Problem with the Fan ( DV6 )

the fan makes annoying sound , i cannot do anything because that sound . and also i think the laptop getting warmer !!
what should i do ?

Just take it in or call Apple. One of my fans started acting up. Apple replaced both of them. It's real silent again. Apple may have got some bad fans from their suppliers.

Also, if you are worried about warranty after a year, you can still buy AppleCare before your unit is a year old. You can find AppleCare plans on eBay for about 1/2 off retail.

Problem with HP pavillion dv7 giving message (a problem with the internal fan enter = shutdown

HP Pavillion DV7 notebook PC
Windows 7 64
intel I5
6 gig memory
service pack 1
I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause
thanks

I have a problem with the indicator for power on the side of my HP DV6-1341el.

I have a problem with the indicator for power on the side of my HP DV6-1341el. Insert the adapter's power jack on the notebook in front of the LED battery charging works, windows detects that the battery is charged, but if I use the diagnostic programs, they tell me they found that the computer is running on battery power and not AC mode.
Where is the problem?
I have also made the maneuver for the recognition by the operating system of the battery and does not seem to be there the problem.
If I use the laptop without battery in AC mode happens that led to the side of the notebook blinks twice, three times and then goes off when I put the power jack.

Go into the Device Manager. Expand the battery device, select the ACPI-Compliant Battery Control Method device, right-click it and select uninstall. After you have done that, right-click any device in the Device Manager and select scan for hardware changes. Your operating system will reinstall the ACPI-Compliant Battery Control Method device.
Post your results whether they are negative or positive to keep us posted.

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific

When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas

'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

Hi all,
Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
Thanks

In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never work properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair.

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar. The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem. I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond. Please tell me something. The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S 16GB. Black.

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

Problems with G5 fans coming on...

I have a very early Power Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX 10.4.11 which has started having strange problems... For apparantly no reason all the fans come on and stay on - this can sometimes be resolved with a restart, sometimes not, in which case I need to shut the machine down - after which it will sometimes not reboot the first time (gets as far a blue screen then hangs) - I then need to unplug it from the mains for 10 mins or so, afer which it will start up normally.
Looking into the problem I have discovered this message in the system log every time it happens:
Jan 10 22:01:19 teknomage kernel[0]: AppleMaxim6690::readI2C error (0xE00002C2) I2CAddr = 0x98, subAddr = 0x01
Jan 10 22:01:19 teknomage kernel[0]: AppleMaxim6690::getExternalTemp read temp failed!
I have also started running a temperature & hardware monitor to try and get to the bottom of this and have discovered that all my temperatures show a flatline when the fault is about to occur. If I then restart the machine, all fans will be running. If the machine starts up with all fans running. On one occasion, CPU A showed a flatline temperature of -6.1 degrees for several hours (with the machine working just fine!) and the machine restarted into all fans running mode after this.
I have tried both replacing the battery and resetting the PMU - which appeared to fix the fault for a few days, it then recurred.
The machine also will not sleep properly - in that it won't always wake from sleep and needs a power off and reboot - which sometimes occurs with all fans running.
Apart from that the machine works fine - all my software works etc even when all fans are running.
Any ideas as to the cause? I've not changed the hardware (except to replace the battrery when the fault first started) or software for over a year. Is it case of a failing logic board or could it be something else? Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Is there any problem in running the machine when the temperature monitor is showing flatline temperatures for all sensors - or is there a lower level system that will protect the machine should temperatures get too high (maybe by switching to all fans running?)

An update to my G5 fans problem - the problem got worse, with trouble booting the machine at all. It would sometimes take up to half a dozen attempts to get a chime and then a boot :-( Sometimes all the fans would come on after a few minutes, sometimes not at all day. Sleep mode stopped working completely. As the problem was getting worse and worse, I gave in a bought another, refurbished machine identical to mine, swapped over my disks, extra memory & SCSI card and everything on tha machine works just fine :-)
I may try to further diagnose the problem with the old machine later on.

Is it a problem if the fans are in "airplane mode" for a long time?

OK, have another quick question about my G5 Quad:
Occasionally (like 2 or 3 times a year), my Quad fans will go into "airplane mode" - I don't know if it's from a failed boot or what (though a hard restart clears the problem), but my question is regarding if it is a problem if it stays in "airplane mode" for a long time. I can't find anyting on the www about this (though LOTS of complaints on the "airplane" problem). I wouldn't "think" that it would be a problem as the fans spinning up are supposed to protect the computer, but I wonder if my assumption is correct.
The reason I ask is because the Quad sits in the basement, and I can't hear it unless I walk down there (which is one reason it's in the basement - heat being the other...). If the computer freezes or fails to reboot, I may not notice it right away (which has happened recently). It could sit with the fans running at max for several hours until I notice it. I hope this isn't a problem.
Thanks again
Richard

Biggest problem is power consumption.
The default action for the fans is high, which is meant to protect the components in the case of freezes, crashes, boot errors, etc.
I hope this isn't a problem.
Only if it becomes a common occurrence.
Then, you need to find the root problem.
Watch the LCS on the Quad. Though possibly less problematic than earlier models with LCS, it does use, nonetheless, a LCS.

