Compaq fan not working, overheating and stopping.
I've had my Compaq Presario CQ60 - 227ca for about 2 years now and after getting my favorite fan on this last time he stopped working. The laptop since I bought it was always heating to a high temperature, but the fan just always worked harder. Thinking that it was the fan I had replaced him and made sure that it worked before my departure. Brought it home & had the same problem I did with the other fan.
I just bought a new laptop today to replace, but I prefer to have my old one operational. Everything else works fine on it, windows can be delivered end & works, it's just something with the fan. Thanks for any idea.
Then it's one of three things. The fan blades are clogged with dust, the fan is bad or the fan on the motherboard header went wrong. You must diagnose them in that order, and you're not sure if it's #3 until you try a new fan or test the old fan outside the case or on another laptop.

Qosmio F20 keeps overheating and stops after 4 h
My F20 is 5 months old and keeps the unit from overheating and stopping. It does when it worked for about 4 hours. I use a cooling and support to the recommendation of the support line, I've updated the bios.
They also suggested it works without the battery attached unit, but when I removed the unit from the battery and it ran on the sector it would not pass.
Any suggestions?
Hello
First of all, please check the energy saving settings.
The cooling method must be on "Maximum performance".
Also change the method of control of the CPU on 'Auto '.In addition, you should check if there is enough room around the laptop.
It is very important because of the airflow.In addition, you can check the ventilation openings. It is possible that the cooling fans may not work correctly because of the dust and debris inside the ventilation openings.
I read a lot of comments here in the forum and it seems that fans of cleaning might help. You can try to use the vacuum.
But if you do, be careful!If the laptop overheats after this procedure so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner in your country. Your laptop should be covered by the warranty at the moment.

Hi there @kathcat,
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
The quick answer to your question is clearly yes, because you are experiencing it. However, it should not cause this problem, and it is a symptom of a different problem. So the real question is why it arouses your laptop overheating?
As any type of electrical connection, it will draw current through your computer, and if your energy consumption is already high for other reasons, this will increase your level of heat.
I understand this as an info.
And this will help to show the things that you can try, to help reduce heat, including cleaning.
Reduce the heat inside the PC to avoid overheating
Also, if you post the complete product number, I can look for the correct service guide which should include disassembly instructions, that will certainly help with cleaning as long as you're careful and follow all instructions to avoid accidental damage. How can I find my model number or product number?
Let me know if this helped.

HP G62 fan not working not not :/
Hi, I have a hp laptop g62-454TU that has worked very hot lately. Recently when I was using my laptop on a desk the screen went black. I assumed it was overheated just as usual except when I rebooted it, there was no fan noise and there was a message saying that the cooling fan is not working and ask if I wanted to continue. I pressed on enter and it boots into windows. 10 minutes after if overheated and shut down again. When I rebooted, it came with the same fan not work message so I let it close. I can't use it. I will buy a dm4 soon but I would like to know what the problem is and if I can do anything. I don't know much about computers. At the moment I am using a Samsung 7 years so I need a solution. Should I buy a new computer? My HP is 2 years old and frequently overheated before. Thanks for your time.
Replacing the fan may be the answer with a good cleaning & radiator Setup review.
You may be able to get a light use out of it in it now raised about 25 mm & having a table fan boy blowing through it to help remove some heat & cool just run.
Unfortunately high that running time & bad thermal design & components is a standard feature of HP, a leading cause of poor life of laptops & of common failures such as hdd death in 18 months or less.
Do your homework before investing in a new laptop...

Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.
The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?
Hello
I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.

Just updated to ios 9.2 (from 8 something) and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters. I can not restore from iTunes because I have to disable "Find my iPod touch" first of all, and I can't do as the iPod is blocked with the message to update. Forcing a stop down does not work that for some reason, I am unable to turn off my iPod touch manually. I tried to turn off my wifi to see if that stops the iPod touch, but he always keeps on the message to iCloud. Do I just wait until the battery sinks so that it forces a reboot?
Place your iOS device into Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: I forgot the password or disabled device
If the recovery mode does not work, try the DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."
To learn how to restore:
To restore backup see:
Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support
If you restore from a backup of iCloud apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from backup iTunes, applications and music must be in iTunes since synchronized as music media library and apps are not included in the backup of the iOS device what iTunes does.
You can re-download most of iTunes purchases by:
Download after purchase from the App Store and iTunes Store iBookstore
If no problem what happens or doesn't happen, and when in the instructions? When you get the iPod into recovery successfully mode and connect to iTunes on the computer should say that it found an iPod in recovery mode.
