Fan issue making noise and heating issue

Hi,
My laptop fan is making noise like a car engine.Earliar i did nott realize it but since winters are here i can hear it clearly coz ciealing fan is not under use now.Also my laptop is quite heated below.I have read that dust can accumulate in vents but i cant see any.Also my previous laptop got killed becoz of this same issue.Hp should do something about it.Can a layman like me open the dv-4 version and clean the fan? It is out of warranty now and i dont want to spend on shop.But i saw a video HP laptops are complicated to open....and close.Watevr other advice u r most welcome to give regarding yhis issue.
thanks

HP notebooks tend to run hot & thermal control is minimal effort in design & materials.
You can try clening with compressed air or a hoover perhaps but if looks clean & air sems to be flowing I expect it not the main issue.
You may also want to check running processes & CPU use as issues here & viruses can causes CPU load thus heat.
Also review notebook placed so vents are not blocked/restricted.
Use software such as HWinfo to review the actual temps of CPU GPU etc as helps see how much of an issue you really have.
HP laptops can be improved with thermal shims, ceramique paste, housing vent modifications & in extreme cases secondary case venting 25>30mm fan.
Not easy to do without some experience.

2011 MBP Fan Noise and Heat Concern

I have a 13 in. MBP with the i5 processor and it seems that everytime I start up: netflix, watch youtube, browse a certain website (soundcloud), or run any of my CS5 programs, the fans rpms shoot up, it heats up and I can even hear the CPU working like crazy. I'm wondering if these are common symptoms or indicative of a faulty processor or of poor internal cooling (ie. the heat sink or fans). I also have reason to believe that this issue has caused my battery cycles to prematurally increase past 1000 since I got this machine in the summer of 2011. Does anybody have any advice on what steps I should take to resolve this issue without breaking the bank if it is not a faulty processor?

Stop using Chrome and it's associated software. It is running your CPU usage way up.
Heat will not cause battey cycles to increase, but programs that are using too many CPU cycles like Chrome is will certainly run down the battery quickly - heat or no heat.
You can't hear a CPU working.

IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
Biggest Issue:
I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The Bluescreen error code on my error code reader).. This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter. I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy.. Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
Minor Issues (but could be related)
1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue... Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..

Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
- Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
- Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
- Graphics and video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
Please help me.
ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

Aperture Noise and processing issues

So I've finally got down to processing the same Raw file of a Canon 1Ds and exporting it from Aperture as a .psd. I've taken the same raw processed in PhotoshopCS2 and saved as a .tif.
The shot is over a creek just after a snow. Gray water and trees covered with snow. I have to say, there is such an obvious inferior difference with Aperture full of color noise, color moire, even the image definition is worse. The photosho image is soooo much better that I must be doing something wrong, but I've been preparing images for prepress now for many years. The noise in the water is unacceptable. I could not turn this image in. I will have to do some other tests, but this really surprises me.

I saw this post in another thread as well, and trust me I am not trying to get an argument started. I only want information. I read reviews for all sorts of gear and sw, and sometimes I never see the same issues everyone else is seeing due to my experience or knowledge. So, I went to the ARS site, downloaded each set of files that was shot with the Nikon (not Canon since I don't own a Canon) and reviewed them to see if I could see the issues.
Cat Photo
The Capture One image seems to have the least noise. Just at first glance, it seems to be the most appealing. It is softer, but less noisy than either ACR or Aperture.
Aperture and ACR seem to have equal noise, although the Aperture noise is different, seeming to have a bit of color (green) to it. But they seem close to me.
the Aperture image seems harsh in that is has edge enhancement or too much sharpening.
Football Image
Again, the C1 image has the least noise and looks the "best" to me. There is still a great deal of noise in the black sky, but less than either of the other two.
Once again, the Aperture image, if zoomed into the QBs head, has noise that has green color to it.
Looking at ACR and Aperture side by side, ACR looks better to me, but it seems to be a color issue as well, so some of that might be correctable.
Dog Image
To be perfectly honest, I saw no real differences in these images.
So the post said they were much worse, and from what I see, I don't see the dramatic differences that everyone is talking about. I see almost as much difference between C1 and ACR as the others.
I am not looking to get flamed, but I would like to know what others are considering dramtic flaws so I can get a better idea of what I am not seeing. I am not saying that is not the case, only that my less expereiced eye doesn't see it.
I am not a pro photographer, so I probably am missing something. But since there is a site that has some images we can all use for comparison, why not some objective talk about those images? It is easy to post "My images look horrible with Aperture but great with ACR" but lets use these images to point out to the lesser of us exactly what we are talking about.
And really, lets try to avoid 300% crops to prove the point.

Re: NB200 - Making noise and screen goes blank

Hi
My notebook is making pitched noise and the screen becomes blank. Please help with this issue.
Thanks

When that happens, does Windows still run in the background? Can you still see a faint image on the screen?
If yes, then the screen may be faulty (I don't think there is an FL Inverter since its an LED Backlit screen).
If no, then it may be the motherboard.

Screen making noises and hairline crack... Help?!

