I need to replace my cooling fans

Hi,
Can anyone give me some advice on this? I want to replace all of my original cooling fans with the best cooling and quietest available. I would like to hear from anyone whos has done this with success. All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

I recently silenced my fw800.
The trick is to run the PSU fans on 5 Volt, rather than just replace them. On 5 Volts, they should not make too much noise. Mine are still somewhat loud, and I suspect they're worn out. I'm about to swap them for ADDA fans, which I hear are more silent.
I'll run those on 7 Volts, because they're probably too weak to start on 5 Volts.
Of course, this will decrease airflow through the PSU, so you'll have to give it cooler air. Instead of having it suck in 110°F air from inside the case, I've removed the front speaker, built a cardboard channel, so the PSU will get cold, room temperature air ONLY!
Last thing up, you must install a PCI slot fan, because the PSU no longer provides global air output of the case.
Additionally, you might replace the 120 mm fan if you'd like, but the original fan (the Papst one) isn't that loud, actually.

What is the typical cost of replacing the cooling fan in a
laptop computer ? (In India in Indian Rupees)?
The laptop is HP Pavillion DV6 6165tx. The cost means
fan cost plus labour charges.

Hi,
You should know this better than us. Normally part is around $40 (more or less) and labour can be $50 to $200. I would charge this for $400 (minimum) or free.

How to replace a cooling fan.

Recently my toshiba satellite l455d-S5976 laptop started to over heat, and shut down from it. Figuring that simply clearing some gunk from the inside would solve my issues, I stupidly used a can of compressed air to blow into all the vents along the sides and bottom of the laptop. Later I find out that, since I didn't do anything to stop my fan from spinning too fast, I had completely ruined the laptop to the point that it would not stay on for more than 10 minutes without switching off.
My warranty is long since gone, and I don't have 200-500 dollars to pay for repairs that the representitive on the phone told me it would cost. After doing a little bit of research I've found a 25 dollar fan I can order online, and a recommended thermal grease to use with it.
However, this series of laptop seems to be fairly obscure, and the only information I can find about opening it up is to replace the CPU itself. To do that, however, it sais that you would need to completely dissasemble the laptop. I'm sure if push came to shove, I could manage to do so, but no doubt with quite a bit of a headache, but then on other series of Toshiba laptops I understand you can replace the fan/heatsink by simply removing the battery, unscrewing one panel, and replacing the parts from there. Is that possible with this series?
Also, do the fans come together as one unit with a heatsink, or do I have to detach the current fan from my heatsink and just replace the fan itself? If that's the case, I won't be needing to buy any thermal grease.
If it's any help here is the link to the fan and thermal grease I'm considering purchasing.
Fan: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000086560.aspx
Grease: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

I don't know much about your particular laptop, but all laptops I have delt with, I needed to dissasemble the laptop in order to replace the fan.
If you do not think you are up for doing the replacement and don't have the money to take it in to a shop, i recomend you try out a cooling pad. it shoots up air into your computer and cools it down. It is powered by your USB port.
However if you really want to fix it. you should open it up by removing all the screws, opening up the laptop, remember to disconnect any cables, unplug fan, unscrew the fan/heatsink, replace, do everything again in opposite order. For themal paste...I am not sure for your particular model, you would have to open your laptop to find out.

How to Replace cooling fan HP Pavilion g7-1139

Need information on how to replace the cooling fan on my Pavilion g7-1139 series Laptop please .
This question was solved.

Hi, Rick:
It appears that the manual for the g7-1300 series would also pertain to yours...same hardware specs...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5214430&
There is no manual linked to your notebook's support page, and the one for the g7-1139 is for older hardware (1st generation core processors).

Dead cooling fan

Hi there folks,
About two months ago the cooling fan of my notebook died.
My laptop is a rather old 'DV7 6008-eo', yet it still runs great and has amazing performance.
- though it is rather degraded as the CPU has to throttle back due to the high temperatures.
The laptop has yet to crash on me during this course, of which I'm rather amazed.
It seems to operate very smoothly even when running at a constant 80-98 degrees celcius.
My question is though, how do I go about replacing the cooling fan and which spare parts do I need?
Is it an easy job, or am I just lost?
- I do have a lot of technical experience, so that's certainly not an issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
the thermal solution is hardly ever a customer self-repair feature, i woudl not recommend to do it at home. Take it to a repair center and they will order the spare part and replace it. You can find some seld repair guides on HP.com support pages, but not for the fan.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=22076&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc...
Hope you will be able to use your notebook for a long time.

