ThinkPad T440s Fan questions

My thinkpad t440s has long been a problem with the fan, it is not working properly, makes a noise and stops, the fan starts and stops at several recovery times and, at any time

I am not sure the reason for this, but it happened after a night I let it run and the next day it just happened

I would appreciate it if you could help me

OK now I solve it
Yesterday, I opened the computer and pushed the fan back down a bit, literally the fan blades, who arrested but he sounds, but now less than before
Today what I did take a little lubricant all in one, and I did what you see in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lxvmay2tn0)
This completely solves the problem and works well, and is no longer makes noise

I think this could also work, if you do not know how to disassemble the fan

  • Where can I buy a replacement of the Thinkpad T61 fan?

    Where can I buy a replacement of the Thinkpad T61 fan?  I looked everywhere in the Lenovo site, and I can only find the referenced part number, not a place to buy it.

    When I opened my Thinkpad, the fan, he said:

    Lenovo-P/N 42W2461

    FRU P/N 42W2460

    Everyone here has already tried other merchants successfully (eBay, etc.)?

    (I am out of warranty and the fan is noisy when it is hot, unlike when it was new, and I sometimes "Fan Error" at startup in the BIOS).

    Parts of IBM in the United States sells these fan parts, many fans on ebay are refurbished or from broken machinery (the fan should work fine).

    I think that IBM sells the fan for about 50 to 80 USD, including delivery by mail.

    Old NP 700 series. Beautiful samsung keyboard and touchpad: http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/samsung/samsung-12q2bts-series7-15-keyboard-lg.jpg

    1. What is precdedence in power options: power of bios options (max perf / etc) vs vs lenovo power management vs intel power windows profiles?

    1. lenovo battery vs windows manager battery, no difference through studies, anyone
    has links to?

    2 AHCI mode check that out in my samsung Wizard software, but there is no option for it in the bios updated. I remember adding an on my old computer Windows registry hack, and maybe the Software Wizard reads a false positive. How will I know it's on? Can I enable it?

    3. What is the default resolution and icon size people use most in detail, but not too small of a screen to get eye strain? I find myself on the 1600 resolution, but I'd be lying, even on the IPS, that videos pretty grainy. Also how will I know if I have IPS (and still more AUG or LG)? I also have a resolution of 1920, this slab IPS ONLY? I'm just surprised how grainy looks like the resolution 1600 large icons.

    4. how the people they control clicks and control t tabs, I find myself with the command of right (right) and the left index finger to hit the 't,' Ctrl left click to open a link in a new tab appears difficult ladies compared to my Samsung. That is to say if I'm to bed and do not want to use two hands to open a new tab.

    5. turn on highlight of my PDF in my PDF MUCH drive to school. How can I drag the mouse much smoother to highlight. So a click + drag? This seems to be one of the movements a harder to do on the touchpad, smoothly, in one fell swoop.

    6. http://imgur.com/nfw29fr shortcuts tack in my bar tasks I want to do a right-click, IE shortcuts textpad or explore.
    easiest way to do this? I often find myself clicking the icon and opening a program when I try to click on two fingers. How can I avoid this and do a right click on the shortcut to the taskbar for lancer.xls/.doc recent/pin?

    7. all good tutorial in the most effective way to use the provision of thinkpad?

    8. I heard a slight 'waterfall' empty sound randomly, when I turn on the sound using my trackpad. Initially, I thought it was the fan after unpacking, but it's the speaker!

    12 is the welded CPU in? I can be upgraded in the future to an i7? I guess, right me if I'm wrong, welded in Council means that no upgrade is possible.
    Enjoy the friends for help.

    1 IIRC Lenovo > Windows > BIOS. I am not sure about that.
    1a. If you are running Windows 7, use ThinkVantage Power Manager. If this is not the case, the regular windows you will do fine.

    2 T440s is AHCI.

    3. you're probably better off using native resolution with the DPI scaling, unless you have software that don't play well with scaling of IPR.

    (4. my personal solution for this is to connect certain keys in your browser: i.e.) F1 = new tab, F2 = Previous Tab, next tab = F3, F4 = close the tab.

    5. Configuring entire clickpad on this generation is poor. Try the tap and drag without actually clicking on the touchpad.

    6 see #5. Try to hit the bottom right area; It can be marked as right-click.

    7. don't know what you mean by that.

    8. I have not heard of this before. It disappears if you cut the speakers? May need to call the warranty for this one.

    9 call and ask.

