Laptop fan stays at 90% everytime? it won't stop?

can anyone please help me, this is really getting annoying because the fan speed is always on 90%, i checked the health monitor and the temperature was 39C. It is not even hot, the fan is blowing cold air and when i touch the area its not hot. Something is wrong with my laptop, i turned it on yesterday and the fan never stopped. It's really and it still keeps on going and constantly on 90% fan speed.
My toshiba is a sattelite L650

Edit your post again, and remove your serial number. That is not something you should post on this public forum. This is a peer support form, NOT a offical Toshiba Tech Support site. We're all just other users & Toshiba owners.
Yours is a Toshiba Australia model. Unfortunately, they way Toshiba Australia & Europe both do their BIOS updates, I can't see what the various update fixes are. So, click on the 'Start' button, type sys , click on 'System Information', look on the right side for 'BIOS Version/Date'. If you don't have version 2.40, download this file to your desktop, then restart your computer, after a fresh restart double click on this file to begin the installation, follow the directions carefully.
BIOS Update 2.40

Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

G61 laptop fan on all the time

(Reposted because the model number was incorrect first time around)
Hi,
Around a week after I bought it, I have noticed that the fan in my Windows 7 G61 laptop is very loud and constantly on, starting the moment the machine is turned on. I have heard that this can be changed in the BIOS by disabling "Fan Always On" but I am not happy to do this as I am worried that the system will overheat.
The fan noise is not due to dust accumulation as the laptop is brand new, and there is nothing blocking the vents. Furthermore, the fan is on even when the machine is stone cold with nothing but Windows running.
The problem appears to have only just made itself felt as I am sure I would have noticed it earlier.
I have two questions:
- Is it safe to disable "Fan Always On" in BIOS while running on battery or AC?
- Is there any other way to keep the fan quieter?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi I'm also having this problem. Fan will stay on at full speed although cpu and harddrive stay relatively cool. The air getting blown out the vent is also cool indicating that its software and not the hardware since its brand new (under a month old). I have also checked for a bios update which there was one. I updated to it fine but still fan stays at full speed. I have tried turning off the bios option 'fan allways on' but then I find that the fan does not come on enough to cool the internals and gets slightly too hot for comfort. I now think its due to the fan algorithms in the bios being borked and that hp knew about this fault and were lazy and just stuck fan allways on option instead of properly optimizing and alternating the fan speeds. all left to do now is wait for hp to realize consumers are being affected by this and will release a proper bios update. Thanks. Matt

Fan won't stop running

Early 2008 27 inch iMac running latest version of Lion.
I had a hard drive that kept corrupting files (not the original HD, been replaced once by apple) so I replaced it with a new (ish) 1 Tb WD green. But after I did this my fan won't stop running. I thought I had disturbed the HD temp sensor so I opened it back up again and made sure it was properly on the HD closed it but still constant fan.
from istat pro I'm getting readings
HD 37
CPU 29
CPU heatsink 28
Airport Card 30
GPU heatsink 33
HD Bay 38
Mem Controller 29
Optical Drive 30
All my temp values are there, so I assume my sensors are fine. I don't have AHT as I don't have my original install disks (I lost them somewhere in the last 7 moves between houses) I already tried resetting the SMC.
Can anyone tell me if these readings are normal? Are any high that would be causing my fan to stay on?

Um, OK. I've just realized that the fan isn't running any more, and I've been using it for a couple of hours. I'm not sure if I should do anything else or just not look a gift horse in the mouth. Anyone have an opinion?

Laptop P505D-S8000 went to sleep but won't wake up...

