HP G70 120EM Fan Replacement

My fan is not blowing air out of the laptop. It's not spinning at all. I've tried using canned air to blow out dust but it had no effect. Does anyone have experience of changing the fan in a HP g70 laptop? I've looked at the manual and I have to take the whole thing apart, which is a worry. Could it be another fault that has stopped it from working?

You should look through the HP G70-120EM Maintenance and Service Guide before attempting to service your notebook: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01573159.pdf
Generally, if the fan stops working it's because of mechanical failure. The only other thing I would recommend would be a BIOS update if the unit stays on long enough to perform one.

Will a G70-120EM motherboard fit a G70-111EM?

Hi, so my motherboard broke due to me spilling coke on it, and unfortunatly i didn't have any care/protection on it at the time. I have found another motherboard on ebay, and im wondering if it will fit mine as the heatsink looks slightly different.
My laptop motherboard is a HP G70-111EM
The motherboard im interested in is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HP-G70-motherboard-2-GHz-Intel-Core-2-Duo-processor-/270587170495?cmd=ViewItem...
and according to the ebay post it is a HP G70-120EM
Will it fit mine?
Thanks

Your model (G70-111EM) use Intel GMA, while G70-120EM use Nvidia 9200M GE, however, since the seller also provide the fan/heat sink, my best guess it will fit in very well.

G70 120em hdmi out put

Using hdmi on my 3 week old G70 120em I only get blank screen on my Panasonic 42PX plasma tv. I have also Used Friends TV's Sony and Samsung LCD but on response. The computer sees the TV as I get the name up on the nvidia page. I have used advice from HP web site several times including powering down Comp and leaving TV on the HDMI channel then power back up.
Thanks in advance

Maybe so, but you can't watch ANYTHING in Hi-def.
it's much better to watch anything than almost nothing at all.... besides, quality is just fine on the tv.
Right... Everyone knows Standard def is fine compared to Hi def, that's why HD tv's don't sell..... *sarcasm*
I'm sure soon enough there will be a fix to allow viewing of Hi Def content over HDMI.

My HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs.

my HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs. Any idea what software update I need?

I also have this problem on an Envy 17 laptop with a HP DVDBD TS-TB23L drive that shows up as a BD-ROM. It will play music and read data discs but not play BLURAY or DVD discs. It is very disheartening to finid such a lack of support for any problems on HP machines and will make me question ever buy an HP device. They seem to produce them at such a rate that they never bother when things go wrong as there is another being produced in the next five minutes. At first I thought this was a problem with the drive but now I suspect it is a software problem they are not bothering to resolve.

HP G70-120EM Upgrades

Hey there.
I bought a HP G70-120EM just over 2 years ago and its now its starting to just slow down.
It's been overhauled twice; once when I installed win7 and then again last Nov when I did a reinstall of 7. I use TuneUp Utilities to help improve my system as a whole; but its making no real difference.
I haven't upgraded it at all in terms of hardware.
So I was wondering what can be upgraded on it? Specifically can the gfx be upgraded, and can the processor/s be upgraded?

It ain't really worth it, but for the record, the graphics cannot be modified at all. The processor could be, but the cost would make it kind of pointless. Memory is a possible upgrade and a faster hard drive but any modern laptop should run pretty fast if the software is properly maintained. Clean up the startup routine; stop programs from running in the background. And it might be a good idea to try another clean install of Windows 7.

Idle Fan speed 4400 RPM after fan replacement

Several months ago the left side fan on my MBP died as the result of a worn bearing. The computer is covered under Apple Care so I sent it in to have the fan replaced. Ever since the fan was replaced the idle speed on both fans is in excess of 4K rpm even when the CPU shows minimal activity. SMC fan control is set to 2K rpm. iStat Nano widget displays temperature at 120 Degrees Fahrenheit and fan speed at 4500K. I took my MBP back to my local Apple authorized service center and told them what was occurring since having the fan replaced. From Hardin Apple service center in Arlington my MBP was shipped to Houston Texas where Apple Service Technicians replaced the Logic board. I have since reset the PMU by removing the battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds. I have also run the Apple Hardware Diagnostic test using the install disc which showed no hardware malfunctions.
With the CPU 95% idle the fans should not be running anywhere near 4K. Despite two trips to Apple Service my MPB still has a fan probably which is not only annoying because of the increased noise but it is affecting my battery life as well. If anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this problem which I have not already attempted please post them. I am hesitant to send my MBP back for more service at this time due to their failure to fix the problem the first time or check the results. They were aware of the problem when I sent it in for service and when they returned it to me the same problem persisted. This type of service does not inspire customer confidence.