    10. you are looking for the driver for power management, as well as the package Hotkeys integrations of access keys. Power Manager itself is unrelated to shortcut keys.
    10. These are funny key combinations now. Menu shortcut is SHIFT + F10 and Scroll Lock is Fn + S, I think.

    11. you can remap the keys with AutoHotkey. Unfortunately, I can not think of spare keys suitable on keyboard layout 6 rows.

    12. Yes, the CPU is soldered. In principle, you can unsolder the CPU and resolder a new, but it's a lot of work and risk. You could buy a card mother i7 and swap motherboards.

  • El Capitan 10.11.4 gel/Fans questions.

    Hello everyone, first I apologize in advance for my English because it is not my first language.

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina 13 "early 2015.

    For the last 5 months, I had the OSX El Capitan 11.10.3, who came out of the box with the computer. And it has always worked perfectly.
    In the last 5 months the mac never gave me any kind of questions!
    I mainly use the computer for listening music, browsing, chatting or writing texts (using base really anything heavy)

    U - unfortunately , I have to say, a couple of days ago on the App Store, I noticed a new version of update to OSX "11.10.4" and I decided to upgrade.
    Well, after a few hours, that I've upgraded to the new version my mac started having several issues.
    All first of all Fans. Without any reason after 1 or 2 hours after the upgrade (I was just looking the open web to 2 pages in safari, especially facebook and youtube)
    Fans have started to run really crazy and loud for 3 to 4 minutes... so strong that I thought that the computer was a blast and I closed all applications and waited for slow racing fans. The aluminium of the mac was not warm to the touch... Room temperature.
    This problem happened only the first day, I upgraded. But to be honest I sometimes feel the fans that sometimes short fast and loud without no reason.

    Last but not the least... GEL! Strangely also this problem showed the same day I upgraded my macbook pro to the 11.10.4 version and this happened to me about 5 times now! and it becomes a nightmare!
    When you use the mac computer just freeze the screen (mouse is stuck without the wheel is completely freeze) and after 4/5 seconds the screen is blocked as the work stoppage trackpad haptic vibration. I tried to let the mac like that for about 10 minutes, but nothing... only a hard reset can fix this...

    The last time that happened about an hour ago, and that's why I'm here...

    I already tried to start the computer with CMD + D to Apple diagnosis and check the hardware, but it is quite well show a message "No problems found" ADP000.

    Looking at the console I saw some strange messages, but as I am not a technician I don't know what kind of problem is...

    Anyone of you knows the problems on their macs?

    First of all: you ElCapitan, but have made typos in numbers: 10.11.3 was on it and 10.11.4 is now on it (I've made the same typo always).

    Your question may be due to Spotlight indexing, but I'm not sure.

    I propose to stop the mac and

    Then start while now the keys CMD + R: it starts slowly in the recovery Partition called. Choose "install OS" in the menu: it will install OSX on what is in the mac, it leaves your only user data. You must have a consistent internet connection, because the OS is downloaded again. So it takes time, be prepared for it. After that, the mac restarts and installs. Supposed to be all "fallen"bits"are corrected.

  • ThinkPad T440s - updating windows 10

    I have a T440s that has been upgraded to windows 10 about 6 months ago. After you have installed a new brother printer yesterday, the machine unbootable. It goes just to repair auto, then diagnosis, nor necessary. I tried several system restore points, but sr always fails saying it cannot copy the registry.

    I ran the diagnostics of lenovo equipment that breaks down in the reading test targeted the HDD with bad sectors. I backup all the data (which is on the SSD drive?) manually from the command prompt cli (which still works) before doing anything else. next planned step is to run the bad sectors). I wonder if bad sectors are where the registry (or its backup) is stored, and if so, then 'fix' the bad sectors will destroy the registry up to the point where I have to do a refresh.

    This is the first time that I am dealing with a system with a drive hybrid ssd (for startup & os hd for storage. given that it was originally a machine 8.1 will be running the windows update back 10 windows, and if so, he'll know where to write the files of bone regenerated to the ssd and hd?)

    Edit * I forgot to mention that the s.m.a.r.t said diagnostics portion the drive is fine. ***

    any suggestions appreciated.

    I do not know what causes these things, but ultimately, I decided (since I had a full backup of the data) run the bad sector thinkpad. He fixed the bad sectors, managed to recover enough of what was stored there so I could run the system restore, and now the phone works again.

    who knows?

  • A way to send and receive the SMS messages on ThinkPad T440 with Sierra EM7345

    I have a T440 with Sierra LTE. It works fine to connect to mobile networks.