Laptop was put to sleep and now won't wake up. Power, plug & battery lights are on and power switch is lit. No hard drive activity at boot. Fans run than stop. I tried all the known tricks of removing battery & power cord, pushing power button for 60 secs, than powering up with power cord only. This seems to be the fixall for this problem when I searched the web but only seems to work for 1 out of 10 people. I have checked the screen at an angle to make sure the backlight is not out but since I am not getting activity on the hard drive I figured it was OK. I get nothing by trying to boot into setup modes, bios checks or safe mode.
Any last advice other than take it to a toshiba tech? Rick

Unfortunately that fix doesn't always work because these symptoms often represent a hardware failure.
Just to confirm, the power LED (not the AC adapter LED) does light up when you press the power button, right? If so, it does sound like you'll need to get the notebook serviced.

My macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

my macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas? It's really worrying me because I haven't had it for up tp 2months and last week everytime I switch it on it makes sooo much noise. And I treat like an egg so I don't understand whats going on.

Hey,
My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.
Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

I have a new Macbook Air and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on. The computer is not hot.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,
Regard,

Have you tried holding the power and home button until it turns off?

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

How to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print

hi all

whenever i print it stays there, and doesnt disspear everytime automatically

When you print your next document, right click or control click on the printer icon in the Dock. This will provide you with a menu of options. One of them is Auto Quit. Select it. Quit the printer queue and then print another document. The printer "app" will now quit after a successful print.
Hope this helps.

Fan won't stop on my iMac

I have a 2011 iMac (21.5") and the fan won't stop running at full blast. I've spoken with Applecare support, and done all the steps... Which were:
1) SMC reset - performed three times
2) PRAM reset
3) Left the computer off overnight
4) Checked activity monitor - Nothing is open, and the actual activity monitor was the process taking up the most CPU, which was only 2%.
5) My hard drive is nowhere NEAR full - I still have 400GB/500GB available.
The computer functions properly, but the fan is just going non-stop. What could the issue be? I will definitely have to bring this in to the genius bar, but this is my father's computer and he isn't available during business hours to take this in. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks for the help.

Try running the Extended Apple Hardware Test to see if it has a hardware (thermal sensor or SMC) problem. It won't fix the problem, but it may help you understand and guide the service tech to the problem.

My cooling fan won't stop kicking in on Mac Pro

Suddenly in the last week or so my cooling fan started kicking in while over the past 2+ years it has only run once or twice - now it won't stop!
I thought that it may have been due to an increase in RAM from 7G to 24G (3, 8G matched sticks) but after un-installing the 24G it was still running frequently, though not as much.
I have performed (in order) both a PRAM and SMC reset. I have also repaired all discs, reset permissions and dumped render files (I primarily use my Mac for video editing in FCP X).
I am fearing now that this may in fact be due to recent updates to Lion (10.7.3) or FCP X (10.0.3)
In an attempt to get FCP X to run better (there are many bugs in the latest update as evidenced by numerous posts in that discussion area) I also contacted NVIDIA for updates to my graphics card and was told by them that it is not compatible with Lion. I now have a Radeon card on order from the Apple store.
Any other advice?? This fan is not only an annoyance for me but as I also record voice-overs for my clients I simply cannot have it running all the time.

> I am fearing now that this may in fact be due to recent updates to Lion (10.7.3) or FCP X (10.0.3)
Only if the RAM is "defective" or "boarderline" would a new OS trigger an issue. But then someone else jumped to same conclusion when they upgraded to Lion recently and had been running Snow Leopard for awhile.
Every new OS brings some changes and some RAM will fail and fall to the wayside but the only way to know is trial and error; to get the vendor to replace and test.
Sometimes the RAM has been loosely seated. Sometimes the OS seems to be potential culprit (doesn't happen with clean install).
A USB or Firewire cable can be enough, too, even if just plugged and not attached to a powered on device.
You can even try two 8GB DIMMs and leave one out and see if process of elimination is of any value, or even boot wtih just a single DIMM. You don't need to have two or more.
But I would not mix 8GB with others, sounds like you had 3 x 2GB + 1GB, or 3 x 1GB + 4GB which would look and sound to be more iffy than your new set.
Btw, where did you get new set?

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?
