Cooling fan is not operating properly.

I am using hp pavilion dv6 3123 tx with windows 7 ultimate os installed. I recently updated the bios via hp support assistant and i don't know whether the bios is updated or not and after two days ,I got a message while booting the system that the cooling fan is not operating properly and it also shows the error message code (90b). Is it safe to use the laptop with a external cooler pad and my laptop is not getting heated too much while using with the cooler pad but before updating the bios too my laptop used to get overheated and it took time to boot. Before updating too i got blank screen while booting up and while playing games it hung too.
I don't know the error message occured was due to updation of bios or not and i also need to know can i use my laptop for final year project work with external cooler pad.can i give my laptop for service.

Hi,
You can try the steps from this link below and check if it helps. Moreover after that error comes up if you immediately hit enter the computer will load to windows. Once in Windows you can download the latest BIOS update as that from HP Support and Drivers and install it.

If problem continues then you may have to get the fan replaced. If the computer is still under warranty then you can call HP Tech Support for repair.
Note:

Xserve cooling fan's not working properly?

I have a slight problem with my XServe, it's an older PowerPC G4 (Dual 1.0Ghz) with 1.5GB RAM (3x 512MB).
The fan's make a lot of noice, and I don't mean just the "normal" noice you'd hear from the fan's but more a sound as if the fan's can't run properly.
according to Server Monitor, the fan's do run at quite regular speeds.
the machine only has the options for one extra 512MB RAM module and one extra HDD, further it's "as good as it gets" for this model.
I have the additional 512MB RAM module and I intended to put it in today, I noticed the noice when I started the machine as a test to make sure everything was OK before installing the additional 512MB, but it seems, it's not OK.
I got the machine (for free! ^_^) a while ago with some spare parts (basically, two Apple Care part kits, but without the HD's) which included two cooling fan's, so I can replace them.
that is, I could, if I'd know how....
I wonder though, if there really is something wrong, or that the sound is just because the system hasn't ran for a while.
it has been standing still for a few month I think, so it could be the fan's just need to "run in" a bit.
the sound also it not very much standing out, yet it is quite easy to hear there is some sound there which shouldn't be.

I had one of these units. It was a great machine but it was LOUD. The reason behind this was that the fans basically had one speed... FAST AND LOUD.
The latter units had variable speed fans and were a little more quieter.
It bothered me so much that I rigged the unit so the fans would only run at half the speed. It was useless though as the machine got pretty hot. Maybe if it was in an a/c data center it would be different.

Cooling Fan is not working properly

I have taken this laptop around one and half year back.iam getting cooling fan exception while starting the windows.Please tell me the solution.

Sometimes it is simply dirt,dust,pet hair,etc clogging the fan. Pick up a can of compressed air and blow out all of the vents, ports & other openings. Clean it really thoroughly, then check to see if any change before resorting to changing the fan.

'Cooling fan is not operating correctly' - System Fan (90B) - HP Envy 14 2002ea

Hi
I just bought this laptop off of someone and am having this error appear at startup. It only appears on fresh startup, not if I restart.
I can hear the fan working and it's not particularly noisy, although it is on continuously. Is this normal? I also have an Envy 14 1050ea and the fan in that is running quieter and also definitely cooler. Although the Envy 1050ea is i5 and the 2002ea is i7.
I thought it might need a BIOS uprade for the 2002ea but turns out the latest is already installed (F.0F).
Has anyone else had and/or managed to rectify this problem? Don't really want my laptop to melt on me...
Thanks

Try a hard reset. Remove battery and AC plug; hold down power button 30 seconds. Wait 30 seconds. Plug in AC. Power on. Also try going into the BIOS (F10) and reset to default settings. Lastly take a bent-out paperclip and stick it in the fan grille to hold it from spinning out of control. Now blow in some strong compressed air. If none of this works, the fan needs to be replaced. The part is cheap but it requires significant disassembly.

Message on bootong the laptop that cooling fan is not operating correctly

tell me ..how can I resolve my laptop problem

Bend out a paperclip and put it in the fan grille so it holds the fan blades. At the same time, take a can of compressed air and blow it in there. This may loosen a dust clog and allow the fan to spin correctly. If that does not work all you can do is disassemble the unit and replace the fan.

