Only fan comes on
After removing, cleaning and reconnecting the keyboard on my satellite a655 laptop the computer doesn't power up. It sounds like only the fan comes on. It does not appear that the hard drive is starting and the monitor remains off

You are never below the radar here. Since responders are all volunteers, we come to the forums when we have the time. Besides, many of us respond in several forums, and we respond to questions about which we feel we have something to contribute. And, finally, some forums have a larger number of contributors than others, and that is especially true of the OS X forums. Harware forums tend to be less visited by most responders.
I agree with your thinking of either selling individual parts or keeping the parts and buying a 'Book with a good logic board and possibly needing parts you have. Take a look at PowerBookTech for an idea of prices for parts.

Only fan comes on with power after a drop
My wife dropped her 12-inch G4 1.5GHz PB. Afterwards, it wouldn't boot. When I pushed the power button, the fans came on and kept running, but that was it. I tried to boot from my Tiger DVD, but there was no change (and now I can't eject the DVD!)
I thought it might have been the hard drive, so I bought a new one and installed it. No change.
What else might be wrong? I'm kind of thinking the shock of the drop broke something on the logic board, which would mean that this is not worth fixing. But if I am overlooking something simple ...
Any ideas why the fan would come on with power but no screen, no gray apple, no DVD eject, etc.?
Hate to see this one die - it was a really solid little computer!Chris:

I am using a 21.5 iMac (bought in Nov 2009 I believe).
While asleep, the computer fans will come on after variable time intervals. I hit the power button and the fan goes off only to come back on. The fans run only at medium levels.
I do have wake on lan turned on but I have disconnected the Ethernet cable and turned airport off. When I wake the computer with the fans going, Activity Monitor shows no process going except Activity Monitor. The only peripheral attached is an empty usb-ipod cable.
Any thoughts?Hi Lewis, Take a look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307200&tstart=60

Hi all,
The fan on my iBook has come on twice in the past couple of days. About the same number of apps open as usual - iChat, Safari, Mac Mail and MS Word were open both times...
The past few days the weather has been fairly hot (around 32 C/90 F) - I'm not sure whether that has anything to do with it, only that the fan has only rarely come on in the past.
So I put the computer to sleep to allow it to cool down.
But I'm wondering if it would be better to leave it on with the fan running....
What do others do?
12 iBook G4,1.2 GHz, 768 RAM ; iMac 350 slot-loading Mac OS X (10.4.3)Hi again,
It should be OK to continue. The fan cuts in to cool things down so that you can continue working. Shutting down in the middle of something just because the fan comes on is rather defeating the object.
Like I said above, I just carried on with the game when my fan came on, it stopped after 5 mins or so with no apparent ill effects.
My iMac's fan is always noisier in the summer, (Must be a two stage fan or something). I've never worried about it. Just dismissed it as 'it's doing its job'.

Intermittent Problem - Fans come on full
Hello Members,
A while ago I posted a kernel panic on this forum, and got some useful informtion. Thanks.
I have a new system, and what seems to me, a NEW problem.
The fans (somewhere) come one full blast (or something, DVD drives??). In any case the
system makes a very loud noise, which sounds like fans coming on.
The noise seems to be coming from the top of the system, near where the two DVD drives are.
I checked the system, while it was making this noise.
1. I stopped the video card fan momentarily - not the problem.
2. Stopped the gray fan at the rear by the cards, not the problem.
3. Stopped the gray fan near the front of the system, not the problem.
So it is not these three fans causing the noise. My latest issue with this system:
I put the system to sleep over night. At 8am, I hear the fans come on full (or whatever the noise is).
The system was still "asleep". I pressed keys on the keyboard, moved the mouse, etc. The system
would not wake up. I depressed the power button part way, no wake up there either.
Finally I pressed and held the power button down until system shutdown. I restarted the system a few
minutes later. The restart was OK.
I have (counting the system disk) 4 internal SATA drives
2 DVD drives
1 Lacie Quadra d2 running on the PCI ex - USB 3.0
2 G-tech drives running on firewire 800 (for general backup, and one for timemachine)
Processor: 2x2.66 6 Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24GB, 1333 DDR3 ECC
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5870.
This is a REPLACEMENT system from Apple! They could not fix a previous system (still under warranty), so they did
provide a new system (thank you Apple). BUT the older replaced system exhibited similar problems!
Any one have any ideas? Yes, I plan to take this system to the apple store, but the issue is so intermittent, that it is unlikely that
the system will make the noise in the store (plus I have to remove peripherals, etc)
Any info will help,
Thank,
Eric

Thanks for the confirmation. I ended up removing the PCI card and uninstalling the driver.
I am now running the drive from the USB 2.0 port on the computer. Lacie never owned up to
the fact that the PCI express card and USB 3.0 are not "safely" functional on Mac Pro with Lion.
I am testing the system, only time will tell.
Thanks again,

Hi everyone. Eversince my macbook came back from the random shutdown problem repair, I think that my fans come on a lot. For example, if I am just watching anything with flash (e.g. youtube, google videos, etc) or watching a DVD, the fans will come on full blast.
Is this normal? Do ya'll also have the fans coming on when doing something slightly intensive?
Thanks.I have the same problem. Very very annoying. I'm
running 10.4.8, and since this upgrade, my fan ALWAYS
comes on full blast with any movie, video ichat,
flash video, etc.
I'm contemplating switching to a MBP because of this
as well as some poor performance with my MB.
That's the way it's supposed to work. Unfortunately, with the graphics circuit used in the MacBook, it puts a load on the processors causing the fan to ramp up when viewing most video.
I play poker with a 3-D software application that causes my fan to run loud when there are a lot of players present, and video action going on. I may upgrade to a pro too when the CoreDuo 2 models come out. About the only thing I don't like about the MacBook is the weaker graphic performance.

