• BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

  The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

  Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

  Thank you.

  Can you describe the sound?

  Currently, there is not an available BIOS update to solve this problem. Run the HP TuneUp application now and then to see if they become available.

  Just got it 2 months now but problem began in the first weeks. its good but then all suddenly your hear a scratch or questions of fan of him. I can hear it from the right down corner of the laptop.

  Hey @workingonit,

  You have RESTORED the factory default BIOS update?

  Check the fan to see if there is debris or dust on the fans. Here is a link that might help.

  If this is not enough, you need to replace the fan. Here is a link to your service manual page 42 for part numbers and how.

  Thank you.

• X 1-consumption of high power (> 20W), GPU 100% life time battery, short, fan-noise

  My new X 1 is ideal for grinding through data, but energy consumption seems high when idling or when I do simple tasks.

  I have the BIOS version 1.27 (released October 21, 2011) and Power Manager 3.62

  I have used Power Manager in order to use the value "low energy". However, the power used is always > 20W and usually around 25 - 27W. This translates into excessive heat (so the fan runs at 4500 RPM all the time) and the battery is lasting less than 1 hour if I give a Powerpoint presentation (not movies).

  In addition, the power watch GPU at 100% all the time - Manager is this normal or would it not be a cause of increased tension required?

  I tried all the solutions on fan noise in this thread:

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/X-series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X1-fan-noise/TD-p/469001

  I tried to set all the power settings to maximize independence in Windows 7, and then also in the power manager, but not enjoy. Help, please! What are the normal electrical needs and the GPU % at idle?

  Can 2 how I check the power supply to see if it is not part of the problem?

  Is there there tensions I can measure to see if its OK?

  Greetings,

  It seems to be a possible thermal problem with the graphics card fan.

  The fan on the graphics card work? Remove the side panel to check. Yes, you can remove the side panel while the system is turned on.

  Do not touch internal components. Just inspect.

  The Geforce 315 is a riser. I've never replaced graphics card fans, but I guess it's possible.

  A power failure is always a possibility.

  Eliminate food, the more reliable is to temporarily connect a good diet known to the system.

  The system was stable before the thermal emission of fan noise and possible? That should remove a power supply problem.

  You can replace the graphics card. Your PC has many options that were available for purchase.

  Please see here. Select "Options of material", then scroll down to 'Graphics '.

  See you soon!

• HP HP Pavilion dm4-3002ea Beats edition, the strange fan noise

  Hey guys first post so sorry if this isn't the correct procedure to indicate the problem or the right section!
  I have a HP Pavilion dm4-3002ea beats edition laptop, bought about a year and a half (so out of warranty).

  Now, the problem of the half that I have is a terribly strange fan noise coming from the laptop ONLY when it was hibernation, it is Purring away while I'm typing on it now, fan works fine, no overheating or issues like that, I can game, leave it on for hours etc its perfectly fine. The only problem is in hibernation it! I always put in hibernation in order to keep all my work of University ready to leave when I'm back on it, with all my tabs and such always opens on the sections, I need. It is very good that he hibernates without problem. Its when I go and turn it back on, it makes a vibration noise which I assume is the fan for about 15-20 seconds (?) as his recovery after hibernation and then is perfectly fine once more. He never did this noise after the sequence of the hibernation, or when I restart it. It's awfully strange and something I want to just make sure is not a real problem that I need this laptop for my university work. I can only assume, is the fan that makes noise, but it could be the HARD drive maybe? Not too sure on this one. He never blue screens etc, the HDD works fine so I'm really at a loss here! Any advice would be appreciated.
  Also I tried to clean the air fan, but I did not dare in disassemble correctly yet because it looks pretty complex of youtube, resembles access sick fan have to jump off the keyboard and the back which is a lot of effort. But if it goes bad opens and take a peek! I would like to know what it is, but I don't want to tinker with the bowels, as I used to do with my old laptop so its something stupid that is easily fixed! Also I always Hibernate it instead of closing it down, but being quite computer should not do lasting damage, I'm good? I mean he puts just the data disk HARD ready to be accessed the next time I turn it on? But hurt close more if this will help!
  Another quick problem which is pretty stupid because it is a HP Beats edition... half the speakers do not work on the right side of the laptop! Ironically, good! I'm not too fussed as its plugged in speakers on my desk, most of the time, but still it's pretty boring, as well. It creaked and went off one day and then he jumped several times on but now seemed to give up! The other side works well, reinstall all drivers etc to make sure that it isn't is not material, so I guess a loose cable? Pretty stupid, really, but still I guess another reason for me to break open and get to the bottom of this! As laptops out of warranty and I don't really want to take to a store of the laptop, in the hope of an old House of the noise of the fan if possible challenge! Speakers aren't that big a deal as always half works very well.

