How to locate HP fan and clean it?

I have a dv6 HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. The model number is dv6t-1200. I am trying to find the fan and clean it but I do not know where it is located. Also, do I have to unscrew anything to reach it? If so, where? Thank you for your response in advance.

You will have to take the whole laptop apart due to its crazy construction.
Blow the vents dust and do this instead:
Try this:
Hello,
I decided to sacrifice 1 percent (just) of performance for the sake of cool temperatures and silent fan. I have HP DV6, with AMD Turion RM-74 and HD4650.
So, Yes, You will loose up to 1 percent Your CPU power, but heyh, this processor is so fast that You will barelly notice the change. You will still watch HD content with 720p and everything else smoothly. Note, that gaming will be harder part but consider Your laptop not as a device created for heavy gaming.
However,
I rarely do play NBA 2K10 on my laptop. It is very cpu demanding. After I've done the above, my CPU temp never reached beyond 71 percent while gaming, GPU - 75 percent.
Without the above mentioned my CPU went over 100 and GPU over 90.
No more overheating.
So, how to reduce Your notebook temps:
(i) Power Options -> More power options,
(ii) Balanced plan -> Change settings,
(iii) Change advanced power settings
(iv) Processor power management -> Maximum processor state -> On Battery - 50 percent, Plugged in - 99 percent.
(vi) Save changes and close.
Now, mine temperatures are - idle 48, heavy load - 57, extremelly heavy load (HD 720p content) - 62-63. (At the moment my CPU cores are at 47 celsius).
And please note, that the notebooks coolers are just a joke and designed not to cool your laptops, but to take away your money. Their effieciency is minimum: -1/2 celcius.
Best regards.

Please help me figure out how to quiet the fan and keep my computer on

My PowerMac, running on OS X (10.4.11) keeps going to sleep and the top fan makes an incredibly loud noise.
How can I get it to stop shutting off and quiet the fan down?

How to locate a cell and return value of neighbour cell

Hi, I have a table containing data pairs in columns like [Title] [Value]. The table has multiple columns resulting in a table like this:
Title
Value
Title
Value
Title
Value
Apples
100
Bread
120
Pork
90
Melons
120
Pancake
150
Beef
160
Peaches
110
Pie
55
Fish
100
In a different table, I want to enter a title and get the value next to it returned. E.g. I enter "Pancake" in column A and get "150" in column B.
I tried using Lookup but it doesn't support multi-column searches so I would have to create IF-chains for the pairs of columns.
The best way I could think of is to locate the address of the title cell and use Offset. Does anyone know a solution for this?

More on "you can have both..."
Here's an exmple that preserves your original table layout (in "Main"), uses it to generate an Auxiliary table ("Aux"), thenuses that table as a lookup table for VLOOKUP:
Formulas:
The complicated ones are in the Aux table:
A2: =IF(ROW()-1<=COUNTA(Main :: A),OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0),IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),OFFSET(Main :: $C$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A)),0),IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C,Main :: E)),OFFSET(Main :: $E$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),0),"over")))
Fill down to the end of column A.
Separated for clarity:
=IF(ROW()-1<=COUNTA(Main :: A),OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0),
IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),OFFSET(Main :: $C$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A)),0),
IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C,Main :: E)),OFFSET(Main :: $E$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),0),
"over")))
B2: =IF(ROW()-1<=COUNTA(Main :: A),OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,ROW()-1,1),IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),OFFSET(Main :: $C$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A)),1),IF(ROW()-1<=(COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C,Main :: E)),OFFSET(Main :: $E$1,ROW()-(1+COUNTA(Main :: A,Main :: C)),1),"over")))
Fill down to the end of column B.
Note that this is the same formula as used in Column A, with only the three zeros in OFFSET changed to ones.
Summary table:
B2, and filled down to end of column B: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A,Aux :: A:B,2,0),"nf")

