Qosmio G20: Fan is making a clunky sound when it turns around

Hey everybody,
Another problem, but not Vista related! Although that's still a problem!
My exhaust fan is making a clunky sound when it turns around. I hear it going round and round like a rachetty sound, and then at other times its fine.
Anyone had this?
Should I open her up and give it a clean?

Hi tay,
right now i do not have the time for this.
If you can wait some time, i will take some pictures and show you exactly which screws you must take off your Qosmio to disassemble it.
You must take care with this job, otherway you can damage the motherboard.
Advice: Do not adventure yourself on an unknown way, it is dangerous.
In meantime, you can check it out how "hot"(not hot as you know...)your Qosmio is.
Download the Everest ultimate 2006 edition V 3.50.761, look for it with Google search.
Run it and see the temperatures for CPU, Processor and motherboard on your Qosmio:
See:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmioeverest.jpg
Run the System stability test (find it under tools menu) for 10 minutes aprox.
Watch the temperatures at taskar and please report this to me. If it reachs more than 95C for the processor on stress mode, its time to clean the heatsink and all essential parts of your Qosmio. Attempt to the processor fan RPM, too, if they run fast and noisy, you really must perform a clean.
But it depends on the ambient environment, for a 27C summer day the processor temperature almost get the 90C. this is normal in stress mode. An the fans run without noise. Slow RPM mode.
All measured in Celsius degrees, for Farenheith please convert it.
See, I am here, on a typical summer day, 30C right now ,16:40min ,sunday afternoon
My Qosmio in stress mode is under 91C for the processor, 61C for the motherboard and the fans are quietly. No noise at all. This is perfectly normal for the g20

PS: thank you for the reward point, very kind of you.

What is my iphone making a sound (like a turn on sound) when I turn it on....never happened before!!! How do I turn off this sound?

Not sure whats going on today...why is my Iphone making a sound when I turn it on...like a beep noise...it never happened before...how can I turn it off???

Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Note the sentence commencing, 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page.

Try resetting your iPod while it's unplugged from your computer by holding Menu and Select at the same time for approx. 8 seconds. Then plug back in and see what happens. If the problem persits, reset your iPod WHILE it's plugged in.

Canon S120 making funny sounds when moving it around (in automatic mode)

Hi everyone,
I have a little question for those owning the Canon S120.
I just bought it and I noticed that my camera is making funny sounds when I move it around. Those sounds seem to occur more often when I'm in the automatic mode. If I don't move the camera, it doesn't make any sound, but as soon as I move it, it does a little "toc-toc" sound (hard to describe, it's like the camera is adjusting something automatically when it moves). It seems to come from inside the camera and not from outside. I have owned my Canon cameras before and this is the first time I notice that.
Has anyone else noticed that?
If so, is it "normal" or have I received a defective unit?
Thanks for your help!

Open the MBP. Place it on a towel so you can slide it around easily and not scratch it. Take a #00 Phillips driver and take the bottom cover off. 3 of the screws will be longer than the rest. Inspect the interior for anything that may be loose.
The other option is to take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them do it.
Ciao.

Sound when I turn it on!

My MacBook is making a sound when I first turn it on! Is it the CD ROM? Or is there something wrong with my computer?

It is the CD / DVD drive checking to see if there is a disk inserted.
It is normal all Apple Laptops with drives make this noise.

Mid 2011 iMac 21.5 fan is making a buzzing sound

I bought this iMac 8 months ago
It was fine until recently
But on the other day I tried to install windows 7 using boot comp
And from then on it started making a loud buzzing like sound
It's very loud and irritating
I even tried resetting smc but it still isn't stopping !!

Hi, have you blown the dust out lately? Look at the small round intake grill on the bottom back of the iMac behind the stand.
Is it coming from the speakers, or from a fan you feel?

My imac fan is making a purring sound

My imac is making a loud "purring" sound but it is inconsistent. Is there a way to reset the fans ?

If it is real quiet and I put an ear close to my (get this) Early 2006 Intel iMac I can hear the CPU fan purring at the default speed just like you describe. Adding that it has done this for (lets see) 6 years and 10 months and has never gotten any worse. The bottom grill work and HD intake behind the stand get cleaned every few months and it has been opened several times over the years for a thorough cleaning. I have used SMCFanControl on it almost from the time it was new and can barely hear the CPU fan if I kick it up from the default speed of 1100 RPM to somewhere between 1250 and 1300 RPM. Additionally I feel that over the years, periodic cleaning and running both the CPU and HD fans up a few hundred RPM, has made her last longer and I'm certain that the grandkids will get a few more good years out of the old girl.

Fan was making a whirring sound and now it sounds like the fan isn't turning at all? Please help!

I've had this whirring noise on the fan for a couple of weeks, I've vacumed it as best I can without opening my imac up but the noise didnt stop (like a whirring clicking noise with the fan, like it was stuck on something). I've booked it in to be looked at in the Apple store on Monday (soonest appointment avaliable), but I've just switched it on and the fan clicked a couple of times and then went quiet? Am I safe to use my mac? WIll it overheat? I'm scared to use it because the fan doesnt sound like its running at all now ? I've got 5 photo sessions and a wedding to edit and I may cry! Any help or suggestions would be AMAZING! Thanks in advance!
Ps these are my mac details
iMac
21.5-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Pps I'm a bit rubbish with tecnical things so sorry if this is something obvious!

Do 2-3 SMC resets and see if this takes care of the problem. If it does not then book an appointment with your local Apple Store to have it looked at by a Genius.
Instructions for the SMC reset are in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603

I recently downloaded istatpro for my macbook pro because my fans seemed to be making a weird sound when they ran.

Now, the fans aren't running at all but istat pro says that they are running at around 2000 rpm. Are the fans actually running and I just cant hear it? Or is there something wrong with istatpro? The temperatures are all around 40 degrees.

Temperature is normal and the fan speed is normal (2000 rpm are the default speed for the MacBook Pro).
Note that with higher fan speeds the fan makes louder. How does the sound look like? If your Mac is in warranty, note that any problem you have will be repaired at an Apple Store or reseller for free, always that it wasn't an accidental damage

Is anyone elses iPod making a echoing sound when you plug in headphones or an external device?

Please help me I notice when I plug in an external device such as headphones or a car accessory my iPod makes this scratchy echoing sound and you can just hear back up music

Same thing is happening to mine and it seems NO ONE has the answer about how to fix it.

Why can I not change the setting for my iPhone 4s to stop making a woosh sound when I send txts?

They should have an option under settings to turn this off, but they do not. It is not right to have to turn my iPhone on silent just to get away from it.

This seems to have been asked a lot around the net, however, there doesn't seem to be an adequate answer to it.
I am running:
Operating system is Windows 7Motherboard is Q67H2-AM v1.1
Bios is ACER ver. 2.10.1207
GPU is GTX 770
PSU is 700w
The Graphics card is plugged in to the 16x slot, the fans spin, but no display and no device is recognized in device manager.
I have tried a few solutions including uninstalling my onboard graphics driver from the device manager and going to upgrade my 600w power supply to a 700w one.
I think the issue is that I need to change the BIOS to PEG or PCI Express. However, in the Bios the settings for both "Primary Video" and "Onboard Graphics" are grayed out, meaning that I can't change them.

My iphone3g wont turn on,it only shows apple logo and making a connection sound when i charge it.

How to trouble shoot iphone 3g?

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- Next try DFU mode

- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
