I thought this video was gonna show the warning and then the after he fixed it cause my computer keeps giving a overheating warning every 10 second or 1 minute i open it.
On a newer Satellite I cleaned out the very small amount of dust then I did remove the fan and re applied better heat sink material. I also found out that you can adjust speed in the bios that really reduced the temp to 46c from 70c+. The previous owner burned up the HDD so I installed a new one...Happy camper....
I've become a pro a disassembling my toshiba! i could work for them! jajaja. Also if you the right greace, you can open the fan up, and kindly pull the fins off with a pliers on the head (not the fins). It pops off. Then put bearing greace in there. Purrrrrrrrrrr. Also make sure you get good quality thermal paste. And dont apply too much as you can get too much spread and that can actually cause problems so i've heard.
Fuck that, I'l just end up breaking my laptop for good, why couldn't they just put the fan in a spot where you could reach it by taking apart 1 screw..
since it's cracked open, I'd blow the crap out of it to prevent old dirt recirculating. I'd also spray some synthetic lubricant into the fan bearing. And lastly you'll wanna see if the blades on the fan play a bit, if they do replace with a performance fan for gaming laptops. With a dremel, add additional intake and exhaust slots.
Quit your whining bitches and just take the dam thing apart, not that difficult.. lol Actually, it would be cool if they designed it with a port where you could just take some compressed air and shoot it through and blow out all the dust...
- Jesus, the background music is like chug-a-lugging a bottle of Karo syrup.... - By 4:54 I'd have been ready to get the rest of the way in using a claw hammer. - This isn't a laptop, it's one of those Russian nesting dolls. - I was guessing we'd end up looking at the table.... and I was right. - MORE FUCKING SCREWS!? Ever heard of "clips," Toshiba? - This design is insane. A part of the system that WILL need to be accessed, probably more than once in the lifetime of the laptop, requires this much of a dismantle... while you can pop the hard drive out like it's a DVD. I hope Toshiba doesn't manufacture pacemakers. - "Apply new heat transfer paste." Dandy, a product that will require a ninety minute drive, one way, to purchase. (I'm waaay out in the boonies.) Screw it, I'm gonna use toothpaste, or Astroglide, or something.... - Final step: stand there wondering, "Why the hell do I still have two screws left over?" Oh, and Toshiba? Blow me. You're the Hyundai Excel of laptops.
Fantastic video ! I like that you also covered the re-assembly. I brought a brand new Toshiba Satellite L755 to China about 6 years ago, it was a powerful machine (at the time -- though it probably still is). I had to stop using it after 3 years, due to extreme overheating though. Tried following videos and guides in the past (I'm no technician), but could never safely get a clear path to getting to the cpu fans and how to replace the thermal paste. This is it --- I'm going to reopen that machine and give it another go ! Any advice for keeping dust *_out_* of the machine after all this is done ?
great video mate but you have obviously done this before as i would have little piles of screw with names on them , i watched it i went O.M.G i might give it a go as i am not a tech type person but ill try anything to save some coin and learn i have a l650 d so it was fairly relevant did you have one screw left over for the hard drive ?
Great video. I've been a PC tech since the TRS-80 days in the 70's. I noticed you threw all of the screws into one bowl. How do you keep the different screw sizes straight when re-assembling?
I guess this goes in the line of.. If it fits its ok. If it doesn't force it so that ti would. I can't believe I'm watching this video in search of another model overheating.
You should replace "Toshiba" with "All" because this problem happens on all laptops that use that squirrel blower against tiny heatsink fins. This is a regular maintenance item I recommend for all of my customers with laptops, and I never find a clean heatsink whenever I clean them.
ok, I spend around 30 min, clean my TOshiba, + change cooler (old one was 7-8 y.o. and I decide to put new) + put new thermo-paste. T droped down from 85 to 53. work better, faster. Toshiba. I'm totally satisfied.
thank you for video. I'll try to do the same. my Toshiba is 7-8 y. o. now and all this years works almost 20 hours/day. 4 years - in a desert. I like that brand! all this comments with a lot of f.. words - just told to much about that people...