Its just stops, freezes, and the fans come on.....
This the third time in 2 days. I have been using my Imac for a year with no problems. So I'm not freaking out but like an a** I didnt get apple care. Oh I have a business so I can buy it. Whatever. In cases any fellow mac-ers didn't know if you have a business you can buy apple care after the original warrenty runs out.
Anyways
My (baby) Imac will just freeze and about 30 seconds go by, and the fans come on like a helicopter. I let it sit for a cople of mins and saw no change. I just turned it off. Has anyone experianced this?Shifty, could you please post where you got the information that you can buy AppleCare after your warranty runs out? As fas as I know, it can only be purchased before or on, the last day of your original warranty.
As to your fan problem, look and see if your serial number is among those in Apple's Repair Extension Program, if so, your repairs, which probaly will include a new Power Supply Unit and logic board, will be made under the extended warranty.
Please post back with the information,
thanks,

I have an old imac G5 (non Intel) The screen went blank but the fan turns very loudly. I cannot reboot the computer. whenever I start it I get power and black screen and the fan comes on loudly after about 30 secs. I have tried rebooting pressing varius keys, but no luck. I once got the flashing question mark, but I can't get that either. I'd like to reboot from the disc, but I cannot insert a disc. Any help out there??
If zapping the PRAM does not get it working, it's time for a new iMac. Repairs will not be worth the cost. Put it towards a new iMac.
I've been there, done that. Had my burial last summer. -
PS and CPU fan comes on merely by plugging in AC power
I am repairing a friends Athlon xp machine and have tested everything with extras.
I put a new MSI KM4M-V board in. The pc runs xp fine, etc., etc., however, when shut down the pc, Windows shuts down, but the ps and cpu fan stays on. Indefinitely. I have to either flip the on/off switch on the back of the ps or pull the damn plug.
What gives?
When I plug the thing in cold, same thing; the fans come on and then I press the start button whenever I want and the system posts and boots normally.
A motherboard Short? I checked the switch and even pulled the connector; the fans still come on when I plug it in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
J RomulusYes, I've let it run for hours after Windows shuts off, it simply doesn't go off.
Simply plugging it in or flipping ps switch, the same thing; ps and cpu fans come on automatically.
I've read all the APIC threads; if I were strictly having problems shutting down, maybe it be that. But it is so strange that it does it from a cold start.
Got to be some kind of short, or else a bad board. -
I'm new to iPhone and iCloud... I have lots of pics on my iPhone but only some appear on my iPad, they're in Camera Roll on the phone but random ones only have come into Photos on the iPad - can anyone help? Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device

My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) has cursor problems when the fan comes on.
Hi, I have been trying a variety of recommendations to see why my MacBook Pro seems to be having slowness issues. yes, I took it in to the Mac store and they found nothing. I have tried some other things that I think may have helped but now I see that specifically the cursor goes crazy when the fan kicks in and when the fan goes off it is okay again. I have run SMART Utility & I didn't see anything from that.
The fans coming on and the cursor going crazy are a correlation, not a cause-and-effect.
The fans come on when measured temperatures inside your computer are getting too high. The fans come on to try to exhaust the excess heat. If the cursor goes crazy at the same time, this is likely to also be caused by the computer getting too hot, not by the fans.
This is one possible cause:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity -
24" iMac - fan comes on, Mac won't sleep
Sometimes when I try to "sleep" my Mac, the fan comes on, the screen blanks, and then immediately it comes to life. Other times the fan comes on, even though I don't think it's overheating, and then maybe I can sleep it, and maybe I can't.
Anyone else seen this problem? It's not the end of the world, but it's pretty annoying!!I spent 25 minutes on the phone with AppleCare and we did a lot of things like resetting the PMU, the PRAM, reparing the hard drive, trying to do the same with another user account. It turns out it's a hardware problem and I need to send the computer to a service center...
Basically: no solution we can find on our own.
My iMac is 20 days old so that makes me quite unhappy... -

Hello, did you get any OSX Install Discs with it?
Hold option or alt key at bootup, do any boot choices show up?
Any other Macs with Firewire around? -

Solved!
Go to Solution.What lead_org is referring to is commonly known as "re-balling" which involves unsoldering the Southbridge chip from the planar, replacing all (6-700) solder balls with new ones and then re-attaching it under heat/pressure.

Running hot, fan comes on every few minutes
I have recently had my powerbook G4 in for repairs to the LCD 5 times in the past few months. Now, it has started running hotter than usual and the fan comes on every few minutes while I am working.
Any ideas about what might be going on would be appreciated.Maybe a short circuit somewhere at the LCD panel that causes the PB becoming hot very soon. Was the LCD issue a warranty repair ?
I would ask the company that did the repair, respectively Apple (if it was a warranty) for assistance.

My IpodTouch won't turn on! Even when the charger is plugged in.