I have an iPhone 6... On Monday when I touched my screen, I noticed that it was making noise when I pushed down on it on the left side of the screen. I immediately booked an appointment for this Saturday to get to a genius bar to get the phone looked at. I had this issue before with an iPhone 5S and the phone got replaced because I was told that they could not replace the screen as it would damage the finger print sensor. However today my phone has suddenly developed a hairline crack at the top of the screen over the front camera. I haven't dropped it or smashed it against anything. I have a screen protector on the phone and a case which confused me a little. I have my appointment with Apple tomorrow and I'm wondering what will happen. I'm more worried about the crack if anything! There is no other damage on the phone as I've had a screen protector and case on it from day one. Also the phone is still functioning as it always has. Any ideas anyone?

Since you've confirmed the device has physical damage, and since physical damage is not covered under the Apple hardware warranty, be prepared to pay either a $109 USD + tax fee to replace the screen or a $299 USD + tax out-of-warranty fee for whole unit replacement, depending on the results of Apple's inspection and the decision made by the Apple Store. You may get free service, but set your expectations to pay because of the physical damage, so that if you are given a better option, it is a pleasant surprise.
By the book, a damaged device, regardless of how it is damaged, involves some form of out-of-warranty cost, unless you have AppleCare Plus. In that case, you usually pay a deductible of $79 USD + tax.

Fan or hard disc issue/bad noise and lock up

Hi!
I have got this really annoying problem. After some time on, my powerbook spins up. I do not know if it is the fan or the hard disc. Then the computer goes thinking and I can not do anything just right after. Then I have to turn it off. I have tried resetting pmu and reinstalling mac os X without success. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem or if I should hand it over to technicians as it might be a hardware problem?
Powerbook G4 1.5ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, kefas. Your 1.5GHz Powerbook is Aluminum, not Titanium. For the best suggestions from other people who are familiar with your model, you will want to repost in the 15" Aluminum PB discussions area. Good luck!

Also i got 3 unknown devices
2) The second issue is I keep hearing some glitching noise from time to time when i watch videos or listen to music. I have read that this may be caused by the HP Support Assistant, but i didn't install it.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hinge and heating Issues with my G560

I am facing the following issues with my G560. It was purchased on 11/26/2010.
Overheating - The laptop heats up and turns off after a continuous usage of 2-3 hours.
Hinges - The plastic portion covering the hinges came off within 6 months. I continued using the laptop and now the metal hinge has come out and the wires have come out and I think the hinge may have been broken as well since I see a metal portion protruding below the monitor.
Can someone help me understand how to get these fixed.

Rajesh,
Welcome to the forum. I received your private message with additional information and based on your indicated purchase date, the system should be under warranty.
Since you are in warranty, both of these issues should be able to be addressed by service. The hinge sounds like it should be covered unless the system were dropped or otherwise incurred damage from use.
The number to call for support is 877-453-6686
Please follow up with me by private message if you need more help on this after calling support.
Apologies that you have troubles, but I feel confident that we should be able to resolve them.
Best regards,
Mark

Z4 Tablet and heating issues with Snapdragon 810 chipset

There is now clear evidence coming out of serious overheating problems with the Z4 phone in Asia, which has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset as the Z4 tablet. These overheating issues have been widely publicised with phones released already with this chipset by other manufacturers.Will Sony guarantee these issues will not occur with the larger Z4 Tablet (it's larger size may help dissipate heat, possibly)?If not, I wonder if I should be cancelling my pre-order

No overheating issues here after two weeks of heavy use. There is a spot that gets rather warm in the top middle (landscape) when really pushing it; but it's no worse than I've experienced with my iPads (for comparison). Battery life is excellent. I run it without a case, which I highly recommend. The type of plastic they use doesn't mar easily and is comfortable in the hand. I play games on it quite a bit.

No fan noise and heating up

Hey to all,
I have a macbook pro running on leopard since a few months.
I was reading this topic about high noise of the fan nad heating up on the left side (above and below.
Well i have the same thing ( heating up that is)but "NO FAN NOISE".
Since i dont hear anything, meaning that the fan doesnt work at all?
Should i be worried?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
Greets,
Pedro

You should never be worried - it's not good for you!
If you are concerned I think the first step should be downloading and installing the "iStat Pro" widget, easily located in the downloads section of Apple's web site. It will show you up-to-the-second system-wide temperatures as well as the speed of your fans.
It may be that you just haven't been doing anything with your system that taxes its resources enough to cause the fans to ramp up.

Strange noises and booting issues

Hi,
My MacBook froze up this afternoon and started making strange clicking noises that sounded like someone typing on a computer. Because all my applications were completely frozen, I went to reboot, but now it is stuck on the loading screen. Is this because I have a CD in the CD drive and it is trying to boot from that? If so how do I get it out?

Sounds like your hard drive may have failed. Try booting from the Mac OS X installation DVD that came with your system (hold down keyboard "c" key during startup), then run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu before actually beginning the OS X install process.
If you have a non-startup DVD stuck in the optical drive, just hold down the keyboard eject button during startup to eject it.
