Right fan not working and temperature rising

Hi guys (and ladies...)!
I've installed SMC Fan Control on my MBP because it was running hot. Last summer (no, no, I didn't give you my heart...), I sent my MBP in for a logic board replacement, because one day the screen stayed obstinately dark, though I could hear the hard drive spinning... and the fans too!
Recently, I noticed that the right fan was making a real racket, like a ball bearing going sour. I'm planning on bringing my MBP back in for repair (I've got a three-year warranty plan from the French retailer where I bought my machine), but I'd like to know if someone has already experienced a total and sudden fan breakdown such as this.
In System Preferences under PrefPanes, I can access my Fan Control preferences, and it shows one fan (the left one) running at almost 5000 rpm, and the other (guess what? yeah, the right one!) at 0, repeat, zero.
Something's wrong, right?

Just what I thought... OK, thanks, I'll bring it back in. I just hope they won't keep as long as they did last year (5 weeks to change a lousy logic board, can you believe it?)...
Thanks, mate!

  • HP Slimline s3707c 2 out of 3 fans not working - and overheatin​g

    I have an s3707c, two out of the three fans are not working. It's around two years old and I suspect this has been an issue for at least 6 months. 
    I also did experience the same issue with my previous Slimline, and traded it in for this one. Right now the temps aren't THAT bad, but they do reach around 100 celcius sometimes.
    Here's the temperatures and fan speeds from the terminal (running sensors via terminal - I use Linux):

    Core1 Temp:  +73.0°C                                  
    Core1 Temp:  +70.0°C    
    Just like to note - I had this issue on my previous Slimline using Vista - couldn't do a thing without the comp hanging. 

    Likely all of these issues would be fixed with the chipset driver.
    Did you look at the solutions listed in that other forum post I linked to above?

  • Bought iphone 5C on December. No additional warranty purchased. The phone keeps not working and the top and bottom right corners look melted. Can I send it in amd get a new one on manufacturer warranty? Or what are my options? Thanks

    I Purchased iphone 5C on December 2014. However now it's very difficult to have it working. The screen is constantly not working and the right side bottom&top does looks like its melted? the cover I mean , which maked the phone slide out of its cover. I did not purchase anny additional warranty or insurance so I don't know what to do with it? Can i send it in and they can send me a new one under the manufacturer warranty or what do i do with it?
    I Have alwa had an iphone but this 5c is making me never have one again. Thanks in advance

    Each iPhone comes with a one-year warranty. You said it looks melted? That's going to be difficult to prove that you did not damage it, and it happened on its own. That is the only way it would be covered.

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store  to have it checked.

  • I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail".

    I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options

    Which os are you using?
    Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.

  • My HP ENVY dv4 windows 8 camera is not working and it cannot be found on the device manager.

    I am using a HP Envy dv4 on Windows 8 and trying to use the 'Cyberlink Youcam ' Webcam which is not working. When I went to find it in the device manager, it was not present. I have restarted my computer already.

    Thanks

    Hi there  @Eliyana 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that your Webcam is not working and does not appear within device manager. I am happy to assist.
    This document is pretty much a catchall of webcam related issues. There is a section specifically for the device not  appearing in device manager. Check it out, unfortunately if it does not resolve with that then it is likely either a loose connection or fault in the device.

    Hopefully that will work for you. If it does require service, then you can try contacting phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

    Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

    I have the same issue.  My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound.  not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
    Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE. 
    Any ideas how to fix it?

    i have inserted a disc in my remote disc and it is not working and even i am trying to eject the disc but it is not working ? what to do ?

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

  • Sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all

    sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all.. Someone HELP me

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
