HP G62 Laptop fan issue, fan no longer working HELP

Basically i have a HP G60 laptop and cleaned my fan with compressed air and it stopped my laptop overheating etc etc.
HOWEVER my other half has a HP G62 laptop and her fan is LOUD and is on the verge of overheating and shutting itself down.
So i used the compressed air can to clean her fan BUT it completely stopped spinning and now i get the error message saying the fan isnt operating properly and its not advised to continue with normal use.
I can get onto windows. but the compressed air (Which EVERYONE recommends) seems to have completely either broke the fan or blown dust INTO the fan and stopped it.
After many restart attempts it came on breifly making this ticking noise as if the blades were hitting something as it spun (which was slow might i add).
MAYBE the bios has detected the fan was blocked and stopped attempting to spin??? i dont know i need help or advice before i dismantle it to try and clean the fan manually.
which i KNOW is quite fiddly for an amatuer. fans should be the easiest thing to get to not the hardest but oh well...
HELP PLEASE
This question was solved.
View Solution.

just to let you know i have fixed it, the fan seemed completely broken with no movement and its cos i spun it too fast with the compressed air or blew the clumps of dust and lint back into the fan and clogged it. either way i just got it working by taking a womens hair pin and poking it through the slot carefully and turning the blades, it got a bit difficult like there was something stopping it, but after i pushed past that point i spun it with the clip a few more times then it fired up no problems when i powered on.
thanks anyway your advice was spot on!

Kernel 2.6.39.1-1 issues: reboot no longer working

I recently upgraded from kernel 2.6.38.7-1 to 2.6.39.1-1 , and have observed that this has caused reboot to no longer work. Specifically, issuing "reboot -n" kicks off the shutdown process ok, and I see the shutdown procedure getting broadcast to the interactive users, but this then hangs at the very last step, where it says Restarting.
This used to work fine, and I have confirmed that a downgrade back to 2.6.38.7-1 fixes this for me. All other packages from core and extra are up-to-date as of the time of this post.
The hardware is a fit-pc2 (i.e. intel atom-based). Is this a known upstream bug?

Thanks for replies.
@stlarch : what information would be most useful? Happy to provide whatever might be relevant. Hopefully the below helps
1. I use laptop-mode-tools with everything enabled even for AC power and acpi-cpufreq.
2. both "shutdown -r now" and "reboot" work fine if I downgrade just the kernel back to 2.6.38.7-1 . They both don't work (i.e. hang instead of reboot) if I upgrade just the kernel to 2.6.39.1-1
3. It's all worked out of the box for me for the last 6 months or so, and only the latest 2.6.39.1-1 kernel has this problem, hence why I suspect it's a regression.
4. Assuming wm means window manager: none. I don't even have X installed. This is purely a headless server, run unattended and rebooted (when necessary) remotely via ssh.
5. My dmesg reports "Selecting BIOS-method for reboots." - regardless of kernel version (i.e. when running both versions mentioned)
6. No clues in the logs unfortunately leap out to me. Let me know if there's a specific logfile that might have clues. With both a successful reboot (on older kernel) and failed reboot (on the newer kernel) the last few lines of everything.log say the same thing:

@brebs: As above, this works/doesn't work dependent solely on version of kernel26 package. Is there a kernel change between those two versions that would require me changing my kernel options? I'd like to understand what caused the regression and see if there's an upstream fix (or raise it as an upstream issue if not), rather than just a reconfiguration/workaround.

My 'run with administrative privileges' script no longer works - help

Hey all. I have an applescript that shuts down the computer that I made a while back. I pulled it out today to use it and it no longer works. Here's part of the code I'm having trouble with:
do shell script ¬
"sudo shutdown -h now" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges
On old machines this worked great, I would just put the admin password where myadminpassword is and it would work perfectly. Now though, I run it on my machine and I get the prompt to enter my admin username and password before it will shutdown.
Now this is going on a remote install so I need it to work. Any ideas? The machine is running snow leopard, but it seems to still work on an old leopard macbook pro.

Well, for one, do not use sudo in do shell script.
The whole 'with administrator privileges' part takes care of elevating your privileges. sudo has no place in do shell script.
Don't know if that's your issue, but it's the first thing I'd fix.
If that doesn't help, are you running the script as your admin user?
Nowhere in your script are you defining the username to run the command as, therefore it will attempt to run as the current user who may not be the same as your admin user, nor have the same password. You might need to include the username:
do shell script "shutdown -h now" user name "admin" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges

FF 3.6.6 :: Address Bar No Longer Works - Help?

