First of all, test your laptop with an external monitor. If the external image has same problem, this is the video card failure.
The video card cannot be replaced because it’s built into the motherboard.

Can you help me where can I find the fan?

also i have noe model number or anything coz it been scarted out sorry

The cooling fan is very, VERY noisy lately. I am afraid it will stop working,
and CPU will overheat…
Can you help me where can I find the fan?
This is the number from the back of my laptop.

Serial # X3019080SU
Part # PT831U-14E5T7X

Here’s the cooling module part number: V000020970 (heatsink and fan together).
The cooling module for your Tecra S1 laptop available here.

Serial # X3019080SU
Part # PT831U-14E5T7X

P.S. the “5″ and the “S” are so similar that I hope I’ve read it right…

Thank you in advance!

I have this Toshiba Tecra S1 model’s fan acting weird. The fan would come on when you turn on the laptop. Then it will stop spinning. I think it suppose to start spinning once the cpu is hot. The user complains that this laptop gets really hot and it just freeze.

1. Make sure the heat sink is clean and there is no dust inside.
2. Use new thermal grease.
3. Make sure the laptop runs the latest BIOS.

The fan starts up at boot time but when it gets in windows, the CPU fan stops, I don’t think its got anything to do with thermal grease as that only keeps the CPU cool. You can get thermal grease tube from any computer store for about $5. I’ve even tryed loading a ubuntu live CD and it does the same thing, the fan doesn’t seem to be working at all, any ideas?

Does your laptop shut down or freezes?
Take a look inside the heat sink, maybe it’s clogged with dust and the laptop overheats because of that.
