HP ProBook 4510s continuously overheating

So, what's there to say.
Ran Windows 7 for about a year on this laptop for college, until I wanted to get back into using Arch again.. so now this laptop is continuously overheating when running Arch.
It's a HP ProBook 4510s with Intel 5100 wifi, 320GB harddrive, 2.2GHz T6670 processor Core2Duo, 3GB DDR2, ATi Radeon Mobility 4330.
What bugs me is that it overheats because for some reason during the initialization of the kernel all my fans get turned off..
the modules I have loaded on runtime are these modules: http://home.deds.nl/~xanderbos/linux/install_mods.txt
I just wish I knew what I could do to alleviate these issues and get it to run normally, as suggested on the IRC channel I have installed the cpufreq-utils and use an ondemand cpu governer on my setup. I'm just really stuck on fixing it and I don't know what else to do.
Greetings,

1. acpi-cpufreq does not show in your modules list.
You should add it to the modules line in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq)
2. Also in /etc/conf.d/cpufreq you should have this
some configuration here
You need to set the min_freq and max_freq for your processor. Get that information from
cpufreq-info
3. Add cpufreq in your /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal cpufreq !network netfs crond wicd kdm)
Reboot
That should resolve any cpu heat caused by running max speed all the time.

Hey Neal, thanks for the reply, I already actually have all that setup and done, except my processor keeps overheating because the fans just refuse to turn on when needed..
The nasty thing is, it overheats when I'm running nothing at all and am not even running the X-Server yet..

[Solved] HP ProBook 4510s overheating

[this thread was split from original thread - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100457]
Ok so I have this same laptop (HP Probook 4510s) and have same problem.
I just recently shifted from Fedora 16 to Arch linux (since about a month or so)
In Arch Linux this laptop has already over-heated 3-4 times and SWITCHED OFF directly (hardware tempearture safety gets triggered)
But when I was on Fedora it never got over-heated and never SWITCHED OFF. (Did not happen in earlier versions of Fedora either)
CPU is on ondemand. (default ARCH setting) and acpi_cpufreq module is active. (again by default)
What I have noticed is that in Fedora 16 fan can be heard easily and would automatically go to higher RPM on higher use.
But in Arch I keep noticing that fan is hardily audible (it seems slower than in Fedora) and it goes to high speed very rarely. (only when I am compiling some program) and then it goes almost silent very immediately. (In Fedora it would slow down slowly slowly - less speed, lesser speed in steps)
So its like as if in Arch fan just runs in two speed - low and high and never runs at in between speed.
Mostly crashes happen when I run games like Supertux2. (its supposed to be lightweight 2D game)
I tried fancontrol but lmsensors (sensors-detect) is not detecing fan at all. (did not detect in fedora either).
So fancontrol does not work.
Do I have to do special setting in lmsensors or my laptop does not support fan sensors?
How do I make sure that fan runs at speed equivalent to that in Fedora 16.
I have tried lots of things from Arch wiki but most articles seem irrelavant (as ondemand is what most of them recommend)
Please suggest.
Thank you

@amish, I have the same problems as you. My laptop model is very similar to yours; it's a HP ProBook 4410s. Unlike you, I run off a 128G SSD, so I don't have the option of trying out so many distros and OSes. Here's what I know:
Automatic fan speed control used to work properly some 2-3 months ago. I did not run CPU intensive tasks for a few months, and so I did not notice that the fan speed would not change after boot-up.
"$ sensors" used to report both, CPU temperatures and acpi temperatures. Now, it shows just CPU temperatures.
Under /sys/class/hwmon, I used to have hwmon0 and hwmon1, for CPU temps and acpi temps, respectively
Now, when I do sensors-detect, it finds the Intel digital thermal sensor properly. But after that, one of the odd things that I notice is:
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x4501
I guess this is why "$ sensors" does not show my ACPI temperatures. However, "$ acpi -t" shows me:
Thermal 0: ok, 45.0 degrees C
Thermal 1: ok, 22.9 degrees C
Thermal 2: ok, 36.0 degrees C
Thermal 3: ok, 34.0 degrees C
Thermal 4: ok, 41.0 degrees C
Thermal 5: ok, 16.0 degrees C
The sensors work. On warm days these sensors show higher temperatures than on cold days.
I use a kludge to manually control the fan. This is what I get on my laptop:
# cd /sys/devices/virtual/thermal
# for i in cooling_device<0-15>; do; echo -n $i/cur_state \ ; cat $i/cur_state; done
cooling_device0/cur_state 0
cooling_device1/cur_state 0
cooling_device10/cur_state 0
cooling_device11/cur_state 0
cooling_device12/cur_state 0
cooling_device13/cur_state 0
cooling_device14/cur_state 1
cooling_device15/cur_state 0
cooling_device2/cur_state 0
cooling_device3/cur_state 0
cooling_device4/cur_state 0
cooling_device5/cur_state 0
cooling_device6/cur_state 0
cooling_device7/cur_state 0
cooling_device8/cur_state 0
cooling_device9/cur_state 0
I then manually change the bytes... until the temperature (as reported by "$ sensors") is acceptable. The command is something like:
# echo -n 1 > cooling_device12/cur_state
I set each cooling_device/cur_state to "1" manually. I start with cooling_device14 and progress towards 0, in intervals of about a minute. Right now, my devices 12, 13, and 14 are set to 1. This, at an ambient temp of 20°C, keeps my CPU at about 30°C.
Perhaps I should write some code to automate this hack, but right now, this manual control "works" for me, and does not take up too much attention. I hope someone more knowledgeable of sensor drivers fixes it before I get down to hacking up some code.

