust on the fans or on the grid. I've gone in the BIOS but found no option to control the fans.
Do someone has any idea about that? What I find strange is that I've found someone on a forum having the same problem as me, and at the same time (a few days ago). Could it be some update for Vista which can be the cause of this (these are the only update I made since december and at the time, everything was working well as I was playing 3D computer games without any problem)?
Thank you.
Enguerran

The P200-16X is listed but the guy says he is not completely sure.
My warranty is over now so that's why I want to do it myself. I've already disassembled a laptop and ironed on the motherboard with success this summer so before paying someone to do this, I would like to open it and see if I can do it myself. I'm just considering all the options and as I need my computer for my job, giving it for maintenance two or more weeks will be difficult. But first I want to be sure that it's a hardware problem and not a software one.

U945-S4110 Win8 reset to factory, hung on updates.

Hi.
Edit: I put this in the wrong forum. I'm sorry.
I have a Toshiba U945-S4110 with OEM Windows 8 on it. We had issues and finally reset to factory settings. That part worked.
I went to Microsoft to get software updates.
I tried all of them at the same time, it failed and reverted.
I tried again but only took the top 3 (don't remember what they were but they were all cumulative) and it seemed to go, but now the system might be hung.
It's sitting at a blue screen with a working pointer, and right at the center of the left side of the screen is the bunch-of-dots ferris wheel spinning.
It's been sitting like that for over 24 hours now.
Is this thing hung, or is it still working? Can I safely reset it and try again?
I'm experienced with PC hardware, but not with Windows (especially 8) or Toshiba laptops.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Sure, press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Chances are good it will recover when you start it up.
Be sure to follow these instructions when you upgrade to Windows 8.1.

'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.

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

Nothing to do buddy... you need an help from notebook technician

Windows 8 laptop cooling system not working anymore

This morning when I turned on my laptop it said that my cooling system is not working property and I need to turn it off right away . I got my laptop from Best Buy and it's a Satellite C855D-S5104 . How much does it cost to get it replaced? I'm using my iPad to write this by the way. And I wanted my whole laptop like just restart just swipe everything on it and yeah. How much does that cost too?

If its just the regular cooling system then probably its just 10-20 but if its intact w/ the MOBO then roughly its gonna give 50$ or higher i dont know w/ the labors and repair
(Everyone was new at one point)
You wanna say thanks ?? click the white star on the right side >>>

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?

Satellite 5200-903: cooling problem error message

few minutes after booting my Satellite 5200-903 (xp home sp1)an error message apears: "Problem with the cooling system, shut down your system and send it to the service" (it's a free translation from German..) I installed a temperature checking tool, the software shows cpu temperature of about 60C, however I do not hear the fan..
Can someone help?

Hi
You have a good chance that it's only a cooling module.
Generally such warning message appears because the CPU cooling module cannot cool the CPU properly or it doesn't work.
However, the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. Ask the guys for the opinion and I'm sure you will get a proper answer.
Good luck

Cooling system leaks

Ok. You have my attention. It seems like a lot of people are beginning to have this problem. This really concerns me. I have a 2.7 gig dual G5. Does my machine have the modified cooling system, or is it just as susceptible to leaks as the first 2.5 gig machines?

"It seems like a lot of people are beginning to have this problem."
"seems" is the key word here. There are several MILLION liquid cooled G5's out there. There have literally been only a handful of reports and most of them are anecdotal. We do not know the environmental conditions or user status of these reports. You simply cannot jump to the conclusion that a large number of machines are leaking. Do not fall into the mental trap that some do when they come here and see various reports of failures on various pieces of hardware. Even if a dozen people report here that their machine started to leak doesn't mean that a large number of machines are involved. Forums like these concentrate the negative.
You should not be stressing out over whether your machine will start leaking. The overwhelming odds are that it will not. And there's nothing you can do to prevent it if it's going to happen. These systems are sealed and not serviceable by the user. On other troubleshooting sites, like MacFixit or Macintouch, that have been around longer than the Apple forums and have very knowledgeable people this issue is not on the radar screen. I'm not worried in the least bit and I have a 2 year old dual 2.5 Power Mac.

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.

Hi When's the last time you cleaned the air vents??

"HP AIO Printer 7180 " Ink System Failure- Worth Repair ?

Hi I have the above all in one printer. it is maybe 8 years old now but an excellent,top of the line printer at that time. I have gotten an " ink system failure" warning and nothing works. I have been told that this means the printer is basically shot-to chuck it-and buy a new one. Its such a nice unit, it seems a shame to not try a repair. my local printer repair shop in Vancouver -eltek- has quoted me about $50 to check it out and up to repair from there. I've heard that this is a common problem with this unit. Question- As I am Disabled , on fixed low income, can I attempt a self repair and if so , what can I attempt? Would it be worthwhile to pay for this problem repair or should I just write it off and save $100 for the newer type, disposable printers ?   Thanks Most Kindly Brian Smith in North Vanc

Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand your Photosmart C7180 All-in-One Printer is stuck in an error state. I would like to assist you with this.   According to this article from HP, the sole troubleshooting recommendation is performing a hard reset. Beyond that, I recommend you reach out to our tech support team. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. Even though your printer's out of warranty, you might be able to look into alternative servicing or replacement options with HP.   Addressing your questions about D.I.Y. repair and third-party servicing, I do have some advice that you may want to take into consideration. The printhead on your C7180 is fixed/permanent. This means you can't readily take it out and clean it or replace it like you can in other printer models. Is it possible to dismantle the entire unit and identify the source of the error status (likely the printhead) and repair it on your own? Maybe... but there are no official guides from HP that support this approach. With some research online (Google, cough, YouTube, cough ) you might be able to find tips on how to go about this, but we rarely advise this route as it can exacerbate existing issues or create new problems.   Third-party repair businesses may have their own methods for fixing these types of printer errors, but I'm doubtful that they can guarantee a positive outcome, especially with this type of error. You can end up wasting money on a fruitless repair. We don't do pre-sales tips in the Forums, otherwise I'd recommend budget-friendly printers from HP that would match and in many cases exceed the capabilities of your C1780. If you do end of deciding to pick up a new printer you can checkout new HP models here.   I hope this helps. Have a great day!

SYSTEM FAILURE로 PO STAUTS가 'INPROCESS' 상태시 해결방법
========================================================
PURPOSE
Document approval manager가 fails 되어 down 되면 PO는 IN PROCESS 상태가
된다.이 PO에 대한 available한 workflow가 없고,reprocess 하기 위해
wfretry를 시도해도 실패한다면 아래 script를 이용한다.
(Oracle Purchasing - Version: 11.5.9)
Explanation
Document approval시 발생하는 Document Approval Manager crashing은 PO의상태를 IN PROCESS로 만드는 원인이 된다.
Workflow는 완전히 처리되지 못하고 workflow activities processes와
system 안에서 "lost" 상태가 된다.
이 때 wf_item_key는 어떤 active한 workflow와도 상응하지 못하기 때문에
불필요한 상태가 되어 버린다.
System crash로 인해 session variable data를 잃어버렸기 때문에 wfretry
를 실행해도 workflow는 restart 되지 못한다.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,
SeanS
