The laptop fan became so loud.

ANNR · 09-14-2006, 06:53 AM

when i first got the toshiba laptop for my brother it was so quite but now it is so loud for some reason.

Usely the fan became loud like every other 5 mins and all other times you can't even hear it. But now the fan is loud all the time.

I download the cd/dvd drive silencer sofware from toshiba site and install it but the result is sitll the same.

Does anybody know what is wrong with the laptop? anybody know how i can get the fan to be quite?

Thanks

Could be failing, could be getting hotter than before(due to software and such running in the background)...

by the sound of it.. there is much dust/dirt in the CPU heatsink. so it cant get rid of the heat very good, meaning it pushes the Fan to max speed in order to loose heat ( could you tell me the CPU temperature? and what CPU it is ofcourse )
anyway.,.. you might have to clean the heatsink

Edit: Yay.. post no2000

Exactly what I was thinking. An in-built fan controller, speed dependent on the temperature of the processor. Take the bottom off, and use some cotton-wool ear-bud thingys/tissue, and blow repeatedly.

I also noticed that the laptop is very hot lately. on the right side of the keypad is always hot. On the botton i can also see the fan and there are alot of dust on it. I will try to see if i can get it the bottom off and clean it.

it is a celeron M CPU. Normaly what should the temp be around?

will speed fan be able to tell the temp of my CPU? or is there a better program that i cna use.

thanks