After updating Firefox to version 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP 3, the address bar no longer works for navigating to pages. When entering any URL and pressing enter, the page reloads with google.com (which is my homepage in FF). Clicking some bookmarks works. However, navigating from search results in Google does not. I have tried reinstalling. Also, I have tried to start up in Safe Mode. Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.

IMac sound is no longer working- help?

This morning i turned on my iMac and the sound is no longer working. When i turn on the computer the start up chime in audible, but after that nothing can be heard through itunes, safari, or anything. When i hit the volume keys on my keyboard it shows that the volume is maxed and underneathe there is a circle with a cross through it. I first tried to resolve the problem by going into system preferernces and disconnecting my keyboard from bluetooth and then reconnecting. That didnt work, so i then put my computer to sleep, then restarted it, then shut it down. Still nothing has changed. I followed this up by resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that also has done nothing. Im not entirely sure what to do! If someone could help me out thatd be great. I feel like there should be a simple solution to this problem, but im just missing it!

Reset the SMC and PRAM each at least 2-3 times. I don't know where you got instructions for these resets so please navigate to Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for correct instructions just in case.

Rename roll no longer works - help

In iPhoto (6.0.5) I used to be able to change the roll name by simply clicking on the existing name (e.g. roll 243) in the info panel at the bottom left, and then typing in a new name. This no longer works. When I click on the name in the info panel the name is momentarily highlighted, but then dims and will not permit me to rename it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

bobio:
Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissons. Also make sure you have the Helvetica font enabled for your Mac and account. It's a long shot but worth a try
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HP Laptop Fan Isn't Working

I have an HP Laptop, model G62-367Dx. A couple days ago, my laptop would turn on, work for 15-minutes, then freeze and shut down. Looking around on the internet, I found forums suggesting my vent and fan may need dusting. So, I bought compressed air and dusted out my vents.
After cleaning my laptop, I tried turning it on, only to find the same results. When I restarted it, I saw the following message on the screen:
"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.
System Fan (90b)"
While my computer was running, I examine the fan to see that it was not turning at all. Is there anyway I can get the fan turning again? Or do I have to replace my fan or computer?

I am also facing the same issue and the same error as you explained.Can any one help...

Fan no longer works

the fan on my dv7-1261wm stopped working after repair advice of a hp rep any ideas on how to get this fixed the computer has over heated since I got it and this doesn't make it any better i get about 10 minutes before it shuts itself off

Word of warning. DO NOT USE THE MAC until the fans get replaced. Even with just one going, there will be be overheating and risk of damage to the Mac. Both fans should be replaced at the same time.

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Since adding Firefox 4 to my Windows Vista laptop, my scroll button no longer works in Firefox.

Using a 2-year old Lenovo X61 thinkpad running Windows Vista, there is a scroll button between the left and right buttons. It still functions in Outlook, and it used to function in all iterations of Firefox 3. Since updating to Firefox 4 yesterday, no scrolling and I have to click on the slide on the right side of the screen. This is cramping my style tremendously. I am not having the same trouble on my Windows 7 desktop or laptop.

Hm. I was not aware Firefox 4 disabled this. Then again, I'm still using 3.x.
Well, you can re-enable it by typing '''about:config''' into the address bar. Click the button to confirm that you want to be here.
Type ''autoScroll'' into the Filter box. Look at the general.autoScroll property that comes up. Does it say "false" under the Value column? If that's the case, double click it to set it back to "true."
This will enable the scroll button.

[SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

After recent (since 9.7.2014) updates, the WLAN link stopped working for me - and I don't seem to be find a way to restore it. Thus, your wisdom is appreciated:
Setup/Background
- Device: Zotac ZBox IQ (http://www.zotac.com/products/mini-pcs/ … nt/10.html)
- Network device (2xGLAN): Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 (kernel module r8169 loads)
- Wifi (device missing, used to work as enp3s0 ??), should be intel chipset
- Wired connection works
- NetworkManager is in use
- Dmesg error: enp3s0 link is not ready
Tried so far
- Tested with older kernel 3.14.x -- no change
- Tested with kernel-lts -- no change
- Tested with older networkmanager -- no change
- Tested with fresh Arch media (latest.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tested with older Arch media (1.4.2014.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tried bringing up the link with command: ip link set dev enp3s0 up -- no change, no error
- Unloading r8169 removes the wired connection in networkmanager but not wireless, is that normal?
- Noticed also this link (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … OL_problem), but setup has no Windows
Any pointers? Had a similar problem sometime in the past (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177793 -- different device), and then after some time and upgrades it just started working again.
Thanks in advance,
Juha
[EDIT 14.7]
Removed misleading reference: Noticed this post (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183601) and changed name in udev rules: enp03s0 -> wlp03s0 -- no change
[EDIT 16.7]
Added some details seen also later in thread

