Cooling fan makes noise n laptop freezes

hi,
 i got a satellite -215 S4747
after i start my cooling fan starts making some noise as if its struggling to rotate, n within few minutes laptop freezez,,
i got it checked der was no dust or anything found on the fan..
pls help.

Is your model A215-S4747?  Support site here
If there is no dirt clogging the heat sink fins, and none in the fan blades, then it may be the fan itself is/has failed.  replace fan or attempt to relube existing fan.  search the internet on how to restore a fan by relubing.  I think replace would be better, and what you may ultimately have to do anyway.

    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.

  • Fan makes noise

  • Fan makes noise, even after erase-install?

    I have an iMac running tiger 4.5. The other day, I had kind of a bluescreen-scenario while to find a USB memory-plug on the desktop. The macine wouldn´t restart properly, not even in Safe Mode. While trying this, the fan started roaring, and never stopped.
    I started the iMac up as a firewire-item, which allowed me to make a backup of important files. Then i booted from install disks, running disk repair on Disk Utility until it said no repairs necessary. That didn´t help my startup issue, and the fans were still going. Tried archive install, didn´t help either. Finally, did erase install. The iMac then started up with a "brand new" desktop - but the fans are still noisy like an airplane from the second I push the startbutton.
    Called Apple Support, they suggested the running fan was a hardware thing, but I find that hard to believe, as the fan-problem occured while I was solving what I found to be a software issue. Any suggestions on this one, or should I bring the machine to professionals right away?

    Have you tried running hardware test?
    (Install DVD/CD...hold option key as mac restarts)
    ...Just to rule out the possibility that there may have been an underlying harware issue that caused you sofware challenges.

  • Macbook Pro (Cooling Fan?) Noise - Now Louder!

    A few weeks ago my macbook pro started making a noticeably louder noise (I suspect the fan). Now it has started to get louder over the course of a minute until it sounds like it gives up and the macbook goes silent! Can someone advise me on what to do?!

    You may perform a SMC reset:

    If that does not solve the problem, run an Apple Hardware test to see if that will give any clues:

  • Fan makes noises

    when I bought my my macbook air I have never experienced this problem before but after couple of months then I started noticing this problem.
    when I am working on my macbook air sometimes it is all quiete, however, unexpectedly there is a weird fan noise even for 20 to 30 minutes , and I do not know whether it's normal or not.

    normal,when you doing some light CPU load works,the fan isn't work, so no noise from mac.but if you doing some heavy CPU load works the CPU temp becomes high, so the fan is working , you can hear some noise

  • My HP-HDX-18-1200 has a cooling fan making noise on startup after being off for overnight.

    I don't have any documentation which shows how to open up the unit and change that fan.  If documentation is availble please either post the pdf or send to me please.
    I can change the fan, as I have been building PC for 20 years.

    Hi,
    You might try looking at this document.  It is the Maintenance and Service Manual for the HDX-18 series, it's not listed under manuals for your model, so it may not be exactly right, but it should be close since it is listed for earlier versions of hte HDX-18 series.

  • How much noise should my G4 fan make?

    I recently purchased a second hand G4 iMac flat-panel (for my kids to use so they'd leave my Intel iMac alone!). In contrast to the Intel iMac, which is virtually silent, the G4 cooling fan makes noticeable noise, which increases in volume over time - the longer the system is running the louder the fan gets, presumably because it's working harder to cool the system. I've installed Temperature Monitor, and note that the internal temperature gets as high as 104 F. Is the fan noise and temperature level normal for this model of iMac? It's not wind-tunnel loud, just noticeable. I've worked on other G4s that didn't really have a noticeable fan noise. Thanks for any help/advice.

    Hi Budzilla,
    The fan on my G4 iMac has also got louder and louder. I heeded AxL's advice that it was probably caused by a build up of dust and today decided to open it up for a thorough clean.
    It wasn't too difficult, if you're reasonably competent and take things slowly and carefully. I won't post a full explanation here (I'm sure there are plenty of detailed descriptions elsewhere) but briefly, I removed the baseplate, unscrewed the main base from the dome and vacuumed out the logic board area. Then removed the drive to access the fan and gave that a good clean too. There was a lot of dust!
    You'll be pleased to hear that once reassembled, the fan was virtually silent and is now only just audible after an hour or so of activity. In fact, my external firewire is noiser!
    In conclusion, well worth the 30 minutes it took and if you don't fancy the DIY approach, a good repair shop should be able to carry out the same procedure while you wait.
    Hope this helps,
    Graham.