  If necessary, these specifications:

  HP Pavilion dm4-3002ea
  Windows 7 64 bit
  Intel i5 2450M 2.50 Ghz processor

  12 GB of Ram (I have added 8 gb on ago about 6 months so the amount)

  750 GB HARD drive.

  Congratulations to all!

  Hi Jack_DM4

  If I understand correctly you are updated, but we have still the sound issue only with the laptop not on devices so it looks like that the speakers on the right side of your laptop may be missing and vibration is still ongoing with the fan, but only when it starts first to the top that looks like a balancing problem.

  These two problems are hardware related but will not cause any damage to your computer. The speakers can be replaced if you choose by contacting HP here parts store and you place your order of new speakers and their replacement. If you are under warranty I would get fixed under warranty.

  The problem of vibration is just the fan rebalance itself when it starts first to the top once it gets to the speed of the passing air forces hovering in the centre of balance so he and when he settles down if imbalance. If you can deal with noise very well, otherwise you can order a new one from the link above HP parts store.

  If you are still under warranty I would strongly suggest that you get the notebook repaired under warranty as you may void the warranty if you open the notebook. If this is the case

  I think it would be best if you contacted technical support HP for repair options.

  Link US support for contact options for portable computers purchased in the United States.

  Link to American support outside of the contact options for laptops purchased outside the United States.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums and please feel free to re-post if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great day!

• Pavilion G6 - 1061ee BIOS update error causing the extreme fan noise

  Hello

  It been a while since that HP has completed a new update of the BIOS for my Pavilion G6-1061ee, I got v f.63.

  But now, they have made a new update of BIOS that is v f.65 I downloaded the file (the insydeFlash BIOS update) and when I run it and press START, my system freeze suddenly and EXTREMELY increase fan noise, it's like my CPU usage is 300% then in a few moments, the system shuts down and I could not be able to turn on the computer again , So I had to unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery then return everything back to be able to turn it on.

  So can anyone help me with this problem.

  OS: 8 64-bit Windows

  RAM: 8 GB (Original was 4 GB... And added another 4 GB)

  CPU: Intel (r) Core i5 CPU M480

  GPU: Radeon HD 6470 M with Intel HD 3400 grapchics

  - And thank you

  Kind regards
  Pedro Marthon

  Hello PedroMarthon.

  Are you currently overclocking the graphics card?

  In order to solve this problem, I think you should uninstall third-party drivers and use the official drivers for Windows 7 and the workaround posted by my peers.  The reason I suggest, is that the use of third-party drivers could cause strange problems and it will be easier to solve the problem.

  What I would say is remove the third-party drivers and then using the method posted in my response above.  Once the process is complete, I would try and then update the BIOS again.  If successful, you can remove Windows 7 drivers and again use your third-party drivers.  However, I'm not against the use of third-party drivers.

  I appreciated the way in which you have been given to work with me, so I went to come your messages of congratulations.  If you think that I was helpful please click the White Star under my name to give my messages of congratulations.  I would really appreciate it!

