  • Hi Great Video, Could you tell me or anyone please, i seem to have a problem with my HP Dv6T laptop, first of all the main problem is that the fan seems to be running quite loudly but when i put my hand near the vent i can feel air coming out so i dont think its cleaning issue, #however as soon as i change power schemes from say Power Saver to HP Recommended the fan starts immideatley and keeps running and immediately as soon as i switch back it goes to normal.Any solutions appreciated.thank

  • DUDE the reason why you shold hold the fan is so it dosnt act like a wind turbine and send power back to the motherboard and blow caps and smd resistors -.- `

    

  • @81psychomemo try making sure the heat sink is screwed/clamped in properly, dust free and the fan(s) plugged in

    try checking ur HDD/RAM is plugged in

    a fuse burst

    device (eg cd/dvd, floppy disk, video card)error