I'd be inclined to try an "archive and install" of the OS, Jason, and leave off any third party "add ons" like SMC fan control for the moment.
Alternatively if you have an external HD then you could try installing a "clean" copy of the OS on this and using it as the boot drive, to see if this overcomes the problem
There are OS software elements to the process of fanspeed control and if these are corrupted then the fans are likely to run at "failsafe" speed.
Another possibility may be that a temp sensor hasn't been properly re-connected, again resulting in "failsafe" sped operation.

T43p Cooling Fan Replacement

Hi all,
Have a noisey cooling fan on my T43p-2686-DHU. So, have puchased from Lenovo part 26R9074 "long fan 24".
Before, I open my Thinkpad for the first time. Was wondering if someone has instructions on how to do this repair, pointer to pitfalls, or comments.
Thanks in advance,
Atul

Fan replacement is fairly straight forward.

R61i fan replaced, now goes into standby every 20 to 25 minutes

First post on this forum. Having paid a tech ($$$!) to come to my home to replace the fan, I've had the additional issue of standbys occurring at least once per hour which are without a clean power down option, only unplugging the machine actually works. The tech denies that this issue is related to the fan replacement. Friends (non R61i users) say it's overheating or possibly the heat sink is not correctly positioned. Is this machine worth trying to repair? Yes it's old and an XP but my situation is such that I need guidance as to my next step. Any help appreciated.

I have replaced the fan on my R61 myself 3 times. It failed the first time when it was 4 years old, and each time I replaced it with a used fan bought on EBAY. Maybe they were too used. All you need to do it yourself is a copy of a few pages from the Hardware Maintenance Manual, a tube of thermal paste, a screw driver and about 30 minutes of your time.
The last time it failed, I did not replace it. I bought a can of compressed air, and blew it over the fan blades, which were heavily coated with dust, and it has been working fine since then (although I do have a spare waiting to be used just in case).
I am thinking that possibly, the thermal paste was not reapplied correctly. You cannot have a heat sink not correctly positioned on an R61 as the fan and heat sink are one unit, and fit tightly in position. There are many vidoes on the internet that will show you haw to change a fan.
Good luck.

Do I need my fan replaced?

My fans recently have started making a much louder, more scratcy noise. It is not the macs fan simply speeding up as it happens even at low rpms around 2000. I am not sertain on this but I think my fans need lunbricating or replacing. Is this covered in the 1 year warrenty that came with the macbook pro. And on a side note does anyone know if apple would repair it even if I have bought it from John Lewis (somethink like best buy for you amercans).
Thanks for your replays in advance.

Your one-year warranty is good at any Apple Store or AASP. You may need your fans replaced if you've already blown them out. I wouldn't try any lubricant - just take your unit into your local Apple Store and let them 'hear' the problem.
Good luck,
Clinton

Portege 3490CT - Fan replacement

My portege has started freezing after about 10-15mins of use and the internal fan doesn't seem to be kicking in any more.
I am assuming it's the fan that is causing the problem as the screen stays the same (i.e probably not graphics problem) and there are no odd blue screens or errors and CTRL ALT DEL does nothing..
I've had the laptop apart and checked for dust and the fan connection and it all seems ok.
Is it possible to pickup a fan assembly on it's own, or does it come attached to the heatpipe (it's back together now and can't remember what it looks like!)
Do the entire 3400 series use the same fan assembly?
Apologies for all the questions but i really need my little laptop working again
Many thanks :)

Hi
It seems that your notebook hangs or shuts down because of high temperature inside of notebook. Mostly this issue happens because of dust and dirt. The fans cannot work with the full performance. I dont think that you need to replace the cooling module. Maybe the full clearing of the module and fans will solve the problems. Check also the settings in the power saver.
Im not 100% sure about the fan replacing on this unit because I dont know if its only a fan or the whole module which must be removed. But the best way to find it out is to contact the Toshiba service. There you can also order the new and compatible parts.

HP G70-120EM - Memory Question - Max Capacity

Hi,
I have a HP G70-120EM laptop. I am looking to increase the memory capacity with a pair of matched modules, as big as possible.
Ive got:
1 x 1GB Hynix PC2-5300
1 x 2GB Transcend PC2-5300
667 MHz
Now, the specification says memory max = 3GB, but can be up to PC2-6400 800Mhz.
I suspect that this 3GB cap is due to the laptop coing with vista 32bit, but ive now installed Windows 7 64bit.
So, whats the max the laptop can handle?
Can it take 2 x 2GB or 2 x 4GB? Or is it really limited to 3GB?
Im looking to put as much as possible in there at the maximum speed of PC2-6400.
Thanks in advance.

Huffer, Thanks for the reply.
Ive managed to source a document through this website.
HP G70 Notebook PC
Compaq Presario CQ70 Notebook PC

In this document on page 8 it says
Supports dual-channel memory
Supports up to 4 GB of system memory
Supports PC2-6400, 800-MHz, DDR2 and
PC2-5300, 667-MHz, DDR2
So i think ive found the answer i was looking for yet, what you have said contradicts this. I was planning 2 x 2GB of 800mhz memory running in dual channel.
Have you tried this and it did not work or was you speculating?
I was going to pay £70 for the sticks today, but if you know that it is not going to work then ill simply grab another transcend 2GB 667 module and leave it at that.
Thanks a lot.

