Fan how to tell if it works? What test can I do? G62-a17SA

How to tell if the fan works? it works when Laptop powered up, but no other times.
I've had it less than a year, and customer services, wont fix it unless I mail the receipt, which I cant find. i called the next day and said I will pay for it to be looked at, and replaced if needed. The price was £223.94. Which is 51% of the price I paid for the laptop originally, so I left it.
I need to know if my laptop is save to use. It can get hot, I'm worried it could start a fire. The fan only comes on when I boot the laptop up, no other times. What software can I use to tests to see if it functions properly? then I know if i will have to pay to send it away. (not a dust or venting problem) also its a instant sudden one
Please help

    my sons ipod is disabled from trying password to many times my usb port on my computer does not work. what else can i do to get this disabled off my sons ipod please help!!!

    The only thing you can do is place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes on a computer. It is a good security feature.

  • My ipad has stopped connecting to wifi, a reset hasn't worked, what else can I try? (the wifi is fine as other apple products connect ok)

    My ipad has stopped connecting to wifi, a reset hasn't worked, what else can I try? (the wifi is fine as other apple products connect ok)

    Have you tried a 'hard reset'. You do not lose any of your data on the iPad.
    Here are the steps:
        Press the Power Buton and the Home button simultaneously.
        Continue to hold down both buttons until the iPad shuts off
        Release the buttons when the Apple Logo appears.
    Also, make sure your iPad is not in airplane mode. Settings, Airplane mode is the first option under settings,
    Hope this helps.

  • How to tell EAX is working

    is there anyway besides guessing to tell that EAX is working? I am using Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and I am curious if anyone knows if there is a log file generated when EAX is working or not. I understand full well how to use Alchemy but I am not sure about older games. Any thoughts? If I configure Alchemy correctly, then I do not know how to tell if I am successful 00% of the time. The game may sound good, but am I getting the legacy effects or did the developers just do a good sound capture?
    Thanks for the thoughts,

    from what i know games can use EAX through openal. also openal can be used by some higher-level libraries like fmod. a good example which was already mentioned here is bioshock which used fmod, openal and eax. a game could also be coded in a way that it uses EAX hardware processing but it doesn't have to be explicitly selectable in the options.
    i think we can blame both game developers and creative for not enough info on the subject.
    when a game comes out and uses the next new shiny dx we all know that long before release.
    there is much less information about how sound is produced by a game besides "it supports 5./7."
    i think someone from creative should post an extensi've clarification on the subject.

  • I can not get like music players to work on my computer it says that i need windows media player plugin and well i got it didnt work what else can i do!

    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi Lindsay.
    The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc] explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.
    Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\'''). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.
    Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

  • How to tell if RH working or hung up

    Quick facts: have RoboHelp 7, single CPU with ½-GB RAM,
    created Primo PDF from Word, no problemo, then graphic artist
    created .pdf with Mac InDesign and EPS graphics, tired to import
    into new RoboHelp project, tried converting graphics into JPG, GIF
    and PNG, gave up after ½ hour with no RoboHelp response; no
    files created in project folder, no response to closing RoboHelp,
    can’t get other applications like Outlook or Word to open
    while RoboHelp is importing:
    9) Is RoboHelp hung while importing his PDF?
    10) How long does a 125 page PDF with 85 EPS images take to
    import?
    11) Can I see if RoboHelp is actually working in Task
    Manager?

    +I'd like to connect an ethernet cable to my main router so that I can get faster backup from the iMac (which is always wired to the router).+
    +My question is this: Once I wire the Time Capsule to the main router, how can I tell if the iMac is backing up wired (by ethernet cable) or wirelessly? Is there some way to tell by looking in Network Preferences or some other place?+
    If the iMac is always wired to the router, you would normally turn wireless off on the iMac since there is no reason to have it on. Fewer wireless connections equals fewer changes for some type of wireless interference to enter your network.
    +Does it matter whether I plug the iMac into the Time Capsule or main router?+
    If you connect the Time Capsule to your main router using ethernet, you need to connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the router to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule and configure the Time Capsule as a "bridge" as follows:
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Wireless Mode = Off (I assume that your other router is creating your wireless)
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Once you have the Time Capsule configured, you can plug the iMac into any open LAN <-> port on either your router or the Time Capsule.

    I looked at their "Instructions"  I talks about compatability, logo placement , sountrack,  text changes--nothing that indicates what to import!

    Unfortunately, this only works if the program writes to standard
    error if there is an error. Some programs (which I have no control
    over) do not - what I really want is access to the status variable.
    What I did is wrapper the programs like above and, if the status
    variable is set, then I write to an error file. This is a
    non-portable solution, I would think. Currently on a Unix platform.
    I was hoping the runcommand would return the status variable or
    equivalent.
    Thanks.

  • How can I turn off geo-locator? I have done the fix that I found but it doesn't work - what else can I do?

    I have done this and turned it to false (hope that's right)
    • In the URL bar, type about:config
    • Type geo.enabled
    • Double click on the geo.enabled preference
    • Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
    But google is still putting me at a location unsuitable for my browsing requirements. I want to browse .co.uk not .fr. for business as well as personal. Please help it is very time consuming even when I type .co.uk google changes it back to .fr
    Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

    "Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.<br />
    Otherwise a reverse DNS look up of your IP is used and that is usually not very accurate.<br />
    Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.<br />

  • Yes i send in a question about my ipad not coming on got anwear back but still isnt work,has been plug in but well not come on at all nothing .tryed to reset that dosent work,what else can i do ,help needed thank you

    i sent in a question yesterday about my ipad not coming on ,got a anwear back to try and it still dosent come on it had been plug in ,also tryed diff plug still nothing only had it 6 months
                                                                            thank you hope you can help

    I was in the exact same situation. I completed the order online, waited five days, and eventually called them back to be told that my order was still processing. I told them to cancel it, and I would retry. I ordered it again the next week, and it all happened again. They offered to escalate it and have it processed manually, but it could take another 48 hours. I told them to forget it.
    The next week, I activated a single line on my own account. It worked flawlessly. I ordered around 4:00 PM, and it showed up around 4:00 PM the next day. The difference was that I activated a single line on a new account, as opposed to activating another line on another account.
    It was a headache, and believe me, I know how you feel. Verizon representatives are more of a headache than they are actual help. Their hands are always tied, and everything has to be escalated.

  • How do get imessages to work? I can't get it to activate on my ipad3. It says no internet connection or retry, but I do have it turned on; using Wi-Fi.

    I go and sign into my account as if I was signing into my itunes. I believe my account for ipad is the same as for the itunes; correct or not? In need of some help!

    Hi Ba25, when you post a question, it helps those trying to answer if you lay out step by step exactly what you tried to do, what happened etc. You are then more likely to get helpful responses, so people don't have to try and join the dots ;-)
    When you say you "go and sign into your account"... do you mean in settings on your iPad?
    On your iPad, you need to go to Settings app, select Messages. Check that iMessage is turned on.
    The 'Receive At' address should be your Apple ID email address. If not, change it to be that.
    Then go to the Message app. Try sending a new message to someone who also has iMessage up and running.