  • My compaq presario desktop hangs after working for while.cpu fan also makes noise.?

    I did clean the dust but still fan makes noise and after starting the system it hangs.say may be after 10 min....what could be the problem ?

    The ST5402FH is circa 2008. Here's how to measure a fan. Although the example is for a 92mm, it's likely your CPU fan is 80mm. Use the guide to learn how to meaure the fan, so you can order it.
    The CPU fan is a 4 pin PWM fan. It's RPM is critical. Order too slow a fan, and your system will not boot. You can use the free HWMonitor to check the current RPM ranges. It will show 2 fans, just disconnect the rear case fan (3 pin) temporarily to determine which is the CPU fan.

  • USB Cooling fan

    I recently bought a USB "cooling fan" for my old laptop and tried it to my macbook pro to test if its working, just when i plugged it suddenly my macbook shutdown and won't start anymore. I tried the cooling fan on my old laptop and it's working properly. Did some of you experienced this?

    After many years of service case fans die an ugly death and there is nothing for them but replacement. As you seem to be doing many upgrades, a new fan would be advisable anyway.
    I have seen the LED fan mod done before. You may have to cut the connector from the old fan and adapt the new one with it though. The MASSCOOL LED fan
    would seem to be a good candidate as it has a quite good CFM rating for it's given noise level.

  • GT80 Titan Cooling Fans are on frequently than before

    I just purchased the new 18 inch Titan and love it. However, I just started noticing the that the fans that use to come on infrequently and very quiet are now coming on more frequently. I have a cooling fan that sits underneath laptop there is nothing blocking or constricting the air ways. The laptop is turned off longer as I returned to a longer work day, and the temp in the home is in the low to mid 60s.
    Is this something I should be worrying about? I have been frequently using the air duster on the laptop. Oh, I have only had the new monster machine for about a month.

    Hi, how about updating BIOS and EC firmware to latest version?
    Also maybe you have installed some resident programs in the background? Anti-virus and Windows auto update would also work in the background.
    You can try to recover the OS to factory default and observe its status.
    Using Shift feature to switch to Green mode might do some help when you only at office mode.

  • Vaio E series - Cooling Fan noise

    Hello, 2 weeks ago I bought Vaio E series.  I was very excited that I will have Vaio laptop. It was like my dream wish. According to our standard, we are poor country and the Vaio laptops are extremely expensive. But, Vaio laptops are know for high quallity laptops and great support from Sony. So, I bought it. I am very satisfied with the quality. But I have one problem. The cooling fan is making a lot of noise even the CPU usage its 10 %. I have the latest BIOS version. So, Sony I am expecting from you to release a new BIOS update fixing this issue.. I dont want to start thinking that I pay a lot of money only for the name. With that money I could buy a more powerful machine but I put my trust in Sony. The model number is Model # SVE17122CXB. PS. Don't say that I should go to service center because they can do nothing. I am an IT student and I know how this stuff works. And I dont  want the fact that the new laptop will be repaired. So the only solution is BIOS update. Sony, do not make me regret that I have chosen you before other brands. 
    I am expecting a positive feedback.

    t0n1,
    Engineering came back saying that fan speed control is not supported on the SVE17 hardware so there is no way on this model to control the fan speed manually.  I apologize for suggesting this initially, at the time I did not have your exact model at my desk but instead I had a very similar one (SVE14A)
    I also received two SVE17 notebooks and both have extremely quiet fan (especially if CPU usage is very low).  Loud fan noise is not a characteristic of this model.
    If you feel that the fan on your SVE17 is abnormally loud, then you have two options at this point:
    1) You can make a audio/video recording of this fan noise and post it for me to review; after that i can try to give you more suggestions or let you know if this is in fact normal or not.  At this time you do not mention that your computer is shutting off, so the unit is not overheating.
    2) Or you can consider service.  (I realize you initially refused service in your original post, but sometimes some new thermal sheets or re-seating of the heat-sink can address these issues.