Laptop Fan Replaced But Fan isn't working

Hello Hp forum members, a few months ago my laptop's fan suddenly stopped working (the cause was probably lack of cleaning so the fans were clogged and ended up destroying its own motor) and I received the error messages on startup. So I got my fan replaced but now the error messages are gone but my fans aren't even on so I still have an overheating problem.
My laptop's model is Hp Pavilion DV6-6136TX
15" display
2nd Generation Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0GHz CPU
4GB RAM
640GB HDD
ATI Radeon HD 6770M with 2GB Dedicated Graphics

I've had this laptop for 2 years and It is like family to me. Please help me find a solution to this I've been trying to fix it for 2 months and I'm really desperate.
In advance, Thank you hp support forum

Fan replacements/upgrade for MDD Power Mag G4-suggestions please!

First, I apologize for again bringing up what has been a frequently discussed topic. (ad nauseum?) I tried to do some homework first but I'd like a little help if anyone has some recent experience.
I am looking to change out the large main CPU heat sink fan and possibly the two power supply unit fans in my pair of MDD Power Mac G4s. The specs are Dual 1.25ghz (fw400) MDD G4. One has a 400watt actel PSU and another has a samsung 360watt PSU. Both large CPU case fans seem to be the original delta models installed by apple. Though essentially identical in specs, The 400 watt machine has the thick aluminum finned heat sink and the 360 watt machine has the aluminum heat sink with the thin sheets. The 400 watt machine is definitely louder, but I'm not using either of them for critical audio work, so its just a preference thing on having them run a bit quieter.
Both G4s are pretty loud. The noise bothers me a little, but what I really want to do is to replace what must be now pretty old delta fans with newer, quieter fans that will help extend the life of these 2nd hand computers that I plan to use for a number of years.
I scoured the web and read many articles about MDD mods and fan replacements, but many of the articles date back to 2003 and most of the fans that people have used seem to be no longer produced or available (such as the panaflow model referenced on xlr8yourmac.com I ran into many dead links! Maybe that's because there are better fan options now?
If anyone out there has replaced or upgraded their fans in a MDD recently, could you please reply and let me know...
Where you got them
What size and model number(s) for the fans
Whether you noticed any improvement in noise/cooling
I saw a recent post about replacing fans on an AGP Power Mac...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11628216#11628216
Would these fans be the same? I'm guessing that the MDD wind tunnel might need more cooling than a G4 (AGP) right? SOme places mentioned that the main fans were 119x119x25, while others mentioned that hey were 120x120x25. Is 1mm going to make a difference? I'd prefer not to have to dremel them if I don't need to!
Lastly, if you have a direct link to a reasonably priced fan that you'd recommend, I'd appreciate it greatly!
Thanks for any help!
Dave C

Thanks Japamac!
Thanks for your replies! Those look very good! So many to choose...
Exactly the info I was looking for. I was checking out the panaflow (I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of choices on the 'Performance-pcs' website... if you were buying, which one of those 34 would you get? Assuming a budget of 20 bucks per 120mm fan...)
But a followup question on the Panaflo model you linked to. In the many web articles I read I recall that one being well regarded. ,IF I buy that one, I have a few choices on tail options...
3 pin
4 pin
4 pin male molex with separate 3 pin rpm connector
Am I correct that if I opt for the last option I can get the fan to run at a medium rpm all the time and have it be less likely to ramp up under heavy loads?
Lastly, will this possibly be a problem I might have, simiar to what was noted by a xlr8yourmac fan modder -->
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/g4mirrored_drive_doors/noise_reduction/g4_ddr_noisereduction.html
"(Updated comments added 7/9/2009)
I have an important update to that G4 fan mod note I gave you.
I noticed that the 120mm fan wasn't pushing as much air as I thought it should, and I realized it was because the 2-pin fan connector on the motherboard wasn't providing enough power. +(3 pin connectors typically are for adjustable/variable speeds. But if it's a constant speed fan then maybe the 2 pin wiring was using only 5V vs 12V? (higher voltage = higher rpm fan speed typically)-Mike)+ I put the 3-pin connector back on and used a 3 to 4 pin Molex adapter adapter to connect it to the 4-pin hard drive power cables -- voila! Lots more air. So... Following the directions in the older article exactly may NOT work depending on the fan you get. Also, using a 3 to 4 pin adapter is much easier than modifying the connector from 3 to 2 pins as indicated in the article."
This was confusing because I thought that there was just a 3 wire lead to connect or splice, with the yellow wire probably just not being used.
Your thoughts?
Dave C