Hp probook 4510s overheating

I have a HP probook 4510s since 3 years ago.
I have no problem with my PC for the first two years and until now I didn t have any problems with it.

I noticed that before shuting down, the laptop becomes hot and fan overworkig because produce a lot of noise than before, the orange light next to the charging cable turns blue.
If I try to start my laptop it won t start until the blue light turns into orange again.
the OS was windows7 then I changed to windows 8 this year but the problem remained the same.
Can someone help me?
Than you

HP Probook 4510S says "Plugged in Not Charging," little help from tech support

Hi there,
I have a two year old HP Probook 4510S that has had a ton of problems. The most recent of which was an error message every time I turned on the computer saying "Batter is critically low" and it stopped charging and said that power was 0% (it continued to work though if it was plugged in and would die immediately if the plug was removed). I replaced the battery ($108), which took about a month to receive because HP apparently sent the store the battery that goes with the new model of Probook and said it would fit in the old model (it didn't and had to be sent back). When I finally got the new battery it worked for about a day and then I noticed that the message said "Plugged in, not charging" and when the charger isn't plugged in the battery seems to deplete rapidly. Now it's at 36% and not charging.
I spoke to someone today at tech support and she said because it's out of warranty they couldn't help me, but that I should "try a friend's charger" to diagnose the problem myself, as though everyone has the same charger. When I said I didn't have access to another laptop to try another charger she just repeated that I need to try it on a different charger to see if it's a problem with the battery or the charger. But that if it's the battery and I provide them with proof of purchase they could replace that. The battery is brand new and doing the same thing as the last battery, so I doubt this is the problem. I said that I had seen messages all over the internet discussing this problem and that no one seemed to have the answer and she said "Those are on the internet, we haven't substantiated those claims." I'm shocked that HP doesn't seem to care that they get a bad reputation for offering so little help if a product is out of warranty. Because of this experience I doubt I would purchase another product from them, and I would warn others against it too. I've had more computer problems with HP than any other brand of laptop I've had or any of my friends/family have had. In the meantime, has anyone else had this problem? From the forums I've read it seems that occasionally people find solutions, but none seem to be working for me. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Probook 4510s will not boot

I have a Probook 4510s that I got from work. I ordered the original CD's and loaded the OS and drivers. I was getting it set up for my church and had all the software installed. I wanted to remove the Credential Manager so that there wasn't 2 icons on the opening screen and removed it through Control Panel/Program and Features/Uninstall. When I rebooted after the install, the laptop does not recognize the CD Drive or hard drive and does not boot up. In the BIOS set up, I matched the options with another computer of the same model that is working. it now acts like it is reading the CD, but still doesn't boot. The only difference between the 2 is that there are 2 entries missing for HP Quick Look and Prebooth Authentication on HP Quick Look. And there are no devices in the boot order.
I tried moving an already imaged hard drive from another Probook of the same model and it doesn't read that hard drive either. Is there a way to recover or have a damaged my motherboard?

I assume you mean it won't boot from the Recovery cd? Since this is a business class laptop I would suggest posting in the Probook specific forum where they should know more about Credential Manager on business machines and if there is a solution to resolve this.

My HP Probook 6450b is OverHeating...

My HP Probook 6450b keeps overheating and turning off When im watching a youtube video or playing Dolphin Emulator the fan gets very hot and soon it will just shut off i need help......

