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...

CPU fan isn't working on Hermes 845GV full and Lite

well
i have here an hermes 845GV and when i switch it on, the cpu fan starts for about half an second and stops then, same problem with the lite version.
so, can this problem be solved or do i have to send it back to msi? (both comps are new)
thx schBORG

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
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
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

Sound over HDMI works, but laptop sound isn't working after...

Hey,
First, sound over HDMI was not working on my laptop, but when I followed this section of Alsa Wiki it worked.
So I created the ~/.asoundrc file containing:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
But now, when I unplug my HDMI cable, and want to listen to music using my laptop built-in speakers/jack speakers, it doesn't work anymore, even if I restart Alsa.
In fact, I need to delete the .asoundrc file AND restart Alsa in order to get it work.
Is there a way to make both sound over HDMI, and built-in speakers works automatically depending on if my laptop is/is not connected to my TV ?
Thanks

You need to restore the card and/or device number to those for your laptop speakers, as determined by:
aplay -l
To do this automatically, you will need to use scripts called by udev, as described a little further down.

HP pavillion DV6 laptop fan isn't running to the max

As of late my DV6 laptop's fans aren't running at max rpm as they should be during heavy loads like gaming or video processing. It'll run normally and keep on gaining heat until it hits 80 degrees celcius by searching the web, yet the fan will still be at maybe 20-30% running capacity. When running games, it often drops my fps from 100% of its max capacity to mabye 30 to 40%. Is there a fix for this problem? I've already tried running all options of hp coolsense and I might try and get compressed air to air out the vents.

Also apparenlty according to speedfan my GPU fan speed is 0 rpm. Could that attribute to the lack of fan speed?

SSD as second hard drive, now CPU fan isn't working?

Warranty issues aside, I recently installed an OWC 115GB Mercury EXTREME Pro SSD as a second hard drive in my 27/i5 Mid 2010 2.8GHz iMac. I did not change any other configuration setting and the original hard drive is configured as shipped. After shutting everything up the internal fan(s) spin extremely loud (especially on the left/cpu side as you are facing the screen). I installed istat pro and while the temperatures look good to me, it says the CPU fan is not running. I've been searching online for days and can't find anyone else that has the same problem. I've taken the iMac apart twice since the problem started and can't find anything broken, connected upside down, or plugged into the wrong spot. Has anyone by chance run into this before? Thanks for the help! I posted a copy of the istat readings below.

Hey,
I heard something about this problem with 2009/2010 imacs: putting in harddrives by your self causes problems with the fan (spinning at full speed all the time), because they are using special harddrives that have a heat sensor built in. without this built in heatsensor, the system doesnt know the temperature of the hardware and runs the fan full throttle just to be sure it doesnt get to hot.
i only have a german source for this though: http://www.macnews.de/mac/imac-2011-festplatte-lasst-sich-dank-proprietarer-appl e-firmware-nicht-austauschen-173448
According to that source there are two ways to fix the problem: eather you use a harddrive that carries a built in heat sensor, or you put in an externel heatsensor.
aaah: just found an english source:

Fan doesn't work

I have a ENVY 17-j161ea and suddenly one of the fans doesn't seem to work anymore. When I play a game, the laptop reboots and I get a nice screen before boot that it is dangerous to continue because one of the fans isn't working.
I am currently monitoring the temp and the CPU is runing at +/- 65 celcius with no load. I don't dare put any load on it...
The laptop is 11 months so just within warrenty however I would like to know what the odds are that HP will fix my laptop...
I removed the recovery partition and added an additional SSD where I installed win 8.0 on. The laptop is officially not supported for 8, only 8.1.
I had to to use my own OS because they didnt support installing the original OS on my own SSD...
I also "abused" the laptop when it came to usage. I rendered a lot on it. Some days it was rendering for 8 hours at 100% CPU. In addition to this I also am a chess player so the laptop is calculating some moves which can take a few hours and also requires 100% CPU.
I am worried that because of my SSD, other OS, removes recovery partition and over usage HP will simply say it was my fault and it's not a hardware fault and those fans are not designed for such a purpose.

Hi @Passero,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to help!
I see that you are getting a fan error after you have been playing a game for awhile. Here is a link to System Fan (90b) error message on startup that will guide you through trying to resolve this difficulty.
I understand that you have made some changes to your notebook. If you were to remove the drive that you installed and just have the original drive in the notebook with the original OS, I think you would still be entitled to warranty. Regardless it is worth a phone call. Worse case scenario would be that they say no. I do know they would ask you to have only the original drive installed with the original OS.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside of the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Phone Assist Worldwide
Here is a link to the HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC Maintenan.... It will have a list of all recommended replacement parts. The fan is listed as item 13 on page 30 or Chapter 3 page 20.
Good Luck!

Laptop Fan Lenovo IdeaPad Y500

Hi,
I' trying to control the laptop fan on a Lenovo Y500.
I followed the wiki article on fancontrol and also tryied tp-fand, but both dont seem to find any fans.
My laptop is never going into full fan speed, one of the fans isn't working at all I think.
I made a stress test with arch and windows and compared the results.
Are there any other options I can try?

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.

i just want to know if i can change the rage which fan working on
or its a technical issue and i have to go technical support

This is the problem of the fan and not BIOS/System problem.
At such temperature Fan always keep cooling your laptop.
The cooler the laptop is the better working and lifespan!
If fan makes noise, get only the fan replaced.

Is laptop fan supposed to keep spinning after suspend?

Hi,
Just purchased Asus A53U laptop, wiped the drive, and put Arch on it.
This is the first laptop that I'm actually using on an everyday basis. So I have a question: isn't the laptop fan supposed to spin down after suspend? If so, I have a problem on my hands - it doesn't. I installed laptop mode tools, pm-utils, upower, acpid... nothing helps It looks like suspend is working as the device does turn off the screen and I get a tty-like screen right before that, and it does wake up from it correctly. However, the fan keeps spinning all the time, which is definitely killing the battery.
Help?

You should search in your netbook's BIOS/UEFI for something like that ; Suspend State : S1 or S3.
S1 suspend state will keep your CPU, GPU ... awake, so with fans on.
S3 states is an really low-energy state : Just the RAM is powered, no fans on.
If your BIOS don't have such an option, check for BIOS/UEFI updates on the Asus website
