Fan is no longer working

Hi there, 
When I turn on my laptop, this is the message I am receiving:
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.
The question I have is, if I buy a laptop cooler or external fan will this help my laptop function? Or is it too late for that now?
Obviously I want to fix this problem fast but I cant afford to spend loads of money and I dont want to loose all my data. Please could you advise me on the question above? 
Thank You
Becky

If you continue to run the computer without the fan functioning you will cook your computer.  It is not too late.  Check if the fan is not stuck and still connected.  Cleaning it may help.
If still no go, change the fan.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

  • Z77 mpower cpu fan header "control" no longer working

    CPU fan header now only works with 3 pin fans, 4 pin fans turn off when placed on header, do not turn on. I had been running a hub off of that port to a switch 8 port fan hub controlling all case fans and a pump. cable to header  only had sensor and control, power was through molex, pump which was master only had same.  I had hot swapping on, had added a HDD reported bad by raid in another tower in a hotswap drive tray (hot swap on in bios)  was going to check it out in seatools. tower crashed on add. rebooted, when running seatools noticed temps way out of line 70-90c normal temps even under load 60c or less. noticed tower was quite, noticed no fans turning.  booted to BIOS checked reported no RPM fans not spinning in health changed options, did not help thought hub may have died.  powered down unplugged and plugged pump into cpu header. power back up fans running, but still high temps cpu header shows 0 rpm. shut down move pump to sysfan 1, reboot powers up pump on temps good. pump running at 100%  speed had never seen it running like that on sysfan 1 even when told to. reboot try 4 pin fan in cpu tries to spin for jet a sec then nothing. reboot try 3 pin, fan powers up spins shows in pc health.  reset to default, tried 4 pin no good, switched to older bios, rebooted no good, reset cmos no good…. any ideas forum wizards? I would really like to regain control so i can throttle fans/pump.
    note bad HDD was pulled before swapping headers….

    1) I find it strange it does not effect the other 4 pin headers do they just not use the control line despite it being there?
    2) i do find it odd that prior to this running the pump directly on sysfan2 i could never get it to go to 100% only 50%, since this happened it stays at 100% on sysfan2
    1) CPU_Fan has its own circuit.
    http://www.swiftech.com/8-WayPWMsplitter.aspx
    We generally recommend to use the “CPU_Fan” connector of the motherboard,because most motherboard manufacturers usually allow a greater range of adjustments on this particular connector.
    2) probably the Voltage Contol is damaged too (if they get the max voltage (12V), they stay at 100%).

  • [Helix] Panel replaced twice digitizer dead and hdmi no longer working

    hi all,
    Appologies for the length, but despite my frustrations over aspects of the helix (fan, heat, digitzer not always working etc) I've been happy that I'd bought the device as a "right choice", hence the high level of frustration at things going differently...
    3-4 weeks ago my helix started suffering with up to half the screen no longer working (from simply black to an interference style pattern).  At this stage HDMI out worked as did the digitzer, even if I couldn't see what the pen would click on.
    I phoned up the CH support line (in English) and ended up with a number of nice call center people who said I'd have an engineer out for the next business day.  I then had a period of 3 days without being called, and after chasing on the support was informed a part had been ordered.  Two days later I had a visit from the engineer.
    The on-site engineer, like the call staff, was very nice (even in the face of having to sit in a restaurant to look at the panel).  He returned the device the next day with a brand new panel.  However I then discovered the digitzer wasn't working.
    A week later after a series of remote software installations and bios upgrades another on-site engineer came out.  He too was very pleasent, and was also visibily irratated that the digitzer didn't work after yet another panel swap.
    In all cases I had to chase the support to find out what the current status was.  This I find to be poor customer service - a simple email or status page would have been great and let me know even a little of what was going on.
    Whats worse service is that I still, after chasing again, have no idea what course of action I should take.  One option the engineer gave was to send the device away for up to 4 days (to esag), or perhaps order a new motherboard or other piece....
    This is my first, and at this rate probably my last thinkpad, so I have no idea what I should expect and no great deal of confidence despite the clear best intentions of those with whom I've interacted that even if I send it away I'll get a fixed laptop back.  The knowledge on helix's in ch simply seems to low.
    Does anyone here, lenovo guys of course included, have any clues as to what I can expect / what my next actions should be?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    well to answer my own question and make sure others know to stay away from Helix / possibly Lenovo...
    I had the machine replaced.  The DOA team and the lenovo team were again great, I can't state this clearly enough.  But they are helping on a badly made / designed / engineered product.  It overheats, the pen stops working (usb device not recognized etc), could be the flex in the screen but its definitely a hardware problem.
    The replacement came, worked for 2 weeks and then died.  Then I had to go through the same remote support - install everything - process as before.   Again, as before, the machine was simply not functioning.
    The replacement got replaced.  The new one worked for 6 weeks before it started happening again.  As of last week the pen no longer works at all, same as before.
    Off to start another round of attempting to get a replacement or this time a refund.
    Again to be clear, there is only one device on the market that has the same functionality as this - the Fujitsu, and I love the functionality and the excellent keyboard, but I can't really rely on the machines quality at all.  
    More accurately I can only rely on the lack of build quality :<

