I have a toshiba Satellite 2450 I could be on it for hours or minutes and I get a system warning which says windows detects problem with your cooling system please shut down and take in for service. How often is it the fan thats the problem and how do you replace one. I have never taken a laptop apart and am a little afraid to do it however the price of getting it fixed scares me more. Could you please help me? diagrams would be great

I need to replace the fan in a Toshiba A45-S2501. I have replaced the hinges ala irisvista – what fun! Is there an easier way to replace the fan? And sparepartswarehouse has the fan, P000392060. But they also show a 2nd DC fan, P000392080. Is the 2nd fan applicable to this laptop?

I’m also looking to replace a laptop fan, this one in a Toshiba Satellite M55 S325. My question is, can I buy a fan from somewhere like Newegg.com and have it work correctly, or am I forced to pay astronomical prices on the various part dealer websites? I can do the repair myself (I’ve already taken out and inspected the fan), but the price is an issue.

Thanks!

Hi i am selling parts for the toshiba laptop or the hole machine in one. A100 PORTEGE. A friend of mine opened it to clean the fan which was making a little noise and ended up breakin a little brown connector that attaches the mouse. And the other thing not working is the wireless connection. Last thing wrong with it is whilst putting it together i think he went through a wire as the machine is now not switching on. Instead of going to someone else i have decided to either scrap it for parts or a reasonable offer who has a sense to sort out these problems. Any reasonable offer for the whole thing or parts is considered. Thanks

Thanks so much for your super website!

The cooling fan in my Satellite A55 is pretty much shot. Can you please tell me which (if any) of your Toshiba disassembly guides applies to an A55 fan replacement?

I’m hoping the part number will be marked on the old fan.

Thanks again for all your help.
