Pavilion dv6 - fan noise

I recently purchased a dv6 A7N50EA and I'm finding the fan is coming on rather frequently, making quite a lot of annoying noise. It seems to happen more when I'm watching video so I wonder whether there's a fan on the video card (the laptop has a separate Radeon graphics card); if so is it normal to make so much noise?

Have you cleaned the fan lately?

HP pavilion dv6 fan not working

My HP PAVILIONDV6T-6100 laptop (Product no. LM720AV) is having problems with the cooling fan and overheating. I have started getting the cooling fan not functioning error at startup. When I use the laptop-the cooling fan runs almost all the time. It turns-off when I have only one application running on the laptop.
I understand that since the fan is running perfectly fine, the fan motor is still functional. Could it be dust accumulation that is causing the error and fan running continuously? Where can I get the insturctions for opening the cooling fan assembly and cleaning it? Also will I need to replace the thermal insulation after cleaning?
Thanks
Sunny

I paid $30,000 for my car but I trust the dealer to work on it because I know their mechanics do it every day. I could watch youtube videos and figure out how to do a tuneup but they will do it better. I will change my own air filter however since it is not too hard and will save money. Replacing a cooling fan is more like a tuneup than replacing an air filter. Still, you can do it if you follow the Manual and are careful. Here is the Manual:

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03015537.pdf
The available fan/heatsink combos with HP part numbers can be found in chapter 3, on page 27.
In order to get the right one you need to know what hardware is installed in your PC.
Since it is a CTO (configured to order), there are no product specs available.
So it is incumbent upon you to know for example if your notebook has an Intel processor and a graphics
subsystem with 2048-MB discrete memory.
Once you determine the right part number you need, you can order it online at the link below.
http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Default.aspx?mscssid=2DE434CEF5B743168A44405770DB2EA5
If you want a second opinion on if you are choosing the right part, I will be happy to help once you describe the specs for your PC.

PAvilion dv6, fan not working correctly?

Was on my laptop, it shut down randomly, notification popped up saying fan was not working correctly. Is there a way to fix this? Or will it have to be sent away?

Try a can of compressed air in the reverse direction of the normal air flow. You may just have a massive amount of dust on the inside of the heatsink near the fan blades.
Here is a youtube video and about 15min in you can see the fan clearly:

[HELP] HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa fan - abnormal whirring and grinding noises even after replacement

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit
BIOS version: F.1 C (current) 01-2013
My laptop fan started making a very loud grinding and whirring noise constantly (very loud, easily heard in other rooms from the laptop) and after cleaning out with compressed air with no improvement I decided to get the fan replaced as it was clearly worn out in some way. (This laptop fan has always been loud, but never making this sort of grinding sound).
Replacement fan was ordered directly from HP and installed. However, while the noise is much quieter, the fan is still making a constant sort of whirring/very low grinding noise which gets louder and changes pitch whenever the fan kicks up to a higher speed. While the laptop is now at least useable, this noise is still annoying after being on for a long time and I did not expect it to still have the same problem after fully replacing the fan.
Since then I have looked online for solutions and similar problems, having since flashed the BIOS to the latest version, checked both the hard drive and memory in the BIOS (both proved fine) and tried switching between having the fan mode set to always on or not always on in the BIOS and messing around with HP coolsense. None of these have helped remove this constant whirring sound.
Now this laptop fan has always been loud. That I am ok with, I know the sound of a loud, yet working fan drawing air, but this is not the same sound. The fan is still drawing air sufficiently and keeping the system temperature down to an acceptable level, but this constant whirring noise is annoying when having to work on the laptop.
[In Summary]
-HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa Laptop fan had loud whirring/grinding noise
-Fan was replaced
-Noise reduced and grinding somewhat gone, but whirring and some grinding remains even with the new fan from HP
Any help would be great, I have tried to include as much information regarding the problem as I can but if there is anything else needed dont hesitate to ask and I can try to provide such information as required.
Michal.

Also, when the fan is running at higher speeds the whirring/grinding noise is quieter and less noticable than when it is running at very low speeds... When running at very very high speeds (while playing games) the fan sounds almost the same as my old one when it was still working, and at high speeds its more a whirring humm... Then at lower speeds it goes back to a more low whirring/grinding.
Not sure if this helps but its just something I've noticed... Any help with this problem?