  I will keep an eye out for your next answer.  I wish you a nice day!

• Pavilion 15 p248ne: loud fan noise and vibrate

  Hello, so he started to happen when I move the laptop one day (when it's on) fan me all of a sudden very hard and the laptop everything vibrated, it sounded like the fan was touch something running which makes vibration and noise, it sounds exactly like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCLubSukzI I fixed it by restarting the laptop (sleeping too work looks like everything that makes the fan stop) but now It happens randomly, the normal fan noise has changed and there sometimes as fort again, as demonstrated in the video and then I have to restart to fix it. I tried to open up the laptop, but a few screws were too hard and stuck lol so I gave up. and I cleaned the vents of the dust.

  Hey @amro2,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  You mentioned that you hear a thud and the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p248ne vibrates when this happens. You thought that it sounded like the fan touched something in rotation. I also watched the YouTube video that you had provided for me. This was very helpful! Thank you.

  Perhaps one of the possibilities is that the fan should be cleaned.

  Even if you had not indicated that you do not encounter any problems with the heat, there is a document called a Fan is Noisy and runs constantly. This document has troubleshooting steps that may help. I realize that you don't have more intermittently as you a question on a regular basis, however, the steps described in the document can lead you in the right direction for resolution.

  I'll provide you with HP Pavilion 17 Notebook FHCP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide for your reference.

  If none of the steps above help, and the laptop is still under warranty (please use the auditor of the guarantee if you are not sure), I wouldn't open Notepad. While opening the laptop should not void your warranty, if any damage is caused during the process without contacting HP Support then it can void your warranty. If you are still in warranty, please use the following link to create yourself a file number:

  Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

  Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
  Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
  Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

• Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

  I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

  Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

  The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
  This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
  This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

  It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
  The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
  The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

  Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
  As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

  Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
  Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

  All opinions are appreciated.

  Hello

  Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
  If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

  But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
  This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

  Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

• Satellite M50-PSM53A has the constant fan noise

  Hi all

  A year ago I upgraded my Satellite M50 (PSM53A) from Windows XP to Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. I also downloaded the BIOS update for Vista from my region (Australia) Web site so that the BIOS version is now 5.00. However, Toshiba has not last updated BIOS for this model since February 2007 and as a result that my fan is constantly making noise whenever I use the computer (and turn off at all).

  The fan sometimes slows down depending on the load of computer work, but is not completely silent and on and blowing out it was Windows XP. In addition, the underside of my computer is not hot as it was on Windows XP, instead the breath fan and no heat is felt on the underside of the laptop. I also changed the settings in the Toshiba Power Saver under power options in Windows Vista, and this does not seem to make a difference in noise levels.

  I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem and if anyone knows a BIOS update or if Toshiba will provide a? Because, in all the teething problems, that I had in the upgrade to Vista, it is the only question that I left to correct.

  Kind regards
  -Adrian.

  Hello Adrian

  Either a little more realistic and objective s. You have a designed for Windows XP Home edition laptop and now you use the new operating system. I recommend getting some info on Vista and the first interesting info is that Vista uses more resources than the old Windows XP Home edition. More resources mean more pressure on the CPU and other hardware components. The result of higher performance is more heat.

  To protect the equipment sensors send information on fan/fans to run and cool the material. So, for me, it's the logical result after installation of Vista. I don't understand why you need this BIOS update should fix this.

  BIOS update is designed to install Vista and use of different Toshiba has also designed tools and utilities. I assume that the physical protection is high priority and why to change the values of the fans for Toshiba and may damage the material.

  Anyway, if you have installed all try them Toshiba tools use different power plan. For example, use the balanced power plan and define the method to the minimum level of cooling.

  On my laptop preinstalled Vista he reduced the activity of fan cooling but the performance is still good and I can work without any problems.

  Good bye

  Hello Jay

  Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
  Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.

  I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.

  Please send comments.