  • Red Giant transitions no longer work in Mac OS 10.9.5

    I recently updated my Mac Pro to 10.9.5 and now my Red Giant Universe transitions, such as Swish Pan (works like Wind Blur in Final Cut) have all stopped working.  Not only do they no longer work, but they make my project crash and I have to create a copy of the project.  Has anyone else had this experience?  Is there any way to fix it?

    My two cents-- I'm a fan of Red Giant and have a bunch of their products but Universe has been a dud in my opinion.  Didn't upgrade to the premium version but kept it installed just to kick the tires and it's been a total headache.  Finally uninstalled it.
    May not be Red Giant's issue per se, but for whatever reason all my Adobe stuff runs better without it.

  • HP OMEN Control Software No Longer Works After Windows 10 Upgrade

    HP OMEN Control no longer works after the recent Windows 10 update. Profile switching, keyboard LED colors, zones, fn key options, etc. no longer respond at all. I've found references to this issue during Windows 10 beta testing. Is there a temporary workaround? Will there be a driver update to remedy this problem? Thanks.

    I just purchased a new 2015 refurbished PC.  It worked great with Windows 8.1.   Upon installing Windows 10, The Omen control did not work as well as the fan.  Really - hardware failure.  Give us a break.  So, I went back to Windows 8.1. Also this year, I purchased an Envy X2.  This PC included a bluetooth keyboard that kept detatching.  Again - REALLY, the keyboard doesn't work.  That's a pretty important part of the PC.  I searched the forum for answers and all I found was the same old line that HP was working on it.  I found meesages over a year old that had this same  problem. So, back it went to Best Buy.  I used to really like HP computers, but now, I can't say that anymore. So, do I trust HP to fix this in a timely manner, NO.  Why - because they had to know about this issue alrady for quite a while.  And, they did not fix it.  I really hope they prove me wrong.!! I will give them 1 more week to fix it.  After that, the PC will be returned.  And HP PCs will be off my scratched off my list, except maybe the HP Spectre X360.  To my amazement, I am even considering a MacBook Pro.  Funny thing - the Spectre X360 is supposed to be a great laptop,  But, Microsoft was heavily involved in the design process.  That is certainly not an HP confidence buider. HP - THIS IS YOUR TIME TO "STEP UP TO THE PLATE" and fix this mess.  TImes like these are opportuniies to win over customers or loose customers to the competiion.  I really want to keep this PC.  It is by your response to this problem that will determine the outcome.

  • PCS no longer working with contacts and 6086

    I have applied the latest release of PC Suite 6.84.10.3.
    Previously the installed level was 6.83.14.1
    The send/read/write message still doesn't work but hangs the Windows Explorer for a while (this hang didn't occur previously)
    But now, the contact facility no longer works. It is no longer possible to edit a contact, to store it locally or to send it to the phone even a message says everything is OK
    (translate it from french: The contact has been well recorded into the phone)
    Folder browsing still works correctly, either the phone folder or the memory card folder
    Need a fix or a way to install the previous version, at least for the contacts...
    This is a really negative feedback!

    I guess what I learned is that sometimes the best solution is to do nothing and wait for the problem to solve itself! Funny, this has never worked for me before.
    WOT is now working for me but often for only the first few rows of images. That's cool that it is also working with bing images.
    Boudica, thanks for understanding. I am new contributor/ question-asker here on mozilla and may not understand how things are done. I was just frustrated, getting an email saying that my question was answered, logging in to find that it wasn't.
    Now we have the functionality that we wanted, right?

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

  • IPod Apps no longer work, Music disappears, Fix?

