Toshiba a205-s4577 laptop fan stops and runs continuously

my laptop fan keeps running it stops for a second then again runs,even when I am not using the laptop.
please advise

Hi.
I failed to configure xorg.conf to get "static" dual head configuration, but I managed to do this with xrandr
2 tricks i had to do:
1. define sufficiently large "Virtual" size in "Display" subsection in "Screen" Section of your xorg.conf
2. xrandr -q allowed me to use 1024x768 maximum resolution, but I found in google setup for 1280x1024 and added it with "newmode" and "addmode" options in randr...
you can find more info at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html, and in xrandr manpage.
I hope it will help...

ItunesU videos not playing in Itunes but play ok if you download to laptop's drive and run them from windows directory

I'm having a problem playing some ItunesU videos, some play okay, some just show black screen and don't play, others show a still image but then doesn't play when trying to view them from itunes store. The audio files play with no issues.
I am using windows 7.
However, if I download the videos that don't play to the laptop's drive and run them from the windows directory they play okay. I don't want to have to download videos to see if they are something I'd like to watch.
Just for reference, an example of a video that plays okay is by UC Berkeley Math 16A 001, Fall 2011. Another is Introduction to Robotics by MIT.
An example that just shows blank screen is Stanford's Iphone & Ipad development, Fall 2011, both HD and SD versions.
While an example of a video that just shows the initial image but doesn't play is Harvard's Statistics 110. If you adjust the time of the video, the video moves to that part of the video but only shows the image at that time, ex. at 13:02, but doesn't play.
I've tried reinstalling quicktime first, then itunes. I've also tried putting directdraw in safe mode, but the problem videos still won't play.
Could it be some setting, since it plays when the file is downloaded but won't play straight from itunes store online (ie. pressing the play button beside the video in the itunes list).
Help pls.

You might have more luck asking on a general Windows troubleshooting site, but my guess would be an invalid or old audio or CD driver (or firmware in the drive). You might try checking those to make sure you have the correct and most current drivers.

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop?

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop? and if it is stopped it shall start from where i t stopped.

Your VI has some very fundamental flaws.
The start/stop button is outside the FOR loop, thus it will NOT get read during execution of the FOR loop, but only before the FOR loop starts. Think dataflow!
Thus the terminal of the start/stop button belongs inside the FOR loop.
Your FOR loop iterates 20x, which probably takes about a nanosecond. You will NOT be fast enough to reliably press the start/stop button during a specific iteration of the FOR loop.
Your code does not "stop and run" a FOR loop (sic). The loop always spins, but executes an empty case when "Stopped". I guess that's what you actually want?
Once you solve (2), the x indicator will contain a random value whenever you "stop".
As soon as the 20 iterations complete, the outer while loop spin an things start over, another nanosecond later.
Place e.g. a 500ms wait inside the FOR loop to solve this.
Don't place terminals of indicators on top of formula nodes.
Your formula does not produce any output, so really has no purpose.
Use a real "stop" button to terminate the while loop (mechanical action: latch when released). Right now you are using a plain switch, which does not reset to false before the next run. This means that you need to manually reset it before running the program again.
It is oftern useful to operate the VI in execution highlighting mode. You will immediately see that your button does not get read during execution of the FOR loop. Try it!

Correct way to stop and run again a FPGA reference

Hi guys !
I have some issues when I try to stop and run again an FPGA vi, I explain.
I have two DMA FIFO, one to send data to the FPGA from the CPU, and another from the CPU to the FPGA. When it receives data, the FPGA processes them and sends them back to the CPU and according to the result the CPU makes something. For instance it can be switch on LEDs or rotate a DC motor.
But to do this kind of actions, I have to use an "FPGA Personality", LEDs and I/O Pins seem to be managed by the FPGA core. So I've to close my FPGA vi reference in charge of receive data from the CPU, make my LEDs switching on and then after rerun again my FPGA VI again, If I don't do that LEDs blinking or motor rotation stay without effect... But close and start again the FPGA VI creates problems during the execution, especially for previous waiting of reading on the DMA FIFO... I've tried to catch errors on the FIFO to start again the FPGA VI with a right timing but nothing... I'm lost and I think that I'm missing something, a concept or something else.
I can't share my code because I'm working for a company but I would like to know if you have VI with this type of structure : an FPGA reference which have to be halted to allow hardware interaction with the default FPGA personality and then run again, everything with a good synchronisation...
I hope I'm clear, but if it's not the case, I can reword if necessary.
Thank you for the help !

I think the end user doesn't have to know that when he wants to make LEDs blinking he has to call a FPGA bitfile. I mean running an FPGA VI and want to make LEDs blink from the CPU VI at the same time should be transparent for the user and this without keep in mind horrors like bitfile switching for instance.
He doesn't have to load a different FPGA bitfile. Everything you need that FPGA to do should be in the bitfile. Keep in mind that we are talking about HARDWARE when we talk about FPGA. Each time you change bitfiles, the hardware has to be reconfigured. That takes time and is pointless for the situation you are talking about. Build your FPGA code to do everything you need it to and you will be fine.

Why does my cooling fan seem to run continuously?

Lately, my cooling fan seems to run continuously. Any ideas why and what I can do are appreciated!

Yikes, that is terrible, is it really warm where you are? Any dust clogging vents? Can you raise it a bit off the surface it's on?

Laptop fans stopped working!