New logic board, still boot problems with Turbo Fans

I bought a 2Ghz dual G5 from a guy on craigslist and he told me that the Geniuses at the Apple Store said it had a bad logic board. So I bought a brand new logic board from DVwarehouse.com, and installed it along with a new set of matched RAM from Crucial, a new HD, new PRAM battery, new video card and a new superdrive. The only thing original are the processors and power supply (and fans, of course).
When I start it up, after the chime it quickly goes into "turbo-fan mode", which I have read that means the Op Sys didn't load correctly. Many restarts later, I was able to reset the nvram in the Open Firmware, but that didn't seem to help at all. I also pressed the SMU button (according to Apple's directions), but that didn't help much either.
I've had a few successful boots, but always with the fans going full blast. I though that once I got Leopard loaded onto the HD, then it would calm down with a software update. But before I ever get that far, the G5 hangs. Sometimes the G5 will boot and access the HD but hangs soon after. Sometimes I can get it to boot off the Leopard DVD. But most of the time it just boots and sits there slowly spinning up the fans into turbo mode.
The few times it has booted to access the HD or DVD, the fans go turbo right away. Other times it will boot with a chime, but then it won't access the HD or DVD and I get noting on the display.
I should say that this behavior is almost identical to how it was acting before I replaced the logic board. But how can that be? It should be a new computer, unless the problem is in the CPUs. Is that very likely? How would I find out if the CPUs are bad?
I've been reading alot about the problems I'm having with this G5 and what I've been having seems to be very common. But I've run out of fixes. Is there anything I can do to fix this machine or is it just money down the drain?

my iMac 20" G5 experience since December 2004, even though I love this machine,it has gone through 3 power supply (661-3350) replacements and 3 logic board replacement since late 2004. Pretty crazy for a single machine but I still love it. The last logic board replacement did NOT fix my boot up problem, as I expected, and the genius finally agreed to replace the power supply and that fixed it. SO: My recommendation to you is "replaced the power supply" here is one place you can get one: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Power-supply-180W-for-iMac-G5-20--100v-661-3350---614 -0353-----NEW-p-25613.html

My new macbook air 10.7.3 is running hot with the fan blowing just by using the internet. Is there something wrong with the computer?

My new macbook air is 10.7.3 s running hot, with the fan blowing after about one hour on the internet. It will also run very hot with the fan blowing when it is closed and in sleep mode, is this normal? My macbook pro did not do this.

May 19, 2012
My Macbook Pro 15" Early 2008 model had been running hot for a long time.
Checked Activity Monitor. (Applications/Utilities)
AdobeResourceSynchronizer was taking 83% of CPU usage.
Did a google search and found information regarding AdobeResourceSynchronizer causing high CPU usage and heat.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/822790
Problem seems to be Adobe Resource Synchronizer.app
To disable go to: System Preferences > Accounts
Click the Padlock icon, enter password if needed, click Login Items,
uncheck AdobeResourceSynchronizer
I don't know how this got install on this computer.
I suspect Adobe Reader. AdobeResourceSynchronizer.app is within the Adobe Reader application package.
Control Click (or right click) the Adobe Reader app, click Show Package Contents
Location: Applications/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Support/AdobeResourceSynchronizer.app
Some other Adobe applications may also cause this to run.
After disabling this in System Preferences > Accounts, temperature seems to be acceptable.
Also start Adobe Reader X, go to Preferences, Tracker and in the "Automatically Check for New Comments and Form Data", slide the top slider all the way to the right so is says Never.
After having done all this and restarted the computer, check Activity Monitor again and see if
AdobeResourceSynchronizer is still running. If it is you can click on it so it is highlighted and click the Quit button in the upper left.
This solved my excess heat problem.

Problem with the connection to the hard drive.

G5 Single core 1.8GHz stop working. I was told that there is a problem with the connection to the hard drive.
It boots but freezes after a few minutes and fans go full blast.....
Is this a logicboard problem, or something that can be fixed with a little work?

Hi j hallow-
Whose diagnosis declared a bad connection?
Have you opened it up and looked inside? It may need to be cleaned out.
You could install a second know good SATA drive and see what happens: Hard Drive Replacement Instructions

T420s case resonates with the fan

My T420s is three weeks old, and has a rather annoying mechanical resonance in concert with the fan rotation speed. With fan running in normal-high rpm, under an average desktop load, the resonance can be felt on the keyboard, case, etc. And of course it can be heard too, having a characteristic purring sound. Does anyone else have this same problem? I have two memory modules in the computer, could this have anything to do with it?
Regards,
Jormaporo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I also had a similar problem over two weeks ago. The fan devloped a noise similar to DVD drive spinning up as the speed increased. There was also vibration on the bottom of the case where the fan was located.
I called Lenovo support and after put the phone near the fan, the support tech agreed there was a problem and offered to send someone to replace either the fan or the foam the next day. However, I choose to delay the repair for a week as I was going on a trip. The noise did die down to almost normal level after few days and the vibration is gone, so I end up cancelling the repair.
Just give them a call, I’m sure they will help you out.
P.S. Unless the memory sticks are loss (unlikely if the laptop is working), than I don’t think that is the source.

Nothing to do buddy... you need an help from notebook technician

Satellite P500-12D - A problem with the cooling system has been detected

hi there everyone,
I have bought a Satellite P500-12D which was a retail return. When I start it up it runs a couple of mins and then this comes up on the screen:
Warning: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. please turn off the computer immediately and return it for service.
In the toshiba health monitor the cpu is under 50% temp and if it goes much above that the cooling fan comes on and lowers it back down and the fan stops again, I have noticed that only the r/h fan runs to cool the cpu, should both them come on together? Could it be a software problem?
Tthe unit is new without even the plastic off the screen surround or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be very appreciated, gary

The fact that the pc is a retail return would indicate that there was a fault at day one and the customer returned it. At some point the retailer turned it on and since it appeared to work re-sold it.
This is the cooling/fan report from a P500 produced by pc wizard 2010 - free from cpuid.com. Perhaps a comparison against the faulty laptop will point to the problem