Cooling Fan issue/Questions

Hello there I will try and explain this whole story as best as I can. First off, I know my way around computers, I am going to school for them. Asking for help is a last stretch for me... but I need to learn when to ask for help inorder to learn from my mistakes. This laptop is a HP Pavillion DV7. List of replacement parts for this laptop can be found here.I have done as much research as I can on the issue. So let me explain my situation. As a gamer, I know I stress out my laptop a lot. at 2.2ghz, it doesnt do much, but its 8mb L3 cache allows me to play quite a lot, not to mention what I gather from sources, my processor itself determines it should turboboost itself to 3.1ghz when it is under a heavy load. ( If this information is not true, then I will have to look into those sources again ) I have to admit, I do leave my computer on. I administrate gameservers and Teamspeak servers quite often, and gain access to the computers using the internet from my house to help fix the problems. I know I am not suppose to, but I leave it on so that I have the convience of looking into issues first hand and help the community owners as quickly as possible. I feel this is why I am having the issue I am. On Monday morning, a regular morning to wake up, first thing I do is check computer for any messages. The top left hand side of the computer is hot. Normal, since this is where the processor is in the laptop. The bottom part however never truely is. It got slightly warm, enough for me to take a notice. I turned computer off to let it rest so no problems had occured. a nice 30-45 minute rest. Laptop became room tempature at touch so I proceeded to turn it on. Upon doing so, I got a message The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly.Continued operation is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behavior that could result in random shutdown, data loss or possible system damage. The system will shut down in 15 seconds. To prevent shutdown and continue operation, press the Enter key now.System Fan (90b) I restarted computer, got same message. Proceeded to turn off laptop, then made sure AC power cord and adapter were working fine and plugged in. ( My Adapter block is normally hot, I think this is due to me leaving laptop plugged in all the time and never turning it off.) I restart once more, then head into BIOS. I check that the System Configurations are correct, Fan is automatically turned on, and I check BIOS logs for start up. All came up clear except the past 3 times. They stated part 090-B came up an error. This surely was the fan not being recognizes, as the start up told me. I go searching in the internet for replacement fan. This is the fan I have pruchased [ Replacement Fan ] and the thermal paste I purchased with it [ Thermal Paste ]. I rechecked with friends who work in computer stores for a living and they told me this was the correct part. So I decided I would wait. Today, I was told of an issue with the server, I log in to check the problem, get the error message for the fan. No biggie. I fix the issue within 5 minutes. My laptop was not on long enough to get hot. I get a message for an update today. I figured, sure; not a huge process needer, It will be fine. I let it update, and restart because I know it will need to finish applying them on restart. This time... the fan error did not display. I let the update patch in all 36,000 files. I restart after. I check the BIOS logs, It said no errors. I restart another 2 times to make sure I am not missing the message. There is none. Whether or not my idea is wrong, I will still replace the cooling fan. My question is... Since the BIOS is responsible for how the computer starts, could the update possibly be the reason the error message no longer occurs? with 36,000 files patched, they could have easily been a driver fix and or a BIOS patch. They also could have been a simple security fix, but I have no way or knowing. I know it was 14 updates, and 36,000 files patched. Could this at all have effected the error I was getting? Again, whether or not it could be the solution, I wil lstill replace the fan. I ask for future reference of this knowledge. Could this be a simple mistake in the matter? Should I take into consideration of the update as a fix for the fan? Did it matter at all? EDIT It seems though the error is gone, my processor still seems to be getting hot. This image shhows no sign of the fan working http://i.imgur.com/N1UgmHb.png

Still waiting for someone with more experience then me to explain to me the situation...

If the hard drive is making some noise, that is not a
good sign. It might mean that your hard drive is
about to have a hardware failure. I would make sure
to backup your important files to another hard drive
or to CDs. If you cannot get the hard drive replaced,
I suppose you could start using an external FireWire
hard drive. Of course, that may make your iBook much
less portable.
How old is your iBook? Which model do you have? (What
is the processor speed? You can check in "About This
Mac" in the Apple menu.)
-Doug
My ibook is dual USB G3 500mhz, i bought it recently in a mint physical condition.
i have already ordered a 60gb HD with Tiger on it.
i have external USB hard drives .... i can backup there.
i am new to Mac... so i want to learn about Mac on this ibook and then i will sell it and buy a new one.
i am upgrading this ibook with tiger, 60gb HD, Ram = 640 and combo drive.
i was able to use D-link USB DWL-G122 adapter to connect to my wifi network
but later i could not... cuz when i install USB driver from Raltink web site..... after downloading and installing
i am getting error that mounting has failed .
what does this mean and how can i fix it.
is it possible that i back up everything including OS on external USB HD, Erase everything from HD in ibook and reinstall backup .... may be old files of previous user are conflicting.
Again Questio is >> that can i reinstall OS from Backup cuz i dont have any OS CD.
if it is possible, what is the procedure of backup , erasing HD and then reinstallin
thanks for ur expertise help.

Hp pavillion g6-3325 us notebook pc/ cooling fan

Since installing the new windows 8 I have been getting an error message that states the cooling fan is not operating. I have replaced the cooling fan as of yesterday and now the same error still is being delayed. After letting the laptop cool for over 12 hours it started up and took me to an option that stated windows 8 did not start properly. I was on my way back to the technician who repaired the cooling fan and was not able to restart the laptop without loosing any data. It needed to be plugged in. Headed back home and restarted the laptop and it slowly began working. I have a bowl of ice under the cooling fan compartment so I can be on the internet and trouble shoot this problem.

I would recommend that you download and install the latest BIOS update for your computer.

That kind of problem requires sending it back to HP if you are under warranty. If not you have to replace the cooling fan, which is a pretty major job. The BIOS will not allow the laptop to boot into Windows if the cooling fan is dead. I can't tell you exactly how to do it because you don't tell us what kind of laptop you have.
