My Fan(s) have stopped working properly. - How to send in 4 repairs?

I have a HP Pavillion dv6-2111er.
I bought it in Russia.
The warranty is ofcourse long gone.
I, however, live in Belgium.
Problem: fans SEEM to still rotate, but very slowly. "Speedfan" shows that they're not rotating at all as the RPM = 0. Because of that, average temperature is at 70degrees, going up to 100 when doing something more intense then browsing. When it reaches ~105+ the pc shuts itself down to prevent (further) damage.
Question: how to either repair it myself, or send it in for repairs?

I think you can send the notebook to HP.  There is a charge for the repair and for the shipping, too, of course... This sort of repair is not difficult (for the shop), so I assume it would not be horribly expensive.
One advantage of sending the unit in to HP for repair is that, if you choose to do so, you might be able to opt for a "Tune-up", that is, ask for a "going over" of the computer and have them look at the box and maybe do whatever else may need to be done at the same time... this depends entirely on what they find, what you want to spend, and how long it would take.  I did this on one of my older notebooks when I had to have it in for a NIC replacement.
Contact HP – USA and Worldwide
You could do the same thing at any local repair shop, too.  The trick is to find a reputable shop.  Assuming you live near a city where the resources are available, this should be possible and without undue risk.  You might even be able to get a "loaner" system.  (I do not know whether that is possible; it is something I'd ask about!)  The advantage of using a local shop might be that it takes less time, and you are supporting your local economy.
If you are delayed at all while you are making a decision, get over to your local electronics store and buy a notebook cooler for that notebook.  A notebook cooler is a good thing to have under that box even after it's fixed -- coolers can cost a little bit or a moderate amount of money and they keep the notebook happy, especially when you are pushing it hard - gaming, number crunching, whatever ... or poor fan / air circulation.
Good Luck!

  • All of a sudden some of my sites have stopped working properly on Firefox and I have had to (reluctantly) go back to Internet Explorer to get them to work properly. Why??? Please help because I always prefer Firefox in all internet stuff

    The problem sites have always worked properly on Mozilla Firefox until 2 of them stopped giving full access. I reverted to (yuk) Internet Explorer to see if the problem was still there, but, surprisingly I had full access with both programes. I repeated the attempts a couple of times in Firefox but now have to use IE when I require proper access.
    Is the problem in a setting somewhere??
    Please help because I HATE IE
    Thanks & Regards

  • The home button and the lock button on my ipod tough 4th generation have stopped working. How do I fix this?

    The home button and the lock button on my ipod touch have stopped working. I am now stuck on the page I was on when they were working. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - You may have to use thei program to get the iPod in Recovery mode
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ICal "TO Do's" have stopped working properly.

    My iCal has suddenly stopped working correctly. None of my To Do items show up and in the To Do column the calendar grid shows through. When I try to drag an item into the To Do column nothing happens. I have reloaded OSX 10.4.8 but the problem persists. Any suggestions?
    Dual 450 PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Ditto -- but some more details that might help:
    I am using iCal 2.0.4, and the symptom I first noticed was when I put in new schedule items on the calendar I didn't see them appear on the grid. If I changed views (from day to week or month, etc) I could then see the event properly posted. And if I tried to double-click to create the new event, then start typing it wouldn't change the "new event" to the correct title initially.
    Then I realized that all of my To Do items had vanished. I tried to "find" them and they do not appear. However, I just sync'd my laptop (which is a Powerbook G4, also running 10.4.8 and 2.0.4) and the To Do items appeared in the list.
    I am not seeing problems with the calendar grid showing under the To Do column, although I am wondering if this is more of a GUI problem or a database problem.
    I hope this helps someone (smarter than me) figure out this problem.

  • My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker.  I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source.  How do I get that screen back?

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • My iphone5 speakers have stopped working.  the headphones still work as does the ringer.  the phone indicates it is still in headphone mode.  does anyone know how to fix this ?

    after running i disconnected my iphone headset.  since then my iphone speakers have stopped working.  i can still listen to music using headphones and the phone ringer still works but the speakers are silent.  when i adjust the volume it indicates it is in "headphone" mode.  Any idea how i can solve this problem ?

    I have read in other threads with similar problems that cleaning the headphone jack/port seems to usually work.  The simplest method is to rapidly plug/unplug the headphones a few times.  See if that works.

  • My external speakers have stopped working. A circle with a line through it shows up when I try to adjust the volume.  I have been in system prefrences to check all the sound settings and everything is set properly.  What do I need to do to fix this. Help!

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

  • The hold button and volume buttons have stopped working on my iTouch 4. How can I fix it?

    I've only had it for about 6 months. It's never been dropped or abused in any way. All of the sudden, the buttons just stopped working. How can I fix it? Please help!!

    The issue with the battery is a problem.  The last battery I purchased was at the end of September, so it is NOT old.  I would think that a battery would last longer than 6 months, considering the original one lasted up until that point.  Granted it would not hold as much of a charge, but it still worked at least.  So, at this point, I would think it would be a problem with the laptop and not the battery.  I have asked a few friends of mine, who are IT professionals and they said that it is probably an issue with the internal power supply.  I've also tried replacing the AC adapter and that did not work either.  As you said, you get what you pay for.  Since I paid a good price for this laptop I would think it would last longer than it has.  The other 2 I have do not have this issue.  The DV5215us is on it's second battery, which is reasonable, and it does not have this charging problem.  The tx1115nr also does not have this problem and is still on its original battery.  One would think that since the earlier generations of product would have more problems than the latter, but I guess that is not the case.
    Like I stated eariler I am rough on my laptops and I should probably look at ones that are built more rigid.

  • Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

    Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

    Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
    If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
    You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while  logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.
    One that posted here is waiting on a reply.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox stops working properly after a period of time

    btw, I can't type in this box. I'm typing this in another program and pasting it in.
    Using Firefox 5. I just installed Lion yesterday for Mac, but this problem occurred even before I did so. After a period of time, FF stops working properly. I notice it when I try to open a new tab. It won't switch to the new tab and the screen turns blue. If I type in a web address, it looks like it tries to go there, but it doesn't. When I look at any other already open tab, it has the blue screen. I have to restart to get my proper web pages back.

    Whenever I click on "More System Details" there are several things I hope I won't see. Your Conduit Engine is one of them. It is malware by any reasonable definition and a cause of major problems with Firefox.
    Google for information and advice as to how to get rid of it. Someone may come along with more specific advice..
    If things aren't perfect after that you could do some straightforward troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic Extensions, Hardware Acceleration etc) - in default theme -

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.
