Pavillon DV6 Fan problem

I have a pavillon DV6. a couple of minutes after that i unplug the charger, the Fan gets crazy and the system shuts down displaying an overheating alert on reboot.
- When plugged in, everything is normal and fan is so quit
- When unplugged, speedfan 4.5 is reporting less than 60 degrees celcius on all cores. HDD temp is also fine. But the battery gets a little bit hot. no battery temp sensor to check it.
- Vents are clean and thermal paste is properly applied
- Power mode : Normal
need your advice
thank you

Hello @Sam0789,
Welcome to the hp support forum and thank you for posting.  It sounds like from what your post states,  that the system runs fine with the battery out but as soon as the battery is in the unit it goes unstable and heats up when connected to the charging system.
Here are some things you may try in the following links.
Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 7)
HP Notebook PCs - Checking the Status of the Battery
Now if the battery is getting hot to the touch when plugged in I would not be using it until you can have it tested.
There could be a problem with the charging system in the battery that controls the voltage.
There is normally no reason for the system to heat up while on battery like that. What I would do is call phone support and have them check it out. Another option is to try another battery to see if the same problem happens.
If that is the case the notebooks voltage control is out of spec and needs replacing. If a different battery causes no problem then we know it is the battery.

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.

UpDrvLtr on Hp pavillon dv6... what to do?

Hello,
I recently tried to do a factory restore on my HP Pavillon DV6 (proc Intel P6100). In this way, I used the recovery manager with my recovery disks. Almost at the end of the install, I get a DOS window that opens, titled x:\windows\systwm32\cmd.exe, with the following text:
"Please wait...
upDrvLtr : C:
ERROR: An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry.
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
ERROR: The parameter is incorrect.

After that, I can't do anything and my computer stays out of order. I even tried to install an ubuntu, but it didn't work (I/O error too).
Do you think there is still a way to recover it or no?
Thanks in advance.

Mid 2009 macbook pro battery is dead and fan is constantly ramped up (not due to heat). Would installing a new battery fix the fan problem?

Battery icon has an "x" over it and I need to have my laptop plugged in to be on. I've ordered a new battery to install, but I was wondering if it's possible that something else might be causing the fan to be on over drive constantly. I've tried resenting the SMC and the PRAM, but nothing has stopped the fans from running at higher than normal speeds.

If you've updated to Mavericks, you'll either need to use the original install DVD containing the AHT, or download the right one from Apple's servers, then replace the hidden /System/Library/CoreServices.diagnostics folder.
I think that replacing the battery is likely to stop the fan problem anyway.

Satelite l655 - s5094 - werid cooling fan problem

Heatsinks don't need to be changed. They need to be cleaned, which you've done.
It's not clear from your post, if your fan problems persisted after you cleaned it. If they have, sounds like the fan is failing to me.
Try one these. Got the part number from here. From your model's parts list here.
Please let us know how it works out. Good luck.

Today, I powered my laptop and see the error BIOS 902, cooling fan problem. Then the laptop shutdown. However when I tried to power the laptop at third time, It can start up normally and I can use my laptop for more than 8 hours

What should I do? Should I bring my laptop to warranty center?

IMac 27" (mid 2010): Will replacing the HD cause fan problems?

Hi,
I have an iMac 27" (mid 2010). My HD is broken, and I'd like to replace it. I've already installed an SSD, so replacing the HD shouldn't be much of a problem.
However I've read that replacing the HD causes the fan to spin up all the time. Some sites say this started one generation later, but some remain unspecific or say that this problem affects all iMacs. Before I replace my HD, I'd like to know what to expect.
So my question is: in my 2010 iMac, can I replace the HD without causing fan problems (provided I put the temp plug in the right place )?
Best regards,
F

OWC is mistaken. I don't know why they keep saying that. (I'm not even certain the OWC blog linked above related to using the same make drive on the late 2009s was ever correct. I had a long phone conversation with an upper level WD tech some time ago who said that the originals were special ordered by Apple.) Those drives have Apple proprietary firmware which puts the temp sensor output to the jumper block, and you cannot just replace with a drive of the same manufacturer. A non-Apple WD drive will not have that connection at the jumper block.
Two possibilities: Get an external stick-on temp sensor that will work with your model or use SSD Fan Control.
http://exirion.net/ssdfanctrl/
If I'm mistaken and you do get it to work directly with a replacement WD drive I will be pleasantly surprised, since I have a Late 2009 which will need a new drive sooner or later. Please post back with your results.

