Laptop fans stopped working!

I own an MSI laptop, model number M285 or FID2010. For some reason when the laptop switches on the fans start running, but as soon as the laptop begins to load windows the fans stop, causing the laptop to overheat. Can anyone please tell me why it is doing this and how to resolve it? Does the BIOS need re-flashing?
Thanks in advance for your help

I don't recall reading any posts on MSI laptops in any of our forums. I would suggest you contact MSI directly:

Laptop fan stops working

Hi all,
I've got a dv6-6136tx which I have had for about 2 years now. Just recently (earlier today) my fan just stopped while playing a game. The cpu was running at about 78 celcius and the gpu at 72 clecius.
Is there any particular reason for this? Is there anyway to stop it from doing it?
any help would be appreciated!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

For some reason, the specifications were not listed on HP's site.
Page 90 of this manual details the various fans and heatsinks available for the various models of DV6 notebooks. You will need to match the part number with the processor and video card system. Once you have the part number, you can look it up here. Be sure to select the proper country at the top-right.
I don't know if you are familiar with the terms discrete and UMA, so I will provide the translation below.
Discrete video memory = dedicated memory. This means the video card's RAM does not pull from the system RAM. Think of this as a dedicated video card versus integrated video cards.
UMA = integrated video card memory. This means it pulls from the system RAM.
The part store, or part surfer, should list if thermal paste is included. I have not seen any yet that do not include it, but there is a first for everything. I recommend using a thermal paste cleaner to remove the old thermal paste and to use fresh thermal paste with the new heatsink. The fan is not sold separately, so might as well replace the heatsink as well.
Let me know how it goes.

GPU Fan stop working.

Hi Everyone,
I just bought this laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6009tx Entertainment Notebook PC a year ago, from my school's roadshow. Until recently, the fan stops working... my computer started to heat up real bad to around 70 degree celcius. I still have 2 year warranty for this laptop. Can I ask if hardware failure replacement is covered by the warranty? Cheers!
- Alan.

If the fan has stopped working HP will (should) fix it under warranty. Call them and report it.

Laptop fan dosent work.

Hello I have a Satellite L650, the serial number is:XXXXXXXXX and the model number is PSK2CU-0M801X. The fan on my laptop recently stopped working although I have a cooling pad it still heats up. I have updated my Bios and Windows 7. I have read articles about the TOSHIBA Cooling Performance Diagnostic Tool but cannot seem to find the download link, any help would be appreciated.
[Moderator edit to remove serial number.]

I am attaching a manual for your laptop.
As for the fan, are you having any other difficulties with any other electrical pieces?
If you are not, then I would replace the fan.

Upgraded to windows 7 = fan stopped working

Hi, I recently upgraded to windows 7, and when I did that my fan stopped working. So now when I'm playing a game I can play about 20 min before the computer shuts down because of overheating (I'm using a cooling plate, that's why I can play for so long).
I've upgraded everything on this laptop (including the BIOS), but the fan still won't work.
I hope that you can help me.
I have an lenovo thinkpad W500
Thanks for taking your time, I appreciate that

Coincidence? After upgrading to 7 Pro, my W500 has been running significantly hotter and battery life has plumeted. I can hear the running. It's so hot that I can barely hold it...

My laptop suddenly stopped working

my laptop suddenly stopped working and when i restart it the power button lights up but the screen doesn't on. and also the capslock is on and another light ons on the keybord with a symbol of all four arrow keys(its not a key) i really am having trouble with it. if anybody can help me please..

Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, press and hold the power on button for a minimum of 30 seconds, then replace the battery and see if it powers up. If not, repeat the above but this time only plug the AC adaptor in and see if it works. If that doesn't help, repeat the above and this replace the battery and plug the AC back in. If that doesn't take care of it you should remove the memory sticks reseat them, them try again. If you have two sticks try with only one at a time to see if that helps. If not, try removing the hard drive and boot to a Linux Live CD or some self booting diagnostic cd to see if the hard drive is the problem. If none of the above helps you'll need to take it to an authorized service center if it's still under warranty, or to any repair shop if it isn't.

Old GX660 fan stopped working

Hey,
I still use my old GX660 as a media center but the fan stopped working, since it's been a long time, easily more than 3 years I was wondering how I could get a new fan please... it's just that part that I need everything still works perfectly.

How much would this cost do you think, I found the fan on the internet and I'd pay less than 30€, I don't know if it's even worth sending it to MSI I'm sure they'll charge me for shipping (and return) + repair fees.

My fan stopped working

my fan suddenly stopped working and the computor shuts down

The fan could have stopped for a few reasons. It could have blockage such as dust/hair preventing it from spinning. It could be physically broken and unable to turn. It could be a motherboard/BIOS issue.
You can take the notebook apart but it's not as easy as removing a panel on the bottom.
Is it still under warranty?

Dv7t - 2000 fan stopped working

the fan has completely stopped working. I tried spraying it with air but it did nothing. I'm not certain what to do...I don't want to open it up because that would probably void the warrenty.

Yes it will. This is one where you need to contact HP Support.

Fan stopped working

My MacBook Pro is getting very hot and I think that may mean the fan has stopped working. Is this something I can replace?

Yes if it is the fan, you can replace it if you are fairly techincal/mechanical. You will need to have the model # which you can find here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4132
You can check the internet by searching replace Macbook Pro Fan, there are sites for parts and how to vids, like the folowing;
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Core+Duo+Model+A1150+Left+Fan+Re placement/501
You will need some tools, #00 phillips, triwing screw drivers, etc..
If you are not comfortable, you can bring it to an Apple genius bar for a FREE diagnosis/repair quote.
Also try an SMC reset to see if it may be the fan controller setting:

Follow directions for the battery that you have, you can remove yourself, or a battery you should not remove yourself

Hi.
I failed to configure xorg.conf to get "static" dual head configuration, but I managed to do this with xrandr
2 tricks i had to do:
1. define sufficiently large "Virtual" size in "Display" subsection in "Screen" Section of your xorg.conf
2. xrandr -q allowed me to use 1024x768 maximum resolution, but I found in google setup for 1280x1024 and added it with "newmode" and "addmode" options in randr...
you can find more info at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html, and in xrandr manpage.
I hope it will help...
