    Hi,

    for two days I have possessed new laptop Toshiba L830. System Windows 7, 64 bit - RAM 4GB. Ventilator is loud. It gives sounds. What can I make, in order to get rid this sound ?

    There is no dust in new laptop and I work in house. The sounds of ventilator irritate me. Processor does not be burden. Will adding 4 GB of memory of RAM settle matter ? The laptop has to be low, the additional meringues of "hums".
    How can I this repair? Do I have to send to service? Exchange of arrangement of cooling?

    I ask about advice.

    Your specific model may be defective: I would NOT ask for a 'fix' - return/exchange it ONLY.

    If the exchange is the same, then it's possibly a 'feature' and not a flaw.

    At this point, you'll have to decide if you can live with this for the length of ownership you expect from this system.

    I would personally be choosing anything other than a Toshiba though.

    To send it in for 'repair' will involve having paid (in full) for your new system and being without it for up to several weeks while some 'techie' learns how to work with this new system for the first time (doesn't matter how experienced they are; if this is a new system, it will be 'new' to them too and they will be practicing on your dime).

    If a brand new system doesn't work 100% to your satisfaction; 'repairing' it is never a good option in the long run.

    Replace or Return.


    Good luck.