Return for Fan Problem (aka mooing)?

Has anyone actually returned their Macbook for the fans coming on and off (or "mooing")? If so, did you get a moo-free MB?
The mooing isn't too bad - and I have hope that software could fix it; but if there are Macbooks that don't moo, man, I would like one. However, no point in going thru the process if there is no possibility of getting a moo-free MB.
Thanks.

There definitely ARE some that do not moo. Or if they do, they do it much softer. Last night I had a white one that, every 10 seconds, would moo. It was horrible. Even with my TV on, I could still hear that fan revv up and then revv right back down, then 10 seconds later the process would repeat itself. I certainly couldn't live with that. I'm a student and would surely be kicked out of class with a laptop that sounded like a zoo, lol.
So anyway, I returned it today (demanding an exchange). What got me is when I explained the moo'ing to the girl, she sounded surprised and that she'd never heard of the problem before. THEN she takes it in back for about 5 or so minutes and comes back out and persists my MacBook didn't have a fan problem. I told her the machine had to be running for about 15-20 mins before it would kick in. Well she's gets my exchange and then continues to tell me "they're supposed to do that." She said hers at home did it. She also even commented about the posts on these forums about it at that point, too. I was thinking, okay then why didn't you tell me that when I explained the problem? I have a feeling the manager told her to tell me that.
Well, I got my black one home today and have been using it for about an hour before work (while it charged), and now for almost 2 hours (running down the battery). I've only been using it lightly and my temp hasn't gotten higher than 60C even on AC power. Perhaps this is why it doesn't moo? My white last night was close to 70C (on light use) and the moo wouldn't quit.
Unfortunately, this one does whine (somewhat loud on AC power, but very very soft on battery). However, that is a non-issue because turning on bluetooth shuts it up right away, or using QuietMBP works also. Whine I can deal with, but there is no work around for the moo.
So, my advice, is yes, return these moo'ing MacBooks. Like others have said, the more returns they get back for this fan issue, the faster they will (should lol) correct it. There's no need in my eyes to sell a laptop that behaves such as some of these do. I do not pay well over a thousand dollars to have to sit in a zoo-like atmosphere. And that's exactly what I told the sales woman. A lot of times I sit in quiet and this fan noise is too loud to ignore. However, I really do believe this is tied to a heat issue, because it is clear some of these run much cooler on light use than others do. That must be why I haven't heard the fan on this one - my temp is much lower than the one I had that moo'ed.

[Other 865 Series] mainboard fan problem

thanks, I'll try it

Have a look to this thread and give it a try.
Take care with temps. After unplugging the sys fan, check your temps immediately and for a long time. Make some tests to ensure this fan is not needed in your Mega.
Another solution should be adding a resistor (from 20 to 80 Ohms) to low the revs.

Notebook fan problem

Hi,
I've had my laptop for 2 years now, my laptop: Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC, has a fan problem. My fan stopped working when I turn on my laptop. After using my laptop for a while (when it starts to turn overheat), my fan kicks in and only works for exactly one hour, after the hour, my fan turns off. While the fan is on, it cools down my laptop. My fan won't working again until a couple hours later or when I restart my laptop and wait for it to overheat again.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

If you just bought it and it's only a few months old then it should be covered for a replacement. You shouldn't be forced to buy a new one, HP should give you one to make it right.
I hear you, if you are busy you don't have time but don't let them swindle you. At least give the computer to someone who does have time and tell them to do a web chat the warranty people and explain that it runs at 98 C (or over 200 F) and that it needs to be replaced and could have burned you. Do this before the warranty period is gone. I think new computers come with a year warranty.
I say webchat because it is easier to keep a record of who you have spoken with and what they say in case they try to weasel out of replacing it. If they give you any trouble about it, post the log or send it to me in a message and I will tell you how to deal with them.
For several months I had to send emails back and forth and go through three years of receipts to get them to honor a warranty and I saved the logs of our chats and I know every sneaky trick they use to try and deny people service.

