Right fan never runs (but works)???

Hey mac gurus.
SO I have a used (new to me ) PB alum 15" hi-res and the right fan never turns on. I ran the apple hardware test from the original cd/dvd (thanks for that everyone, didn't know it existed until I searched here!) and when the logic board test is run, I can hear and feel the fan spin up.
So I know that power goes to it, but according to iStat and my ear (can hear and feel when the fan is at speed) The Left fan works fine, and I can hear/feel that too.
is it a heat sensor issue?!?
Thanks!

Try installing G4FanControl:
http://www.andreafabrizi.it/?g4fancontrol
This utility allows you to control the temperature thresholds at which the fans kick in, so you could experiment by drastically lowering the threshold to force it into action.
The version I've got was free and works well, but the current version costs 15USD. Not sure if there is a free trial period.

  • Mac mini appears to be shutting down due to overheating fan is running, but not strongly

    late 2012 mac mini shuts down after running several minutes in a streaming task environment.  Fan is running, but not very forceful.  wondering if the fan itself has a temperature sensor that causes the fan to engage in higher rpms or if that sensor/command comes from somewhere else in the computer

    Install a temperature/fan speed app.. I use the free Macs Fan Control app downloaded from the internet. Yes, there are temperature sensors that contorl fan speed

  • Grant the access rights to manager run the work flow history report without edit /delete rights

    I found that only Team Member / Workspace creator / Administrator can run

    which need ask the supervisor for 1st approval and manager for 2nd approval.
    But those managers want to see who prepare the P.O. and supervisor done the

  • Fans never run?

    Hi all,
    My month old 1.83 MBP runs hot (150-160 F) for hours and hours, and I never hear any fans kick in, and no air ever blows out of the machine at all. Is this OK? I'm assuming that the fans should actually force some air out of the machine. My old 1.33 PB used to run the fan when hot and you can feel hot air coming out the back.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice. I put my ear against the left and right grille, and I can hear a soft whirring noise on the left, which sounds more like a hard drive than a fan. I guess if the fans are running, they're nothing like on my 2-yo PowerBook, which blew some air out the back and was much, much cooler to the touch.
    Also, I just ran a hardware test when it was running around 170 F, and it came back with an error! "4NS/1/40000000 TmOP". I'll have to do some research on the boards for this one.
    Thanks again!

  • How do you resolve problem if screen is black, no backlight, fan is running, but MacBook Pro won't start up or respond to anything?

    How do you resolve the problem on a MacBook Pro of a blanks screen, no backlight, fan is running, nothing will eject, and mac won't respond to resets?

    My gut response would be to Boot from that install disc and do an archive install ...
    To get the DVD out power it up while holding down the trackpad button

  • Macbook air's fan is running, but screen is black.

    I spilled milk on the top right corner of my macbook air (beside the power button). I immediately wiped it off but I think some may have leaked inside. Now, the screen is fully black, but the fan is still running. Sometimes when I press random buttons, a "ding" sound pops up. I also tried plugging in the power source but there is no green light. I have a lot of useful information stored inside. Can anyone help please?!!

  • Scsm 2012 r2 (ur 3) with exchange connector 3 - state never run but reveices mail in opm log?!

    Hello everybody,
    we have installed scsm 2012 r2 (UR 3) with exchange connector 3. We have connected the connector by the workflow Account (domain user "servicedesk" is in local admin group of the sm server and in the sm Administrators group) and have access
    to the mailbox on exchange (2010; autodiscovery is working correct). We receive all mails in the servicedesk mailbox on restarting the sm services and see the mails in the opm logs. But no incidents are created and the connector stays in "never
    tun" state and does not receive mails any More after the first start. What do we have missed to check? Beste regards Thomas

    i have added the registry keys.

  • Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

    My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

    Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
    Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

  • Hi, a week ago the option of update came on the screen of my macbook pro, it then offered to restart and will not boot up. The fan is running but no screen. Please help as I have tried everything.

    Hi, a week ago my macbook pro wanted to do an update, so I clicked yes, it went on to do the normal and then offered to restart, since then I have not be able to restart. I have tried almost everything. When I turn on the power button, all you can hear are the fans and nothing else. Its not very old, does anyone know what I can do as I dont seem to be able to get any support from apple.

    By everything, I am assuming you have tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379). If you haven't tried this yet, please do!
    See the following support document as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367.
    The update you're talking about was the firmware update. Hopefully resetting the PRAM gets you up and running. Try resetting it 3 times in a row (hold the keys down until you hear 3 startup chimes).

  • IBook won't turn on, but fan is running

    Okay, I have an iBook w/a recalled battery, which I have already requested. I am waiting for that to come in. Upon the suggestion of the apple website, I have removed my bad battery and am running my laptop solely from the a/c adapter. However, now my comp. won't turn on. The fan is running, but nothing else is happening. Also, I have followed the advice of apple's tech support link, but that has not done any good. Per their advise, I put in the Software Install and Restore disc, and now I can't get it to eject. I need help asap, if anyone has any anwers. Thanks

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From the Apple Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting slot load drives:
    The drive doesn't eject discs
    If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to be struggling, insert and eject a disc several times.
    If the drive does not eject discs, press the F12 key. Holding down the trackpad button during startup should also eject a disc.
    Reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) and/or the Power Manager (PMU). PMU reset instructions for iBook G4/PowerBook G4.
    If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple to arrange for service.
    I hope something there helps.

  • Left and right fans running at different very different speeds on a 15" i5 Macbook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro i5 and it seems to be heating up a bit more than the first couple of months I had it.  I also have istat which shows my left fan at around ~250 rpm's.  The right fan is running at around ~2500 to 3500 rpm's.  Is this normal or is this something I should take in to a genius bar to take a look at?
    The temps of the CPU run from about 50 to 80.  Any help or gudance is appreciated.

    250 seems to me to indicate an issue - not sure if I have seen ANY computer fan purposely running at that speed - could be the fan or the sensor that monitors the fan is faulty. If high temps are being seen then faulty fan could lead to more serious issues.

  • MacFreePops causes fans to run

    While at school I've really gotten used to using Entourage to check my Hotmail accounts. Now that I have my own computer though, I don't plan on having Microsoft Office (I have Office for Windows already, and iWork). I've been using Thunderbird lately, but just noticed MacFreePops is running at a CPU % of over 190, causing my fans to run almost constantly. After I quit MacFreePops my fans stopped.
    I really would like to continue using Thunderbird for email, but is there another client like MacFreePops that won't cause my fans to run?

    Working fine for now
