The fan is not working. what should i do ?

The fan in my laptop is not working and I get a message regarding that when I start the laptop. What should I do ?

It depends on if you are under warranty. If so, it just has to be sent in. If you are out of warranty it depends on if you feel comfortable taking a screwdriver to a laptop. However it gets done, by HP, a shop or you the fan has to be replaced. It would help to know the model fo the laptop so we can advise how hard it is going to be. The part is cheap, the labor probably not so much.

  • The weather widget not working - what should I do?

    I change the city in the weather widget, but for some reason when I go back to the "home" page..... the weather is totally different.  I live in Massachusetts and I know for a fact that we're not having 70 degree weather.

    I found out that there's not much you can do with the weather and clock app.  It's hard to explain.  They are just an icon.  It's kinda like an "icon shortcut."  You make a shortcut on your computer to access things you use on a daily basis. (i.e. documents, shared drives)     
    It's not like Windows 7 where you can have something called a gadget to see the time, weather and being able to change it to your specifications.  It's sooo stupid.  Why bother having an icon of a clock and/or weather if I can't see the time and/or weather temp??

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

    I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

  • HP Elitebook 8470p - from battery the fan is not working

    Hello Everybody elitebook Expert!
    My laptop config in short: i5-3320m 2.60GHz with integrated graphics Intel HD4000, 4GB Ram.
    I don't like the elitebook 8470p cooling system and i can't see the normal reason of the machanism.
    So, there is no problem when the laptop is on AC power, the fan is on and works well and this is ok.
    But, i have problem when the laptop is on Battery because when the laptop is in idle mode the fan is not working but stay.
    Only  starts then just when it attains the 55 degrees.  This is not good, moreover it is bad for me, i dont like it because it is warm.
    I want the ventilator to work so when the machine is on AC power everytime on Battery too.
    In the BIOS there is no option for that and i can't see why...
    Plase help me! I need a program what can turn on the fan when the laptop is on battery or a tweaker or something else i don't know what but i need something.
    Aida64 says: motherboard name is: HP 179B
                              BIOS type is: Compaq EFI
                              BIOS version: 68ICF Ver.F.32            Date: 2012/05/12
    (I know that there is a newer BIOS but i don't think so that there is an option in the new that can handle the fan on battery mode).
    (Sorry for my English please).

    Thanks for the question Akos,
    I understand that CPU FAN does not work on battery mode in windows mode however it works in BIOS mode.
    firstly, as you know BIOS has control over CPU fan and CPU thermal table - however OS has better thermal managements. once PC is up, BIOS information and thermal control is handles by OS. to trigger a change it has to be still routed through firmware only however instructions are based on the BIOS thermal table and windows power management.
    we know the thermal management of windows is better than BIOS and best to provide you best battery performance. so in BIOS CPU fan may be not mostly spinning all the time but in windows its more effective.
    one example for the same is, when you update BIOS on your PC or we-write a BIOS - CPU FAn will be running at full RPM during the process because windows does not control the CPU fan at that time due to update/change process.
    its completely normal that you see most of the time CPU FAN is off or spins for a very minimal time. if its always off that means there is something wrong, however if its seen off on battery in windows - its ok. i do not think there is anything wrong here.
    if you want to have the FAN run always, that means you need to run your PC at a poor/bad thermal table. which i do not think possible with windows 8 platform because its largely looks like a mobile focused(better battery run time) platform.
    you may try installing any of the older (prefer non-windows OS) to check. however its not recommended. because it may result in a damage to hardware too (if a non-supported OS used).
    Hope this helps... Good Luck !!!!!