Fan is not operating

Dear Sirs,
I'm from São Carlos / SP / Brazil and I bought a TouchSmart Notebook HP ENVY 17-j041nr in Orlando at the Microsoft Store in Millenia Mall 30/10/2013.
However, the unit is experiencing the following error:
"The system has detected the cooling fan is not operating Correctly.
Continued operation is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behavior That Could Result in random shutdown, possible data loss or system damage. The system will shutdown in 15 seconds. To Prevent shutdown operation and continues operation, press the Enter key now.
System Fan <908> ENTER - Continue Startup "
The unit is still under warranty according to data from HP:
HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j041nr (response from the HP website: The following information is provided for your product)
Warranty Status: Covered under warranty Warranty end 10/30/2014 (YYYY-MM-DD) Date
I would like to know, please, what to do?
Best regards,

Hello Vadoalmeida,

I understand you have questions about warranty service for your ENVY 17-j041nr. The good news is that HP has a Global Warranty, but their are some restrictions. The Global Warranty basically means your product will receive warranty coverage based on the available coverage in your current location. For more detailed information you can view the Global Warranty and FAQs page.
For more specific information about the error you have you can view this document specifically for System Fan (90b) error message on startup. This document has a list of steps you can try before contacting support for service.
If the document above does not help you resolve the issue I would suggest contacting phone support for service options. You can contact support in Brazil at this phone number: 0-800-709-7751 - Support is only available in Portuguese for this region.
Hopefully this helps!

Will my PowerBook G4 12-Inch not boot if fan is not operational?

I'm just wondering, is there a boot disabler if fan is not operational?
I've been having fan problems lately. The fan blade was scraping up against the metal, making it sound like 1000 angry hornets were attempting to escape my laptop. But, last class, my PB just wouldn't start. I attempted a verbose boot in openfirmware but that did nothing. I thought it was a shot hard drive, and that isn't out of the question (hard drives don't last forever) But just a few minutes ago, right after the startup sound, I listened closely to my PB. I heard the fan turn on and off a few times then the grey screen came on and there was no fan noise anymore. The booting cannot pass the grey screen. No Apple logo, just a blank, grey screen. I can boot into OpenFirmware and I can also boot into the Startup Manager.
Any help with this is muchly appreciated,
-t

You may have seen this note about the gray screen at boot time.

Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan no longer operating efficiently

Hi,
I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
It runs at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but it hardly ever runs in high speed mode.
It clearly needs to as the air temperature is quite high... about the temperature of a typical vehicle's exhaust.
I'm worried it will burn itself up if I don't have it fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
I use a USB-powered "Chill-Pad" under it at all times to make it run cooler than factory settings, but this problem has only cropped up recently.
I've owned this computer for a little less than two years now.
About 5 months into ownership, the HDD failed and had to be replaced (needless to say, I backup ALL my important files now).
Does anyone have any information on this topic or the normal operation of the cooling fan?
If so, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Nick

Hi!
As Akuma said it could be that you have to more dust in the cooling ventilators or that the fan doesnt work properly.
So in your case I would try to clean first by using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators. You can buy it from a computer dealer.
If it doesnt work you should sent it to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and clean it.
Maybe the thermal grease must be renewed and the technicians can do this for you. Its a little bit tricky to disassemble a notebook and you must remove a lot of screws so sent it to an ASP.
Bye

Cooling fan is not working on Satellite Pro A300

Hi Everyone
I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, as their CPU Cooling Fan had stopped working even during POST bootup and the laptop would overheat and shutdown. So I thought it could one of three things:
# Fan is clogged with dust or dirt
# Fan bearing has failed
# Fan power cable was loose
So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/heatsink using compressed air and checked the power connection which was solid, but this did not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and heatsink with another one that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a fault motherboard because of the random bios boot-up password bug (out of warranty) but still no joy.
I am beginning to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather the motherboards cpu temperature sensor(s) that control the fan activation has failed.
Am I correct, in thinking that this is basically, irreparable without specialised tools and my friend will have content themselves with turning the system off every hourish or is there something else I am overlooking?
Thank you, for any help.

Hello
Im not a technician but for me it sounds like that fan connector is malfunctioning if you have already replaced the fan and therefore it would be necessary to replace the mainboard
Thats everything what I can say about this Have a look for second mainboard or notebook where you can get a cheap mainboard. Maybe it works. :)
