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?

Lap top pavilion dv 7 shutting down Error 908 cooling fan not working

Since two days my HP pavilion dv 7 lap top has been heating up. I started getting warning notice error 908. One of the cooling fans apparnetly is not working properly and the system is shutting down.

If the operation has slowed you might also want to check the hard drive. Go back into the BIOS and look for the hard drive diagnostic test and run it. If the laptop came with Windows 8 you can also go into the "enhanced" diagnostics which is easier to use, with mouse support and such. Tap F2 as you power up instead of F10. You can run a whole bunch of diagnostics in there like memory and hard drive and DVD drive. Let us know the results.

My laptop speakers are not working properly so wanted to visit service centers of hp in london

from yesterday night my laptop HP pavilion g6 speakers are not working properly. out of many only one speaker is working so i want to visit authorized service centers so that i can fix the issue.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56460.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if this has had any effect on the audio issue.

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.

Cooling fan not working...????

when i m turn on my laptop...
there is message display that cooling fan is not working correctly..???
& shut down after 15 sec now what is the problem is happen???

We need the model number of the laptop to give detailed help. One thing you can try is to remove the battery and AC adapter. Bent out a paperclip and stick it in the fan grille to hold the blades. Blow in compressed air. Now put the AC adapter in and start up. Tap F10 to enter BIOS. As you leave reset BIOS to default. This may remove the message. If not the fan needs to be replaced.

Hp pavilion g6 1000sa cooling fan not working

My hp pavilion g6 is displaying the message cooling not operating properly please turn off or risk causing permanent damage
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well it is either blocked, has a bad BIOS setting or the fan is dead and needs to be replaced. Try sticking a bent-out paperclip in the grille to hold the blades and blast some strong compressed air in there. Also try a hard reset....remove battery and AC charger and hold down power 30 seconds then plug in and try again. Also go into BIOS (F10) and set BIOS to default settings. If that does not work it has to be disassembled and the fan replaced.

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

Windows 8 laptop cooling system not working anymore

This morning when I turned on my laptop it said that my cooling system is not working property and I need to turn it off right away . I got my laptop from Best Buy and it's a Satellite C855D-S5104 . How much does it cost to get it replaced? I'm using my iPad to write this by the way. And I wanted my whole laptop like just restart just swipe everything on it and yeah. How much does that cost too?

If its just the regular cooling system then probably its just 10-20 but if its intact w/ the MOBO then roughly its gonna give 50$ or higher i dont know w/ the labors and repair

IBook Cooling Fan not working correctly.

My G4 iBook's cooling fan no longer comes on. It gets really warm after being on for a while, but the fan does not come on.

Yes. The new iBook 12" that I have is confirm to have heating problems with the Toshiba Hard Drive 40GB. I have sold like 20 of them that have such issue. And I have one as well!
I am going to call apple care hotline to find out later.
Because the hard drive is so hot and really shoot up to 70C when I switch on the Processor to highest performance in system preferences setting.
and it will shoot up to 6xC when I am just listening to iTunes for more than a few hours.
I think Apple should change a better hard drive for users.
because I do allot of typing and i could felt my left palm is actually very uncomfortable, especially when i am doing multimedia scripting and typing some database information. It just gets near to a burning state if I keep my palm longer there. Currently, I am using a cool gel pad for eyes to keep the heat in control and my palm away from it. I have a powerBook Pismo before that the bottom of the machine is hot. That's OK, because i work allot on table top even going out. This is annoying with the left palm rest heating problem.
I hope Apple should take note on this serious heating hard drive and change it for all the users soon.

New laptop - beats audio not working properly

Product name:HP Envy dv7t-7300 Quad Edition
OS: Windoze 8
Issue: This is a brand new notebook. We were using Skype video and the sound volume was very poor (very low). So we decided to plug in the USB-powered speakers we have used on a Dell laptop for hte last year. There was no sound. We unplugged the speakers and there was no sound from the notebook. On a whim, Iplugged the speakers back in and out and suddenly the enhanced (beats) audio started to work, but we could not control the voilume (the volume bar showed 0% but the sound was extremely loud. I played a youtubs video and the sound was still loud. I played a system sound from the control panel and the sound was extreme;y loud.. I plugged the speakers back in and there was again no sound. I unplugged them and again there was no sound.
No sound. I have rebooted twice and still no sound. Windoze 8 shows everything working fine. It apperas that ther is a hardware mechaniscal issue in the headphone plug. Also, when watching the sound controls on Windoze 8, Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, there are currently three sound devices onthe Volume Mixer display: S235HL, System Sounds, and HPConnectRe..... When I plug in the speaker mini-plug, the S235HL panel disappears. When I unplug the mini plug, the S235HL display momentarily (1/4 second) appears and then disappears. When I do it a third time, I get a pull down on the System Sounds which allows me to make the S23HL display appear again.
I'm pretty sure that there is supposed to be some way to control the volumn on the beats audio, and I'm pretty sure that the headp[hones jack is supposed to work properly like it has on my presios 5 or 6 laptops. Is this a mechanical issue? Or are we doing something wrong?

Hello nancyes. I understand you're having trouble with your sound.
Have you tried uninstalling the device's drivers and allowing Windows to reinstall them? Try the following.
From either the Metro or Desktop views press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the Context Menu.
Select Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Now reboot your PC.
Windows will automatically install the device when it loads.
Verify whether the problem persists.
I'll keep an eye out for your response. I hope you have a great day!

Startup error message "system cooling fan not working" (90B)

My envy15 running window 7 gives me this message on statup with warnings of interntant shutdowns or system damage. The fan is indicated as 90B
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi
I think it's indicating to replace the fan and heat sink assembly.
It occurs due to overheating & this decreased performance.
Try to do a hard reset first.
You may try doing a COMPLETE HARD DRIVE TEST & COMPETE MEMORY TEST from BIOS soon after powering on the system & pressing F10 or F2.
If you want any help, post back.