How to locate certain pixels and picture them in RGB image

Dear all:
I have a code, as the attached one in LV 8.2, and have problems for this. I hope someone can kindly help me. I have a 2-D data set, just like the random numbers generated for a 512x500 array in the code. I need to locate all pixels with values higher than a threshold, say 0.8 in the code, and all pixels with values lower than another certain threshold, say 0.2 in the code. The purpose is to picture the array with gray level color, and give different colors for groups of higher or lower values.
In my code, I got the following problems. First, when I count the number of pixels in a certain group, the value, for "large" and "small" indicators, are negative. What mistake did I make?
Second, I plan to duplicate the initial array (data set) and locate all the pixels with the expected values, assigning the zero value to each of them. Then, combine three arrays into one 512x500x3. I used Build Array in the code but got 3x512x500. What mistake did I make here?
Third, I plan to picture the data set in an intensity graph (I hope I did it right). Since the initial data is a 2-D array, it is supposed to be black-and-white in gray level, but I always got blue-and-white. Sigh, what silly mistake did I make for this?
Fourth, as you can see that eventually I am supposed to obtain a 3-D array. Each pixel without the expected values will have 3 the same values as the initial one. Each pixel with the expected values will have 2 the same values as the initial one and 1 zero. If I can present this array in a RGB image, the pixels without the expected values are supposed to have gray color, and the pixels with the expected values are supposed to have color different than gray. Is it possible to draw such a picture in LV? And is it possible to save such a picture?
I really appreciate for anyone who can help me figure out my mistakes and correct my code. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi ccyang,
This is Stephen in Applications Engineering. I've started taking a look at your questions and I wanted to let you know that I've found a solution to your first issue. The 512x500 array that you created has approximately 250,000 values. Since the random number generator is uniform, we can expect ~50,000 to be greater than 0.8. 50,000 is larger than the value that an I16 integer can hold. An I16 integer type is the default output for the Boolean to (0,1) function you are using. Therefore, add a "To Quad Integer" conversion function to your block diagram after the Boolean converter but before the sum. I'll be back soon with the solutions to the other two questions. Just wanted to let you know I was working on a solution.

How to locate current position and navigator witho...

Hi, I am using Nokia N8 with lastest version of Ovi map. It said that I can download offline map from Ovi suite and use built-in GPS to navigating. But after downloading UK map, Ovi map even could not locate my current position and navigate (still saying waiting for GPS). Note that i was not connecting to internet and map was in offline mode. Anyone know to use Ovi map offline as a proper navigator because I can see others GPS on vehicle could still work without internet. Thanks

For getting the GPS Lock (Initial positioning)..you must go to an area open to sky.. Open the Maps application and wait for anything between 5 and 25 minutes. If the area is surrounded by Highrise buildings or tall trees and / or the weather is cloudy / rainy then it will take considerably longer time for the fix. Also note that if you start the application at a new place.. meaning Used at place A.. navigated to B using it and putting it OFF.. now if you start it again at any place other than B it will again take a longer time for the fix as against starting at B..
Once you get the fix.. you will not have problems navigating..
BTW you do not need Internet connection for GPS to work.. Only select Integrated GPS positioning method and OFFLINE under the internet option in the Maps application..

Virus? my friend told me that he has received 24 msgs from me? do I have a virus? how can I find out and clean it?

And my internet keeps shutting down all the time and the all system is very slow. pls help.

If you were using a Windows machine, malware would be a potential explanation. On the Mac, there is currently no malware known to behave this way, though. So, it's just a simple matter of your e-mail account being hacked. See:
Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
As for the system being slow, that is also not going to be related to malware. Most likely, you've got a lot of junk software that is slowing the machine down, or have something wrong with your system. Try working through the fixes in my Mac Performance Guide.
Regarding your "internet shutting down all the time," what does that mean? Is your web browser crashing? Is your internet service frequently having problems? Or something else altogether?

How can i get matte screen protected and cleaned ???

I know that glossy MBP has a piece of glass covered on the screen, and it's easy to clean it by using some soft material. However, for matte screen. how can I protect screen and clean it. Like at the edge of screen, if dust in it, I won't be able to clean it. Any ideas?

Trade it in for a glossy? Hee hee.
I use canned air to clean my screen sometimes, because most of what I have is dust on the display. Rarely do I get fingerprints (believe it or not) on the glossy screen. Saves from any abrasion by wiping it off with a dry cloth (the special kind, for like, cleaning eyeglasses, or one designed for LCD displays-- yes, I know the new MBPs have LED displays).
I used iKlear way back when, and oh, it is atrocious. Left residue on the screen that I couldn't get off with another clean wipe, and then even water wouldn't do it, so I had no choice but to pull out the Windex (not a good substance to be cleaning an LCD display with) to get it all off. So from my personal experience, stay away from the iKlear. Bad stuff.
I recommend canned air (for dust), and the cloth wipes (for grease and fingerprints). Use a damp cloth with water for any stuck on dirt.
ONCE IN AWHILE, it is "okay" to use some type of window cleaner (yes, I know everyone here will throw rocks at me) because water can never get out all that gunk in the long run. Once a month, I use it on those tough spots.
Honestly, with my glossy display, it is easy to clean and keep clean. The previous stuff I mentioned was based on my PowerBooks which were all matte screens, of course.