    But here in New Zealand, one of our suppliers also provides free wifi hotspots to customers on certain plans. To use this property, I have to enter a password which is sent to me by SMS.

    Is it possible that I can display SMS messages sent to the SIM card inside my laptop?

    Now, I need to remove the SIM card from my ThinkPad (with all the hassles that implies), paste it into my phone, get the password, then transfer the SIM card in my ThinkPad (and often do not, it is y no food taken located nearby, so I can't restart because I had to disable the internal battery during the installation/uninstallation of the SIM card).

    So, if someone can point to a way I can just see these SMS messages on my ThinkPad, I'm grateful enernally.


  • ThinkPad w540 Fan Error

    Uugh.

    My laptop worked very well but then 5 minutes later, after I'm done, I realized that I forgot something, so I started it back up again that after the Lenovo logo screen, I get a fan error message and the portable computer shuts down. Now, I can't get into my computer at all.
    It is a fairly new laptop. I don't got it from the back in July so all my warrenties are still valid.

    I can do or do I have to send it back... again.

    Thank you

    Hi Koager,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problems with the fan system error on your ThinkPad W540.

    Can you feel the fan of the laptop runs at the lower part of the system? If it is not running then you should get it checked with our only service centre, since it is a hardware problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • ThinkPad T440s plus Nvidia is no connection?

    Hello

    Finally, I see T440s with discrete graphics, but why no connection?

    http://shop.Lenovo.com/se/SV/laptops/ThinkPad/t-series/t440s/

    "Traditional docks are not available for T440s w/Nvidia graphics - but there are alternatives to host USB."

    they route the additional heatpipe for discrete GPU through the area to the dock connector, and it's just easier to remove for dock connector to redraw the new discreet network of pipes, radiator for the T440s with GPU.

    The discrete GPU on the T440s is not very powerful, and given the new Intel GPU integrated can support 3 LCD simultaneously.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1200tx air winds (fan) questions

    laptop: HP Pavilion g6-1200TX

    Product number: QG468PA #ACJ

    operating system: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

    Mr President

    winds (fan) to air my laptop don't work properly and became quite noisy.

    This has led to very poor game performance. Earlier (6 or 7 months ago) while playing games (NFS THE RUN), the fan worked with great speed and therefore keep the laptop in a cool and also giving pretty good framerate between (18-25).

    But when I play now the fan remains completely rotate with very less speed and heat the laptop as radically. As a result the droped framerate (8-12). Even FULL HD videos run quite poorely.

    I spend loads of time to update all components (BIOS, chipset graphic everything), but it does not solve this problem.

    also, I restored my laptop and updated every thing, but again the rest of the question.

    I thing I should have my fan cleaned or replaced.

    Pls inform me of the cost for cleaning of the fan and also replacing the fan.

    I bought my laptop on October 25, 2011. Noida, Delhi, India.

  • Alienware 17 fan question

    Hello! I bought an Alienware 17 and had yesterday. I am extremely satisfied! I love this system! Although one must get used to the new user of Windows 8 interface, I really like my time using the Alienware. However, I have a question about fans...

    While using the laptop for heavy tasks, I think air broadcast by the fan on the left and not the right because I spent $3,000 on this laptop, I want to make sure everything is in good working condition. I was wondering if this is normal or if it is a malfunction of my hardware. I have not yet garguillo on this for more than ten minutes directly, but still when the left fan is turned on, the right is not. I didn't know the good fan fan the air once again yet! So I was wondering if the right fan turns on automatically after there is a certain amount of load on the processors or if it is a real problem.

    Please answer quickly please!

    Here is my solution. Read all about it.

    In my opinion, Alienware laptop computers are skewed when it comes to their fan profiles. It's just like that, I'm afraid, but there is a way around. Like you, I bought my laptop (M17x-R4) fans has worked, kicking in full power when I played the games. But now they have not. Who knows why. But in any case, the solution is to download speedfan NOT fan control software. Download Hwinfo. The updated link here.

    Then you can control two fans at the same time (you can't control them separately). I'm able to put my fans at 5000 RPM. First, you open the program, click "sensors", and then at the bottom are a small fan icon. Click and you can control your fans. Choose a speed, then click the 'manual' button that will set the speed. If you want to return to normal, click «auto system»

    Now, here's the problem. It all seems too good and easy, well it's because theres more than that. some laptops like mine, stops when you play a game and the fans are controlled by this program. but there is a difficulty. You must go to 'program' then 'settings' in the 'security' tab you uncheck the box 'Support' and then you have no more accidents. But what makes Community aid, it allows you to change auto manual system fans. when its not checked, you can not pass, then set the manual speed first, then uncheck THIS support and're you good to go. If you want to restore auto system, check the Community aid, and then select auto system again.