Noise in hp pavilion dv6

Hello,
I'm a master student in communication in Epfl but I didn't figure it out
There is a strage noise while I open and close mechanically the laptop. Actually I can change the noise with IDT, however
I cannot remove that. The noise comes from the boxes not the ports because I opened and removed it. If I mute the laptop the noise doen't appear.
I think it is related to monitor because while I open and close it mechanically it makes the strange noise.
And I checked the cables of monitor and everything was alright.
Is there any expert who has faced this problem to help me?

Hi Erixhen,
I understand you are having sound issues with the HP Pavilion dv6. Here is a document to make sure it is not an audio issue.

Check this document on cleaning fans and dust in the HP Pavilion dv6.

Cooling fan stops working at high temperatures - HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea

HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC
Windows 7 64-bit
For the past two days the fan turns off a few minutes into a game and doesn't turn back on until the laptop has cooled down to about 70C. This did occur after the laptop was used on a surface that did not allow it to cool down properly for about an hour. There haven't been any major changes or updates to the system and the fan is clean. Is there something that I can do to fix this issue?

HP Pavilion dv6-6b50sa notebook - Fan problems

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit
BIOS version: F.19 05-2012
The fan on my laptop failed earlier during the year and was replaced with a new unit. However since then the fan seems not to run fast enough in response to increased loads on the cpu and GPU. For instance previously when starting a video game the fan would instantly kick up to a higher speed and remain there, cooling the laptop sufficiently. Now the fan will often take a lot longer to get up to speed, and with some games simply refuses to go beyond normal idling speeds even as the temperature increases.
Any help with this? I'm not sure if its a hardware or software issue. When I am back home again I will be replacing the fan with another new one to see. Tried updating the BIOS, have also installed HP coolsense and cleaned out the fan to no avail.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks
Michal

DV6 laptoip fan noise solution?

I recently upgraded my DV6-6100 to Windows 8 which is not an HP supported upgrade and eliminated the HP Power Manager and switchable graphics (Now running on the Intel graphics).
After the upgrade the laptop fan would switch to high speed periodically, run for a while, then go back to normal. Task manager did not show high CPU or other activity and SpeedFan showed temp at 117F-120F whether the fan was running or not. During the high speed runs the fan noise was objectionably loud.
I first tried to fix the problem by enabling FanAlwaysOn in the BIOS in he hope of eliminating heat build up but that didn't seem to help. I then tried changing the power profile to set Max CPU at various levels less than the 100% default and settled at 95%..
The fan now runs constantly but at a very low speed and is almost inaudible. I can not tell any difference in performance but I do not have any CPU or graphics intensive apps with which to test. MS Office apps and web and DVD video seem fine.
Is this expected behavior from changing the power profile to set maxCPU less than 100%?
Any down side from having the fan always on?

I had upgraded my touchsmart to Windows 8 since it was a touch enabled notebook.
Upon completion of the upgrade, my notebook ran a little on the warm side and the fan was quite loud. I had discovered that the reason for this was that the switchable graphics system was broken by the upgrade. This resulted in both cards running simultaneously which the notebook was not designed to handle the heat generated by both cards.
I did manage to get my switchable graphics to work and the system became much cooler and quieter.
I'm not certain if this will work in your particular scenario, but this is worth trying.
Try the steps exactly as outlined in this thread. The steps do need to be followed in order as it typically fails when steps are omitted or done out of order.
The fan can fail early if it is constantly running, but let me know what happens with the steps provided.

How do i clean the air vents on my hp pavilion dv6 notebook pc?

Latelly, the fan on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC has been noiser than usual and it appears that my notebook becomes quite warm to the touch. The HP Support Assistant running on my notebook PC recommended that I can reduce the heat and fan noise by cleaning the air vents. How do I do this? Can I do this myself or do I have to have a professional do it?

Hi Rosie,
You can clean the vents on your notebook.
Buy a can of compressed air. Essentially, you need to gently blow out the vents with the compressed air to clear out the dirt and dust. You need a can with a small straw like attachment for the nozzle so you can point it directly toward the vents.
Do take a look at this document first so you know which way to point the air and how to avoid damaging the fan inside the notebook.

HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists.
Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message:
"Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

I understand the problem. HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.
