HPcompaq cq 57 fan not wokring properly

Hello,
Here lately I have been recieving this message that my fan in my compaq prisario cq 57 isn't working properly. I recieve this message every time i boot up my laptop, I have tried fixing it with canned air, but it seems to have made it worse as it made a weird nose. I'm guessing the fan needs replacing, but I'm not sure, I'm hoping it's fixable. If in any event I do have to replace the fan any idea where I could buy one online? And what model or voltage would the fan be? How would I find that?

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Replacing the CPU fan requires complete disassembly of the notebook. Compaq presario CQ57 notebook Maintenence & service guide. You will need to discern how your notebook is configured (Discrete or UMA graphics) and whether there is an Intel or AMD CPU installed to purchase the correct fan assembly for your notebook. Do be aware that if you have no experience doing this, then you are accepting the risk of turning your notbook into an expensive paperweight. I recommend that you use youtube disassembly videos or Insidemylaptop.com for a source for tutorials on how to do this.

Error 90B - Fan not working properly?

Hello, this is my first time here so please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong section.
First, general specs:
HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
BIOS: InsydeH20 Version CCB.03.61.09F.21
Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU w/Radeon HD (4 cpus ~1.4GHz)
6g RAM
(If anything else is needed to help me ask, and I shall post it)
Last week I received an error 90B for my laptop's cooling fan. I was playing Guild Wars 2 and in the middle of playing my laptop shut down suddenly. When I turned it back on it presented the error I'm asking about. The thing is, the system wasn't overheating in the slightest and the fan was working just fine before it shut down. I've tried many fixes proposed on HP's website and from a couple of friends:
-Compressed air blown into the vents
-System restore to a point where the fan worked
-Hard reset
-BIOS update
None of those proposed fixes worked. However, I did find something that fixed it...for about ten minutes. I fiddled with the Catalyst Control Center and set my CPU power back to its default 1400 MHz, and I shut down my system. After I restarted it I miraculously didn't get the 90b error! You could imagine how happy I was. I shut it down one more time to see if the error was truly fixed, but lo and behold it showed up again.
The only change that could have caused the issue was me downloading a program called SpeedFan to monitor my system's temperature (I did NOT (I repeat, DID NOT) change any settings using the program - I purely used it to monitor the temperature.)
I cannot afford to have a repairman replace or look at my laptop as of now, we have bills to pay and food to get, and I absolutely NEED this computer to function. I have work to do, and classes to sign up for, and we have no public computers for miles. Please help me!

Not every fan error is a heat error. There is a sensor that detects a bearing that is wearing out or spinning that is out of round. You can sometimes limp it along for 6 months before the fan absolutely has to be replaced. When it does you will not be able to get past the error.

System fan not working properly

i have a hp 15 notebook 15-r004ne laptop and when i turn it on, it states the fan is not working correctly, then shuts down after 15 seconds or continues to windows if you press enter. I dont know what to do now please i need help .
Answers will be appriciated.
Thank You.

The fan may simply be clogged with dust, pet hair,etc. Pick up a can of compressed air and use it to blow out all vents really well.
If the problem continues try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

Cooling Fan Not Working Properly

Hello,
i have an HP Pavilion g7 laptop and when i turn it on, it states the fan is not working correctly, then shuts down after 15 seconds or continues to windows if you press enter. I cleaned all the air vent with compressed air and still get same mesage when i power up. The computer seems to work fine otherwise, but sometimes the fan will run at rather a high speed all night even when it is supposed to be "asleep" with the cover closed. I have to make it hibernate to ensure that it does not run all night like that. Do I need to replace the fan and if so, how?
Thank you!
Rick

Yeah im having the same problem with the same laptop. Im kinda pissed about this because the first month i owned this laptop, that same fan broke and i had to send in into HP to be replaced. So now here we are again with the same part broken.
My friend also bought the same laptop at the same time as me and his fan also broke. So clearly this is a defective part. Not only that but they broke my keyboard during the fan replacement.
So HP are you actually going to do anything about this because i was just on your FB page and repeatedly got ignored by the chick TINA who runs the page or whatever.
So im not too happy at this point, so whats gonna be done about this HP?

