Laptop fan sounds terrible

[phillpower2]

the vibration on the bottom is coming from the back left corner on the bottom of the laptop

Got to hold my hands up here, I misread the above as bottom left corner, sorry

If you look at the attachment below you can see that in the area that you describe the noise and vibration coming from there is a cooling fan and what I suspect needs replacing, not a task that should be undertaken by someone that is not experienced with dismantling notebooks and definitely not by someone that does not have the means to repair or replace the notebook should they make a mess of the repair.

Thanks for the BIOS info, not of much help to you when it comes to finding your system temps but not sure why you would have had problems booting from a USB device tbh.

Well maybe theres so much dust inside that the fans are actually fine and a simple opening it up and just air canning the inside would solve the problem?

If not i notice screws in each section of the laptop where the pic shows the fans are as if unlike most laptops, its built to have anyone do something as basic as replace the hard drive or fans? I mean no i have so experience with doing that on a laptop but it seems to be designed in a way that “layman” were meant to be able to do it right? (Otherwise why not make it a little harder to get too or why have removable sections for each area that may need repkacement)? I do have experience doing this kinda stuff with a pc sooo does that count?

Lastly have we ruled out the hdd being a problem then?

Dusty fans don`t normally make a vibrating noise or cause a computer to actually vibrate, worn bearings on the other hand do both and along with causing overheating.

For our part it has been emphasised that opening up a notebook is not a task best undertaken by someone inexperienced in such matters, that said it is your notebook and your decision to make so we need to leave the final decision up to you, take a good look at the disassembly guide here and see if you still consider the task within your remit.

Resolve the overheating problem and the temps of the HDD should also drop to within a safe limit.

ok so this is odd. Here are my new temps despite me not doing ANYTHING at all to the laptop. Those temps looks much more acceptable. However why the change if I didnt do anything? However the fan is still way louder than it should be for what Im using the PC for

[phillpower2]

Still to hot for a computer not under any load, watch a video or do some gaming and watch the temps climb.

[Antoine]

well yeah I expect high temps during gaming, that parts normal. Its the 80+ temps while doing nothing that was weird. Though as I said the fan is still loud despite the lower temps and now theres a sound that sound like constant disc reading despite there being no disc in the cd drive and while I know HDDs constantly read, it shouldnt sound that noticeable or obvious, any way I can maybe record the sound so you can hear it?

[phillpower2]

You can record the sound if you like + check the HDD with CrystalDisk, see below;

Check the HDD with CrystalDiskInfo 7.0.0 Standard Edition which you can download from here once done grab a screenshot (possibly two) of the results and attach to your next reply for us.

To capture and post a screenshot;

Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start…all programs…accessories…paint…left click in the white area …press CTRL + V…click on file…click on save…save it to your desktop…name it something related to the screen your capturing… BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG …otherwise it may be to big to upload… Click on the Upload a File tab then after typing in any response you have… click on Post Reply like you normally would.

Screenshot instructions are provided to assist those that may read this topic but are not yet aware of the “how to”.

Any update for us Antoine?

[Antoine]

dunno what any of this means but something tells me those low numbers are bad

[phillpower2]

Apologies Antoine, the original link appears to have been changed from CrystalDisk Info to CrystalDisk Mark, new link here, can you run CD Info and upload the screenshot for us please.

[Antoine]

this look much better

[phillpower2]

That does look ok but can we have the top half, the results are scrolled all the way to the bottom so the top half of the results are hidden, hence why I said that it may take two screenshots

[Antoine]

here ya go

[phillpower2]

The HDD checks out fine (y)

How is checking the fan coming along.

Any update for us Antoine?