Your laptop needs internal cleaning, dust builds up in the heatsink and fan which prevents proper cooling. Try HWmonitor to check temperature of the processor/cpu . Cpu cores should be under 70c, 40-50c is normal without doing much on it.
The best way to remove dust is to disassemble the laptop as blowing air in will only push dust everywhere else inside. Disassembling laptops is quite tricky as many things are stacked in such a small space, also parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. If you are not used in doing it, I would go to a reputable computer shop to do it. A quality thermal paste would be a good idea to be applied while the laptop is disassembled to get maximum heat transfer between processor/graphic card and the heatsink.
If you feel confident to do it yourself, I could be of help if you need it
Service manual :
http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03471180-1.pdf
EDIT: Luckily for you, you should only remove the keyboard and switch cover to get access to the fan, from there you will be able to remove the fan and remove dust from the fan and heatsink, be sure to check the fan thoroughly since "hairballs" often sneak in there. Check page 99 of the manual for disassembly

How do I best replace the battery latch in a HP Probook 4510s?

How do I best replace the battery latch in a HP Probook 4510s? After letting it fall, I had to replace the battery latches.

Hi:
Please review the notebook tour guide at the link below. See page 9 for the bottom components illustration.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01849861.pdf
There is a battery release latch on the bottom of the notebook. When you remove the battery there should be a part number on it on a white tag. The part number would be arranged 6 digits a dash, and 3 digits (123456-001).
Then you can input the part number at the HP parts store at the link below. You may need to change the country location at the top. I have it set for the United States.

Portable problèmes batteries et chargeurs HP ProBook 4510s

Bonjour,
Ma copine a un Pc portable HP ProBook 4510s qui déconne au niveau du rechargement de la batterie, je me suis dis que ça venait du chargeur de batterie, car quand on le branche rien ne s'allume ( n'y le voyant à coté du PAD et n'y le petit point blanc en dessous de l'embout qu'on branche pour qu'il charge).
Hier on est aller en chercher un à SuperU, mais ce n'est pas un chargeur officiel, c'est un chargeur multi fonction ( vendu avec plusieurs embouts pour plusieurs sortes d'ordinateur portable ), le mec du magasin essaye, ça marche, mais en arrivant chez nous, il déconne.
On appuie sur le bouton pour démarrer l'ordinateur, les 3 voyants s'allument et se re éteignent de suite. J'ai enlever la batterie de son ordinateur pendant environs 1h30 -2h, et il s'allume normalement, puis avec le peu de batterie qui là, il s'éteint.
J'ai tester le chargeur multi-fontion sur mon ordinateur, mon écran clignote (comme si il charge, puis charge plus, etc etc ), je crois que le chargeur de superU c'est de la mer**...
En puissance il est juste 5 Volt en moins que mon chargeur, donc ça devrait passer.
Donc, je résume :
Chargeur Multi-fonction : Les voyants s'allument, il devrait charger ? mais il s'éteint peu de temps après et parfois il arrive jusqu'au bureaux de windows ( pas souvent )
Chargeur Officiel : Ne charge carrément pas.
Si on enlève la batterie HP ProBook 4510s pendant quelques heures, on dirait qu'elle se ressource ( 2% de batterie en 2H)
Ca pourrait venir d'où ?
Faux contact ? batterie morte ?
Ca fait 1 ans qu'elle a son ordinateur. Os: Windows Vista.
Merci de votre aide,
Bonne journée,
Cordialement,
En outre , j'ai trouvé deux boutiques pour acheter une batterie de portable HP ProBook 4510s ,
-removed store link-
allez-vous me dire quelle l'un des meilleurs de la batterie
Merci d'avance

It could be the battery, or the power cord, are defective. If you know
someone with the same equipment, ask to use it on your system.
Swap battery, then charger, and then battery + charger.

LED code meaning: 13 times (HP ProBook 4510s)

Laptop: Hp ProBook 4510s
When I turn my laptop on, the blue light on the power on button lights for 6 seconds, meanwhile the led near the power plug on right side rapidly blinks 13 times. Always exactly 13 times, so it must be some kind of error code. Then laptop shuts down. Nothing is heard, neither fan, neither hard disk.
What is wrong? I am really in bad situation, I don't have any money and I need this computer. Feeling really bad. Thanks everyone for help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
The situation may be:
Blue Blink 13 times = Abnormality in the power supply voltage.
As it is very difficult to identify the defective part, replacement of the power unit is required.
My suggestion, try the following test
Run on battery only,
Pull out the battery, run on main only
Borrow PSU/charger elsewhere to see any difference.
Good luck,
BH
