HP dv7-6163us Fan 'Grinding' noise just started happening
I have a HP dv7-6163us Entertainment PC. Here are the specs = http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02863099
So, I encountered a problem with this computer after updating the Web site of VIA HP driver. This update has been advised I did. It has also helped make my computer more efficient. I don't know if it was what he did, but I'm sure that at 90% - my fan is now making a grinding noise weird noises every once in a while. After a while, it got worse, and he is VERY strong now. I'm not really send it because it will take a while... So if you guys can help do it please!
Thank you
Connor
You would not keep driving your car if the brakes were made a squeak, right? I doubt that the software update had nothing to do with the fan noise. Just a coincidence. Try bow on a trombone. Stick to the fan to keep the spinning fan blades and blowing in compressed air and see if the dust flies. Sometimes this lead a fan and let it run better. If this does not work, you have to have the fan replaced; I'm sorry.

Want to Phoenix 860 - 18st CTO: fan made grinding noise on start up
At startup, the rear fan makes a grinding noise. It ends by moved out. It worries me because no Squeak should occur, especially right out of the box.
Open the folder and there is no obstacle to the fan. No sounds after 5 starts grinding. Problems may have removed himself.

When I opened a new photo layers are automatically locked and not will not unlock. It only started happening. Any ideas?
Some formats like jpg does not support layers, that's why it opens as a locked background layer.
You can unlock the layer by dragging the padlock in the trash. This will convert the background layer to a regular layer.
If this is still insufficient, capture your screen with the open layers panel and everything collapsed expanded layers. Then post here so we can see what is happening.

HP DV7-4020sa fan - cleaned noise and still make the noise
Hello.
I need help with my laptop. It is a DV7-4020sa.
Since I bought the laptop (used) the fan made a horrible squeaky sound. I decided to fix it today so dissambled laptop computer and gave the fan a good clean and also put some wd40 on the axis of the fan.
Unfortunately, after reassembling, the fan still makes noise. It's strange because if I pull the screen/lid slightly towards me, it stops the noise, and also if I apply pressure to the lower part on the base where the fan is located.
Should I buy a new/submitted fan new to replace it, or is there a fix I can apply?
Thanks in advance
Hello:
More than likely, the bearings of the fan are in ruins, and the only solution would be to replace the Fan/Heatsink combo. The fan is not sold separately.
Your model equipped with a discrete video adapter according to the product specification, so you should be the Fan/Heatsink Assembly which, according to the maintenance manual, includes hardware replacement, intended only to computer models with graphical subsystems with discrete memory. Part # 606575-001 HP.
It's quite expensive at $84.28, but I do not buy a used assembly (if you could find another one) and eventually encounter the same problem on the line.
Sometimes this happens because users simply spray a jet of compressed air into the fan intake and exhaust air vent covers, which is perfectly OK, as long as you place a PIN or something that can get through the protection grid, between two of the fan blades to prevent it from turning.
It is not a contest to see how fast or strong you can do this fan to lament when cleaning, because that's how the bearings get ruined. They are delicate and only designed to handle a certain RPM range.
One can only imagine how far beyond this tolerance range fan bearings can go, when they are subjected to a jet of compressed air of a jet!

When I go on youTube and click on a video, I get a black screen with controls and an arrow of beginning in the middle. When I click on the arrow to start, no video only comes up... just the statement: "year error occurred." Please try again later. "Same thing on other sites with videos. They will not play. Another site with videos, he says that the player will not load.
I cleared the cache, cookies, downloaded the new 14 beta version of firefox, tried to download an old version of Adobe Flash Player (11). I had Firefox v13.
Nothing has changed so far. I hope someone can help with this.

Could see you if anything in this article helps you: 11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox.

I was watching www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles for months. I started using Firefox about a month ago. Earlier today, when I tried connecting to the site, I received the message "Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end."
I went on your site and follow the instructions. This Web site was not in the blocked sites. He told me how to add it, and I did.
She still refuses to open this site.

I think it started after an update. I want to disable the "print to file" when you print on the internet. I would like to know how?
Assuming that you have checked in fact in the firefox menu, then he showed the correct printer not another printer of the program then.
- Try in the questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode because it might be an add-on somehow interfere
- Look at this KB MozilaZine on reset the printer
- If the operation fails, it may be useful to consider the setting up of a new establishment of a new profile or to force a new creation.