Nvidia 560 Ti one fan not working properly

I have a 560 Ti card which has worked well for the slightly over 3 years that I've had it, although yesterday when I turned my computer on I noticed a noise coming from my computer which turned out to be one of the fans on the graphics cards. It begins spinning, gets up to the speed of the working fan, then there is a sound like a motor revving and it stops spinning completely. This happens when I'm idling on my desk top and my GPU is about 40 degrees celcius.
If I launch a game and my GPU goes up to 50-70 degrees celcius the sound actually stops. The fan in question begins spinning continuously, but at a lower speed than the other fan on the card.
I figure this is some kind of fan motor malfunction but I'm not positive. I know there's programs that can control the fan speed on a GPU, are there any that can control them separately?

no, you can't control them separately
you have to replace the FANs, both at once
or replace the entire cooler

Cooling fan is not operating properly.

I am using hp pavilion dv6 3123 tx with windows 7 ultimate os installed. I recently updated the bios via hp support assistant and i don't know whether the bios is updated or not and after two days ,I got a message while booting the system that the cooling fan is not operating properly and it also shows the error message code (90b). Is it safe to use the laptop with a external cooler pad and my laptop is not getting heated too much while using with the cooler pad but before updating the bios too my laptop used to get overheated and it took time to boot. Before updating too i got blank screen while booting up and while playing games it hung too.
I don't know the error message occured was due to updation of bios or not and i also need to know can i use my laptop for final year project work with external cooler pad.can i give my laptop for service.

HP-HP, the fan of the laptop is not functioning properly

Product name:HP-HP

I encountered the problem this morning. When i boot on my laptop there was an error message showing that the fan of my laptop is not functioning well and therefore i should visit this site for support. Thank you.

Hello duckzilla2009, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a message on your notebook about the fan not working correctly. I will try to help you with this.
If you could, please provide the Model and Product numbers for your notebook.
Here are a few documents that may be able to help you with resolve the error message related to your fan.
   System Fan (90b) error message on startup - if you're getting that specific message follow this document.
   Error: CPU Fan Failed - follow this one for any other fan error message or if the above didn't correct the issue.
   Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating - I'm providing this document, as steps involved could help you with the fan. If the notebook is overheating it would be putting a lot of stress on the fan.
Start with that and let me know how things go.

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Some HTML Emails Do Not Display Properly

Recently, some HTML emails do not display properly in Mail. All I see is HTML. Yet, 98% of my HTML emails render properly.
Any thoughts on why this happens with some emails? Is it a Mail issue or are these emails not coded properly?

Hello Tony.
Could be a combination but since Mail renders 98% of of all HTML messages properly (using Safari as the engine), this indicates it is a coding problem.
I'm not a big fan of using HTML with email since it introduces a number of problems. If everyone used Plain Text for message composition, the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated.

Disk not ejected properly notification after upgrade

Hi,
I have a 500GB Western Digital external drive configured for Time Machine. I recently upgraded to Mavericks, now when my computer goes to sleep I get the dreaded "Disk was not ejected properly" message. With Mountain Lion I have experienced this issue when my macbook pro goes to sleep when running a vm in Parallels, but never at any other time.
It wouldn't really be a big deal, but I am connected to a thunderbolt display and when I wake the computer up, I have to unplug the thunderbolt cable and plug it back it in to get my thunderbolt display to turn back on. This is a real pain!
Not sure if this is a bug or configuration issue. Perhaps I might need a third party app like Jettison.
Please help.

Thanks for the info. I reset the SMC and my mbp starting acting very funky. I started experiencing some odd behaviour with my internet connection, so I shutdown my mbp and left it off for at least a minute. When I rebooted I was able to connect wirelessly and hit the sites I could not before.
All good; however, I noticed that my external drive was showing as a usb device and not Time Machine drive. I selected the external drive from the Time Machine prefrences and now all seems to be working fine.
I think this was the actual issue I was experiencing after upgrading. I don't think the SMC reset was necessary in this case, but I gave it a shot because I had noticed the symptom of fans running frequently when there is minimal load and proper ventilation.
Thanks.

Key board of dv6 is not working properly

dv6-2106eo model number and product: wd366ea#uuw,Windows 7 64-bit,
key board use to malfunction like if i type a the cap lock goes on , if type d something else comes on screen(some of those keys are working fine but some are totally mixed up ), previously it was fine but once i tried to clean the fan with pressurised air without opening any of those screw ( dit it from outside ) then it happened , any suggestion will be welcomed

Hum. Cleaning off the keyboard with air should not have made the keyboard not function properly. I would recommend working though this document to make sure the keyboard language is set up properly:
Incorrect Characters are Displayed when Using Keyboard
Let me know if this resolves the issue.
Thanks!