New ISP, Time Capsule No Longer Works - help!

OK, today, I changed ISP with a new router.
Everything was going OK, all iOS devices, all wi-fi printers, Apple TV, and Airport Express all connected and worked fine. The only issue is my Time Capsule. I just can't get it to work.
It was setup to 'Join An Existing Wi-fi Network' and everything used to be fine with my TM backups going to it.
Now, Airport Utility (6.2) won't see it at all over wi-fi, and if I connect to the router via ethernet, AU sees it. I tried to change the configuration, but there is no 'Connect to an Existing Wi-fi network' available, just 'create new' or 'extend existing'.
Even if I try either of these options, it doesn't work. After a couple of minutes, I get a 'an error occurred when trying to update the configuration' message.
I have tried holding in the reset button, but to no avail.
Can anyone help? I'm on 10.8, by the way.

Join a wireless network is not in v6 utility.. thanks so much apple.. you are a great help.
Mind you .. we do not recommend at any time using "join a wireless network".. it is slow and likely to cause issues at some point with corrupting the backup.
The best idea is to install v5.6 utility on your Mac.. this can be done.. google for various methods.. here is mine which is free.. others use a tool you have to pay for.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
If you want to do the job correctly though.. start from a factory reset.
To do this hold in reset button and then power on.. keep holding in reset without releasing for about 10sec until the front led flashes rapidly.
Do all setups using ethernet. I recommend you bridge the TC and use roaming setup for wireless. It works very well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
Even if you mix with a non-apple router, you simply create a wireless network on the TC.
Exactly the same name (SSID) as the main router .. same security WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES and is the only suitable security nowadays.
Same password for wireless. 8-12 characters is enough .. up to 20 if paranoid. pure alphanumeric.
The only thing different is wireless channels. Set them both to auto may work or maybe chaos.
At 2.4ghz there are only three non-overlapping channels.. make sure the main router is set to 20mhz only.. and use one of the channels, 1, 6, 11. Then set the TC to one remaining.
5ghz in the TC use lower channels.. 36, 38, 40 etc work much better than 150's
So in your real utility it looks like this.

Screen no longer works, help getting set up with external LCD?

So my Titanium Macbook Pro's screen went out yesterday and it's no longer covered so I've been trying to figure out how to get it to work with an external LCD monitor.
I can get it to boot up, and I can even get it to open itunes via Spotlight and hit play and hear music, so I know all else is (hopefully) fine.
The monitor I have is an "Acer LCD Monitor AL1916W A" and I have the adaptor going out of my MBP to a VGA cord that then connects to the Acer.
I read this page to get the idea to do this: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/21/broken-macbook-pro-screen-turn-it-into-a-desktop- mac/
But I cannot get the Acer screen to recognize the MBP and show an image. The Acer powers up and shows it's logo but then says 'no signal'.
I tried to blindly Spotlight > System Preferences > Displays but can't get anywhere from there. I tried to restart it and close the screen but no-go.
Help?

HT4897 I have forgotten my original MobileMe account password and the email address that I used to use to retrieve my password no longer works - help!

I have just upgraded to mountain lion and want to use the icloud. However, years ago I set up a mobile me account and can not remember my password. The email account I set up originally as a default email no longer exists so when I try and set up a new password I am unable to because I can't access the email address I put on file. Can anybody help?

Are you particularly attached to your ex-MobileMe email address? - it sounds as if you haven't actually used it for very long time. Your easiest option would be to use the ID you have logged in with here to open an iCloud account and choose a new @icloud.com address.
If you really want to reactivate the MobileMe email address (which is also the ID for that account) you will need to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'More Products and Services' in the second column, then 'Apple ID' in the third column. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' in the first column then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'. You will be offered options to contact Apple by phone.
