Guest quasicartes Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 My labtop's fan is dead... Dunno, about 2 months ago, it's has stop functioning.I suspect this may be due to some settings being messed up.Been toying with the control panel settings for weeks and still couldn't fix it. Have checked the all the manuals that come with the laptop, doesn't seem like there's something about the fan.Anyone knows how to get it working again? Quote
[solo] Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 It's unlikely it's to do with settings on your PC. You probably have to buy a replacement fan. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 tell me about it...i had to get my fan replaced twice...if it stops working again and they cant fix the problem its causing they give me a new laptop Quote
Guest quasicartes Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 There is this big fat ugly fan where you can put your laptop on. It's supposed to be so good at cooling things down that you can have your laptop switched on for like 8 hours?Have anyone tried that yet?But, due to its immense size, it's not very portable. <_< Quote
avadakedavra Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Check the website of the manufacturer? They sometimes have FAQs ( if they're any good anyway, they do ). Also, email their support team and ask them what's up. That's the only way you'll find out for sure what's wrong and what needs to be replaced. If you have a warranty, then they'll probably ship the parts to you for free. ( depending upon the company once again ). Quote

The fans of my computer almost never starts, execpt when I do intensive utilisation like playing game or compressing vids. My laptop is running 24 hours a day and almost 7 days a week, I have no problem.I point out the fact that I have a Mac. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 well my fan went out on me quite a few times but the fan was bad they finally replaced it so its fine now....my laptop takes a lot to power it though because of its massive size so my fan runs constantly but i have two fans in mine. Quote
lox Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I forgot to say that I don't use my cooling table when I am not at home. As u said, it's not very portable. Anyways, I think it's better to make ur computer repaired instead of buying such a cooling system. Not having emergency cooling fan is hazardous for ur laptop. Quote
avadakedavra Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Frying your harddrive would be very very bad. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 not just the hdd the whole motherboard....then you are very screwed. Quote
avadakedavra Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I've only done the HD. The fan in our desktop stopped and it kind of roasted itself. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 well everything in the laptop is very close together and when i sent my for repairs they said if you dont fix it you could have fried your motherboard. Quote

Cos those teeny weeny ones in your laptop took so little power. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 not modified...my laptop just need a powerful fan. Quote
pmech Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I have a dell inspiron kicking around, and I use it to download torrents I have that thing on 24/7, no under cooling pad, and it gets REALLY hot (they didnt perfect the cooling 3 years ago ) However, I have never had any problems with anything screwing up, so to say It seems you just need a new fan, like everyone else is saying Quote
Guest quasicartes Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Last week I blowed them, yes, I huffed and puffed all the effin' dirt away. And it worked! Great Lord! Quote