T5220 Fan problem

Hi,
sorry if this is the wrong forum.
We have a T5220 in the office, yesterday this message appeared
"Jan 30 12:34:06 T5220 SC Alert: [ID 118048 daemon.alert] IPMI | critical: ID = fc14 : 01/30/2009 : 12:33:06 : Fan : /FB0/FM0/F0/TACH : Lower Non-recoverable going low : reading 1600 < threshold 2400 RPM"
Could anyone shed a bit more light on this? It's obviously a fan problem but will it need to be replaced?
Thanks,
Paul

I would have the fan replaced. The fact that it is spinning way under speed is an issue as these very compact boxes require forced airflow.

[pavillon dv6 1200sl] Upgrade with SSD 256GB

Hi all,
i have this notebook pavillon dv6 1200sl [ bit.ly/1b4DvNz ] from many year, now is the time to make an upgrade!
I'd like to change the HDD with a new SSD drive.. what kind of disc can I buy?
Any suggestion will be really apprecieted

I would not recommend an SSD you could not use. And the driver Manual shows step by step how to install a new hard drive. If the computer is running fine then, in Windows, use the HP Recovery Manager to burn restore DVDs and use them to reinstall software on the SSD when you get it. Go ahead and make the recovery DVD(s) and order the SSD and let us know when you are ready to proceed. If you have a storage disk I can also suggest making a Windows Easy Transfer Archive in order to transfer files and settings after you get Windows reinstalled on the SSD. It is also possible to do an exact disk clone to make the SSD work just like the existing drive, but that will take extra software and hardware.

Macbook fan problem?!

Hi. Just today I have had several random shutdowns. Had the Macbook for 10months now and it's been brilliant so I was a tad surprised when it started playing me up!
After a few looks on google it seems lots of people experience this problem with different reasons for it. I first thought it was the system fan as it did seem very hot but the fan hadn't kicked in. I tested the fan but I got a reading of 0rpm. SO I then ran the Hardware test and got the following error message:
4MOT/1/40000002 :Exhaust
So, I'm deffo thinking it's a fan problem and the CPU is shutting down cos of the heat. Now, I did not buy the extended warranty but I have checked with my serial number and have until Feb 2008 on the standard 12month warranty - my next step is to contact Apple to see what they will do. Does anyone know whether I am assuming correctly and if they know what Apple may do for me?!?!
Thanks

Would it deffo be the logic board then?
deffo?
I have no idea if it is the logic board or not. I know that Macbooks do not have many serviceable parts. To get to that fan may be a major undertaking. Typically, they want to get the unit repaired and back to the customer as soon as possible. They will swap out what they can do the fastest and diagnose and fix the actual broken part on their own time (or just toss it in the trash). But, of couse, I am just guessing.
How long would it take to replace this?!?
I have no idea.
Can't believe it - I love this notebook!!!
It is not as if you have many options. It will be a paperweight soon. They are machines and all machines break eventually. Either you have the misfortune to have one that isn't perfect or the good luck to have it break while the warranty is valid.

Hi
My computer has a fan problem, sometimes fan speed up to maximum speed and the computer lockup. So I have to restart the computer. I have installed firmware updates but problem remains.
Someone have had this problem? Any solution?
Regards

Hi,
This issue had nothing to do with heat at all in my case. What you need to do is goto device manager, and then go under Universal Serial Bus controllers. From there you want to goto the properties of each Hub and Root Hub and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the Power Management tab. Do this for all the hubs and root hubs.
I am not sure what causes this issue, but this has been a fix for us.
I made an account just to let you know! This issue took me a good week or two to narrow down.