I own an MSI laptop, model number M285 or FID2010. For some reason when the laptop switches on the fans start running, but as soon as the laptop begins to load windows the fans stop, causing the laptop to overheat. Can anyone please tell me why it is doing this and how to resolve it? Does the BIOS need re-flashing?
Thanks in advance for your help

I don't recall reading any posts on MSI laptops in any of our forums. I would suggest you contact MSI directly:

HP pavillion DV6 laptop fan isn't running to the max

As of late my DV6 laptop's fans aren't running at max rpm as they should be during heavy loads like gaming or video processing. It'll run normally and keep on gaining heat until it hits 80 degrees celcius by searching the web, yet the fan will still be at maybe 20-30% running capacity. When running games, it often drops my fps from 100% of its max capacity to mabye 30 to 40%. Is there a fix for this problem? I've already tried running all options of hp coolsense and I might try and get compressed air to air out the vents.

Also apparenlty according to speedfan my GPU fan speed is 0 rpm. Could that attribute to the lack of fan speed?

Fan stop and go all the time on B590

Hello, since 1 week i'm trying to contact phone support in france , message says that somebody will contact me and i'm waiting for...(maybe nobody work???)
Well i have got problems about fan...my version is Windows 8.1, and my fan after few time when my laptop start begin to work around 1 or 2 seconds and stop maybe 10 or 1 minute...and again and again...
I try to install bios but it's not working (even if i take the good one..) , watch for the temp and nothing is strange...
Please help me...

Monitor fan speed and temps with something suitable like Temperature Monitor.
FBDIMMs create a lot of heat, the older ones more so (anything from 2 yrs ago or older).

Start Stop and Run button.

hello,
I have one question, I want one button which can be run/start/stop button. I can't compile the program with "Run when open", because I need the user enter a string and a configuration, however after the user enter a configuration, I want that a START button, and when the user want press the same button to STOP all the program. All without pressing the "Run button (white arrow)". So the sequence it will be:
1- open the ".exe"
2- configure the variables such as: file name, file path, comments.....
3- press START button, and the system will start acquisition.
4- press STOP button and the program stopped and save all the data in a file.
It is that possible? Could anyone help me with it? Or send me and example?
Best regards,
Anna.

Hi,
You can do something like this.
Compile it with "Run when open".

Stop and run a java program

how can I stop then run a java program in java code?

netcom_ wrote:
You can do this from the command shell.I want to stop running the program by System.exit()Which will return a status code to the shell that launched your java app.
then I would run the program lets say by command shell(in java),Huh?
After your java app calls System.exit() you are back in the shell that launched the java app.
The problem that all the code after the instruction
System.exit is ignored so the command shell is not treated ,is there a solution,?You can use a shell script and use a loop.

Fan on iMac run continuously

My iMac is about 5months old and the fan does not stop running. Its very loud and really frustrating.
I have done a SMC reset and checked the activity monitor nothing is helping... Any advice?

The fans DO run all the time. That's normal. The minimum speed seems to be about 2000 rpm (at least on the late 2008 MBP). If you aren't doing anything to heat up your machine, that's the speed you can expect the fans to running.
If you get the widget iStat Pro

you can monitor your fan speeds and temperature and see if anything unusual is happening.

Workflow Timer Job Is Stuck( 0% Progress and Running Continuously )

We are facing strange issue in sandbox. Workflow timer job in central admin (CA) is getting stuck.workflow time interval is 2 minutes.
It supposes to run for every two minutes. But it stuck after the start. It is not resume (or) complete the job. It is showing 0% progress and running status.
We need to restart the SharePoint2010 Timer Service to restart the timer job.
When we restart the “SharePoint 2010 Timer”, Workflow timer job gets re started. But again it is stuck.
So whenever we need to run workflows I need to restart the “SharePoint 2010 Timer” service.
I have re created my site collection and delete the local list (which has workflow association).
But Workflow timer job in CA not resumed (or) completed.
Are there any options to reset the workflow timer job? Is there any way to clear state of workflow timer job?

i have got same problem in my SharePoint Server
for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import,
Config Refresh
workflow
so i have read most of notes.
Clearing the cache is the best resolving part for this.
To resolve this issue, clear the file system cache on all servers in the server farm on which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
Stop the
Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer services, and then clicks Stop.
Close the Services console.
Navigate to the directory:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
\GUID.
Backup the GUID folder
Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE
THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt. Note when you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder; make sure that you do NOT delete
the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini
file should be the number 1)
On the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010
Timer, and then click Start.
Close the Services console.
Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not
1.
Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.

Hi,
Try a clean installation of the Flash Player Plug-in as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the PC.
Next, ( unless you already have it ), download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
Regards,

Toshiba A205-S7464 cooling fan failure

My cooling fan suddenly stopped working. How can I check if the fan broke, or if it was caused by some other problem? And how can I fix this problem?

I have the same laptop (A205-S7464) that you do.
First suggestion: use a small vacuum cleaning nozzle to remove any dust from the fan port (the circular vent on the bottom of the laptop). That worked for me. If the laptop keyboard area is noticeably cooler after cleaning, you should be good to go.
If not, you or a tech will need to carefully remove screws on the laptop bottom, and do more careful cleaning.
There is a website that shows how to take apart A205 laptops, but don't go there if you're not good with electronics, grounding straps and so forth.
NOTE: the memory modules under the square opening in the middle of the bottom of the laptop are sensitive to static, which can damage them badly. If you don't know what you're doing, take your laptop to a knowledgeable tech for cleaning.
