Error on startup is System Fan <90B> gives 5sec to hit Enter to continue or shutdown.
Full Spec & Model here; http
/www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6b51ea.70484.0.html
I have a Cooler Master U3 (full metal body 3 fan cooling pad) but that only helps with basic temps... few degrees. Gaming League of Legends on it sends CPU/GPU to 101C and i'm guessing that's just the limit of the hardware temp sensors
Usable for office work and standard definition video but bluray or gaming... might as well dip my left hand in a kettle
I've scoured the web and have found some solutions which have worked for others but not for me
The Gist; (suggested on HP forums)
-Blown compressed air into the vent
-Vacuum hose to the vent, also accompanied by using a thin cable tie wire to rotate the fan blades
-Used a needle/wire to try manually spin the fan blade a bit
-Updated BIOS and also rolled back when did not work,
- changing "fan always on" mode off and on in both BIOS update & Rollback
-Factory Reset through HP Recovery Drive
- The next option would be to open up the laptop to get to the system fan and see if dust can be cleared, also snip some plastic which blocks a vent (known design fault stated on HP Forums)
---However, this requires taking apart the entire laptop, every screw and individual component... I'm not comfortable enough to do that, the first time, with a laptop costing over a £ Grand £
--------There was this; http/h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03620929 but again... Requires removing every component to do???
-Obviously, last option would be to take the laptop back to PCWorld KnowHow team and pay £££ to have it sorted. (Been 3 times already for issues, one of them was overheating graphics card)
... Costly!!!
Starting to think PCWorld sell products with known faults just to profit from their in-store KnowHow Team Service!
Rather see if anyone here has possible solutions or knows of a video guide showing in detail how to take the whole thing apart and put it back together again (which I have not found anywhere, just very basic illustrations like the pdf manual)
Thanks
