It could be similar, i cant assure that, when i open a diffrent model of laptop i dont know how it is going to be, all what you need is to be careful and have patience... and the most important do not force any component. The best thing you can do is watch some diffrent models of laptos beeing opened then you will have an idea how to open yours. and thanks ;)
lol, I never worked with newer w8 systems i dont know at which temprature they start warning, thats what why i ask to check temps with some kind of program, anyways you are right you can wash your components with watter, i dont reccomend only if you know what you´re doing, it is only in extreme cases, i already did it lots of times :)
My Toshiba satellite A500 started shuting down with no warning until it just died and wont eaven go to the bios. The cause i think was the overheating, do you think trying to change the termal paste will solve the problem. Dont want to through away if there is still a chance to repair.
try to download the CoreTemp , its a little program and easy to download , and check your temps, then you will see if there is a problem with cooling system, normaly if temps get to high computer automatically shuts down ,also what operative system do you have ?
Hi, i own this model satellite a200 1c9 (first result on google sorry i can't link directly) is the procedure the same to replace thermal paste and clean cooler? Thank you in advance nb. nice song.
I think you mean Thermal pad, some graphics card use thermal pads or thermal paste, even both, Thermal pads are used because its faster to apply or when there is a tiny gap betwen Cooler and heat source, If your computer has thermal pads, and they are dry, I reccomend to buy new ones and not replacing by thermal paste, becareful because pads are very sensitive can easily be torn, and they are hard to find
hello friend I have a Toshiba Satellite L45 laptop-JB4205FL to format and now calls me Password and could not enter the BIOS to change the boot order and reset the bios thanks for the answer you can give me.
Hi, I already opened up my laptop and clean all the dust. But there is still one problem remaining, that is the fan seems dry and it rotates very slowly (I can feel that it's a bit heavy to turn by hand). Could you please show me how to remove the fan and apply lubrication for it?
Thank you. I had watched that video before posting the question. And it didn't help in my case. Somehow, my laptop manufacturer made it impossible to remove the rotor. I tried with WD40, and it helped a bit (not much, but still better than nothing)
Slide the white plastic a little bit towards the ribbon cables, away from the connector. Adjust them from the edges and be careful, they only move about 1/8” before breaking. Mine broke but will still hold the keyboard ribbon cable in place. With out issues.
its deffently the cooler...same message here..warning >.< was just looking how easy the part could be replaced ..and hmm i just think my laptop needs a refreshing bath now =p
+donna raynes Remove the Keyboard and check if the connection between the board and keyboard is broken, dismantling all the keyboard keys to reach only 1, if its a laptop keyboard, its not a good idea, doesnt worth it, try cleaning the broken key with alcohol from behind diagonally so it penetrates very well inside the key, remove the key and with your finger on top try rubbing the rubber down to clean the connection inside, dry it and test if its ok, if not try cleaning it again, and check and clean the connector, and if still doesnt work before buying a new one try washing the keyboard with hot water and soap, make sure to apply the water with pressure diagonally, from behind and front to penetrate between the sheet connections, while pressing the damaged keys to make sure the dust/oxidation goes outside, then in the end make sure all soap is off, wash it with lots of hot water and with pressure, then shake it hardly up and down to remove all the water, air compressor helps, then spend about 40 min drying it with an hairdryer, then about 6 hours on the sun, if there is some water left some keys will be stuck, so go back to the drying process especially sun, remember this is a desperate measure. hope it helps
Old video but... [rant] Anyone else think Toshiba laptops suck? Maybe it's just my own bad experience, but they are usually overpriced, filled with bloatware, overheat easily, and the company purposefully makes it difficult to clean them. At this point my CPU runs @ about 70c idle (down clocked to 70% max CPU power, @ 100% it would be in the upper 80C idle), and scraping the upper 90C when gaming. Going on like this will burnout my CPU and it seems I have little choice but to: dismantle this myself, clean the fans, re-apply thermal paste, then put it back together (that's *if* I can figure out how to do that). Even with my last Toshiba Satellite (which ran hotter than average from the day I bought it) was destroyed by only a few drops of water landing on the keyboard. Thankfully it was covered by accidental damage; they gave me a choice between a slightly worse version of the same laptop I had before, or some good Sony Vaio. I should've went with the Vaio... but I 'bartered' with them over the phone trying to convince them my version was the i5 one and not the i3 one, they wouldn't listen until they looked over the web and found that I was telling the truth (usually my model is an i3 but this individual laptop is an i5). Eventually got it sent through, once again ran hot from the day I bought it (likely due to crap case design), bloatware, etc. Then again I'm sort of lucky I even got a replacement. Other models have issues more so with the motherboard getting fried in under a year, seems like most of their models have their own individual issues... even there upper-end/gaming laptops seem meh.

***** My advice, forget laptops, no matter what specs they have, they were not meant for gaming, just buy or build you own gaming desktop, laptops suck at maintenance, and ofc they overheat, save your money, and buy a decent desktop.
SpIRiTus1995 yeah i'll defo do that in the future when i build my own, i know they aren't meant for high intensity games, but toshiba, along with a few others, just run way too hot even at idle.
Ternunda I've had mine black screen a bit in the past, but nothing like that. The max temp for most Intel CPUs is 100c so I dunno how you got it to go beyond 100c, unless you disabled the safety feature that shuts it down when it hits that temp. Apparently Intel's CPUs are made to run at high temps for long periods of time... so there shouldn't be much risk with the CPU dying anytime soon. Anyway, I'm not sure what to suggest other than ask about it on a tech forum like bleepingcomputer or tomshardware, they should be able to help you figure it out. It is very likely to be something to do with the GPU and you're likely right about the freezing to save your CPU (i.e. it is downthrottling it so it runs cooler). For mine I'm thinking it might be a thermal paste issue also, unless they like shipping their customers dusty laptops :P
I had the same thought regarding the fan, but I took my laptop apart again, and it is indeed plugged in. I also used thermal paste. I think I figured it out though. I ran PC Health Monitor and it looks like my fan never actually starts running, so I think the fan itself is broken. I'm going to order a new one in a couple days. I'll let you know if it works once I replace it. Thanks for the video and your quick response!
+SouthHillWill Get an External Fan Cooler that plugs into a USB. They are so cheap on Ebay you will not believe it. Buy it direct from the commies...LOL!
When I will put the thing out, I'm sure I will put them all in wrong places and wrong states :D If you can, send me a diagram of the where and what has to be connected back to...