    That's all! Fixed. Now, you need to be wary of your temperatures, if I put my fans too weak such as 3000 or same 4400 my CPU was running hot enough, but this average time for me are usually in the 90s when you're stressed anyway.

  • Economic construction - RAID and Fans Questions

    I am considering the following construction to an editing room (badly used as reference guide). I don't know how many fans, if necessary, I have to buy. The case comes with 4 x 140 mm fans, and I don't mean to overclock the CPU immediately, but plans of OC'ing to 4.4 GHz in the near future.

    Also, would a RAID 0 configuration agree with 4 hard drives? The disc only I'd be willing to lose risk would be the drive of files/export output. So, any combination of table 2 disk could lead to catastrophic data loss. 'Economic version' of harm recommends raid 0 for a 5 hard drive configuration, so it seems that 5 hard drives is a sine qua non for RAID 0. Any comments would be helpful I have realized recently that you can do with RAID configurations. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not familiar with the case and do not know the air flow. If you are worried about the time, you can consider a larger case allowing a better air circulation. If you selected now is not very wide, so adding the fans on the side can be difficult due to the height of the fans and the height of the video card. The case has it air balanced, positive or negative? Dust filters are used on suction fans? There are so many questions, which make impossible the respondent.

    When you have generated your system, measure the different temperatures at stock speed. If they are acceptable, even under a load of stress, it shows that the coolant is OK. Now overclock and do the same test. If temperatures rise to say more than 10 degrees C, then you have additional fans and you have to study the airflow more closely.

  • HP laptop OMEN 15 J9K19UA: HP Omen Fan questions

    A week ago I got a Windows 10 update and a few utilities HP, so I've updated everything and now the fans Act really strange. They go to their maximum speed and then slow way and then go all the way back to the top again, this repeats several times as long, I use the laptop. I checked for the current process and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I tried to play with the speed of the fan through the control of Omen, but appears not to be able to lower the fan speed.

    So it turns out that it was the HP System Event Utility, I uninstalled and installed a legacy version and fixed it. I'm not sure what the update was, but he made sure I control is any more fans through the control of omen. Well, my computer still works very well, and I'm happy.

  • Pavilion fan questions after replacing fans.

    I have a 4 years, HP Pavilion Elite m9500y equipped of Windows Vista. I had received messages from 'system fan failure' on startup from time to time and had heard loud grinding noises still occasionally. I changed the power supply and a video card, and none has solved the problem. Lately, computer work really slowly and the CPU temperature was more than 100 degrees Celsius only at startup.

    I replaced the cpu fan and case fan today and have encountered a new problem - when I hit the power button, the computer starts up, I see both fans run for about 10 seconds, and then they stop. The CPU fan first, then the case fan. Then, I get an error message saying the CPU fan has failed and the computer turns off. It is possible that I installed the fans back. Does anyone know the correct orientation or have pictures? Anything else may have caused the problems?

    skidlz,

    54sec at 01:17 minutes this video shows the CPU fan and the orientation of the blade. In regards to the rear case fan, fan shroud has an arrow showing the flow. The fan is a fan, so he blows on the back.

  • Satellite Pro L450-180 fan question - question

    Hello

    I recently bought this model

    It works well, there is something strange with the cooling fan:
    with win 7, using performance battery fan mode turns on every 2-3 minutes, runs for 10 second Athens, he died.
    This happens even at low temperatures
    heasink seems to work very well since cpu stress test does not exceed 53 degrees after 1 h.

    After that, I worked on power profiles (even with toshiba advanced cooler option on the minimum)
    with the help of power saving mode it works a bit slower but every 5 minutes... This seems quite often.

    Is this normal with this model
    I got l300 and wasn't working so frequently.

    Pls me know if normal or not.

    THX and BR.
    Exonex

    I agree with you on L300. Of my friends has this model laptop and we changed the method to the minimum level of cooling and cooling fan runs quiet and not so often. Unfortunately, more than that can be done.

    Akuma is also right. Each laptop model has clean and different cooling system and to compare it with other models is not so relevant.
    I recommend you to use the power plan balanced with the minimum level of cooling method. That's all I can say about it.