    QUESTION : How to fix permanently the “iPod Touch Breakdown“?
    (seems identical to the iPhone “Breakdown“)
    Since I upgraded to 2.0.2, running iTunes 7.7.1 (11) on a MacBook Pro G4, I keep having big trouble with Apps, Music and Films.
    Here is what I call the “iPod Touch Breakdown“:
    - Apps won’t start : the iPod would go back to the home screen after a few seconds.
    - Music and Films disappear (My music consists essentially of personnal CDs).
    - (for me Photos are still there)
    - all original Apple Apps work OK
    This is a known problem, also occuring on the iPhone with many posts on the iPhone discussions forum (see “iPhone“/“Installing and Using iPhone Applications“/“iPhone Applications no longer work“. At the time I write this messge, this question has been viewed 16,080 times ( ) (*) and there have been 319 replies: probably a sad record for a single question, which means that THERE REALLY IS A BASIC PROBLEM.
    My iPod is a 8Gb purchased while staying in Pasadena, almost a year ago. I was extremely happy to use it more and more like a PDA (updates 2.0.1 and 2.0.2).
    There have been some fixes proposed on the discussions forum (iPhone) that I tried and I have tried myself a couple more. NONE of them could fix the problem permanently: all fixes have been working for a day or two, no more. Untill you download an App (even an update) and you get the “Breakdown“ again.
    As other users, I have noted a slowdown in anything I am doing (e.g. typing text) just before the Apps stop working and the music disappears. (see for instance Truth42 on iPhone Forum (Applications no longer work), Posted: Aug 25, 2008 10:57 AM)
    Fixes: typically you get to disinstall and then reinstall all your Apps. Each time, you lose all your Apps parameters (bad for data bases and notes).
    Two ways:
    see iPhone forum: Aveonz Posted: Aug 24, 2008 3:16 AM :
    1- sync using iTunes
    2- in iTunes/Store: deauthorize your account
    3- sync
    4- authorize
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    (the whole process may take several hours; I have also done a reboot between 3 and 4)
    (ii) proposed by various people :
    1- deselect all applications
    2- sync
    3- disconnect your iPod and reboot it (pressing both buttons simultaneously for several seconds – see Apple site) (you keep you parameters, WiFi, etc)
    4- select the Apps you want back
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    In the end you can use the Apps you have reloaded, but just for a few days (or hours)… until you cannot resist downloading a new App, or simply just download an App update. It won’t breakdown instantly after you do that, but it will very soon.
    I certainly would take any procedure to fix this definitely. However, the best choice is probably to use as few third party Apps as possible (none is better) and wait for 2.1. Hopefully Apple is working on this, and we’ll get a definite fix very soon. This actually makes a very bad press for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
    Sadly,
    because I think iPod Touch and iPhone are beautiful machines –but for how long? Competition is tough…
    Cheers
    (*) about this number 16,080, obviously not all of the viewers experienced the “Breakdown“, but most were just curious to know. Still, the good question is to know how many of us, using the iPhone and iPod Touch experience this bug (virus?) and why some have it and not others (and in which proportion?).

    Same issue here since updating to 2.0.2; Is there a way to back I wonder?
    So I plugged back in my iPod touch and,...
    0. make a note of all your music, movies, photos, apps selections to restore
    1. cancel connect attempt to iTunes store (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    2. cancel attempts to sync or backup (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    3. clicked <OPTION>[Restore] once selecting my iPod touch device
    4. navigate to <home>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Udpates/
    5. pick the prior update: iPod1,12.0.1_5B108Restore
    6. then waited through iPod window status displays
    'Preparing iPod software for restore...'
    'Restoring iPod software...'
    'Verifying iPod Software...'
    7. OK the 'Your iPod has been restored to factory settings,...'
    8. Ssync process did NOT automatically being so I unplugged & plugged it
    (I did verify that 2.0.1 was loaded seeing the App Store)
    9. Pick 'Set up as a new iPod'; don't pick an earlier backup point
    (mostly 'cause I couldn't be sure which was a good failsafe).
    10. iTunes then begin setup of my [ahem] new iPod.
    STOP IT; it'll try and do restore everything. Then navigate the tabs for
    your iPod and re-select those things you want (music,photos,movies,apps,etc)
    So like any computer you need to keep proper backups.
    The apple s/w system updater appears to do just that automatically, thanks! Of course it would've been nice to have had the 2.0.2 version tested a bit more before its release.
    IMHO the host (mac) should have kept my prefs for the iPod rather than my resorting to handwritten notes but at least I'm back to normal. Consider when replacing an iPod how you'd want the replacement to be a mirror of its predecessor.
    Oh, skip future requests to update to 2.0.2 until Apple can get his sorted out.
    HTH

  • TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

    iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

    Marcello, I am having the same problem.  When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
    I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini. 
    I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

  • Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

    My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

    The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
    I copied this from another discussion.
    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
    Here is the discussion.

  • ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

    iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114.  Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes.  iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