Expiration and Clean up thread - MDM connector - Visual administrator

Hi Experts!
I need some suggestion from the Visual administrator - MDM connector.
We have the default setting for maximum connections, clean up thread time and the expiration set.
As of now, clean up thread value is 300 seconds. and Expiration value is set too. But we could see, as the days goes, the number of connections in the 'UsedManagedSessionsCount' is increasing. I feel the expiration is not working.
Could you kindly suggest, how to ensure the expiration and clean up thread is working?
Thanks,
SK

Hello,
1) Connections are used quite a long time (this depends on how
applications using the datasource is implemented, or how long it keeps
the connections referenced). In this case the solution will be to:
1.1) Increase the pool size: Maximum Connections Number. The optimal
value for this as a rule of thumb is: the max connections with which the
backend (Database) performs best divided to number of servers in the
cluster.
1.2) Increase the Maximum time to wait for connection - so the
resource system of J2EE Engine will wait for freed connection longer
before throwing the exception. However, from end user viepoint, this
will lower the performance. But it's better than failure.
1.3) Enable expiration - set Connection Lifetime to 300 (5 minutes) -
this means that after it is returned to the pool if not referred again
within 5 minutes it is destroyed. Also set the automatic cleanup thread
interval to 180 (3 minutes) - each 3 minutes a thread will be run to
detect idle connections.
regards,
John Feely

Uninstalling and cleaning computer of ITunes

How do I completely uninstall and clean my compter of ITunes and begin again. I installed 11.1.2 and it didn't allow me to do what I desired, include my music folders, so I uninstalled it and installed ITunes 10 but it tells me it can't open because of already installed software

Hi,
Download this utility from Microsoft:

How do I fully and cleanly uninstall unwanted apps?

Have recently swapped from a Windows machine to a brand new and customised iMac. I've therefore had to accept that the OS is Mavericks and that pre-loaded on the machine are iPhoto and the iWork suite. I now wish to remove, if permitted, the following of these from the machine:
iPhoto
Keynote
Numbers
Games
How can I do this fully and cleanly? I gather that you can do a 'shake' test for an app you want to delete from the machine and, if it's permitted to remove the app, you then drag its icon on to the Trash. But as I understand it this doesn't necessarily remove other extraneous files associated with the app. So, how do I discover what those are, where they're located, and what exactly to do with them?
Incidentally, of the iWork suite I've decided to keep Pages.
I'm a little concerned that perhaps uninstalling these apps might remove some files that are shared with other apps on the machine, including functions built into the operating system. Will that conceivably happen? Is iPhoto, for example, required to display images in Apple Mail, and is it also required for me to be able to import RAW and other images from a camera using direct drag 'n drop (into a folder of my own choosing)? And what about Preview? Will that get removed along with iPhoto?
I only do serious work on my computer, and I want to keep this machine's contents lean and clean.

Barney and Tony,
Not sure if this reply will appear in the correct sequence in the discussion thread but I've had a look at those folders and files you mentioned, Barney. There was nothing in most of them. Library/Extensions exists as System/Library on my setup but I saw nothing in it pertaining to any of the three apps concerned.
In <System>/Applications/Numbers/Contents I found such cryptic folders as:
_Code Signature
_MAS Receipt
info.plist
MAC OS
Pkg info
etc
but, again, looking in these folders yielded nothing that appeared remotely associated with any of the three apps. In searches like this you can get right down to the very coding level if you wish, it seems. However, unless you're familiar with the coding you've no idea as to what these functions are, or how they interact with other apps and processes. And I'm certainly not.
One thing I did come across, however, happened when I was looking at one of the more hidden-away user functions of the Apple Mail client and I noticed that apps such as iPhoto and PhotoBooth are involved in importing images into the client. That being so, it might be better for me not to remove iPhoto, since I use and rely on Apple Mail quite a lot.
All in all, it's difficult for me to make an informed judgement on this. Possibly, Apple's now organised the uninstall of certain apps in a much fuller and cleaner way than before and so perhaps all I'd need to do, in reality, is to perform the 'wiggle' uninstall. But I just don't know. And there's always the danger that removing what are now some quite embedded apps could cause some other related app or utility to not function properly from hereon. So, in the end, I might have to just concede that I'm stuck with these apps.
Possibly, the only way of ridding my machine of them is for me to perform at a later date a major cleanup, completely wiping the HD, and reinstalling Mavericks from scratch.
If only Apple had never installed those apps in the first place! Why on earth did they have to be compulsory?! So much for Apple and their products being user-friendly! I'm disappointed in Apple over this.

T60p - Cleaned fan and is now noiser

My fan started getting noisy so I open up my laptop and cleaned it out. Put it all back together, turned it on and now it's even louder than before. Any suggestions as to the cause of the problem? The laptop itself is running fine btw just the fan is being extremely loud and running at 3000+rpm and the cpu is at 48-50 degrees celcius.
Right now I'm going to take it apart again, see if I did something wrong. Any other comments or suggestions as to a soultion would help though. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

loudness of the fan is related to the friction within the bearing and how vane is shaped to move the airflow.
From what you are describing, it sounds like your fan bearing is wearing out and needs replacement.

How do you combine mutable iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

how do you combine multiple iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

If not the only answer is the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager -http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and maybe duplicate annihaliator -http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18748/duplicate-annihilator
You must have IPLM as stated - you may also need DA depending on how thing go with the merge

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
