Laptop fan control
On my Acer laptop (which I recently bought together with Vista Premium) when
I go out of standby the fan doesn't stop running at max speed. It doesn't make sense that, being power settings at min level, during normal operation it just switch on once in a while (and not even at max speed, judging from its noise); and as soon as it wakes up it's impossible that it needs cooling down anything hot. I wonder whether this is a buggy Vista driver rather than a poor hardware design behavior, for which Acer would be responsible instead. In the first case I would ask for suggestions on how to switch fan off without rebooting the system each time (making standby feature useless). Thanks a lot, Ricardo |

If you bought Vista installed on the machine, then the whole thing is Acer's
problem. Hopefully one of the whiz kids here can help you with a tweak. "ricardo.l" wrote in message ...

Hoping to find a tweak, meanwhile, I'll ask them about it, because I am wondering whether this is to be considered something to fix by returning the machine to support service (or instead if all these laptops have the same, poor, fan behavior.) However, I hope this is due to some driver to update (but they should tell me which one). Thanks for your feedback, Ricardo |

No bios settings, but on booting there is no wrong behavior.
It arises on wake up after one goes standby or hybernation. Thanks though, Ricardo "Brett I.

I have the same problem. My laptop however is a toshiba preinstalled with vista home premium. I do not remember the problem before a few months ago. Theres reason to believe its a microsoft/software/update issue. Since it 'appeared' suddenly and on two different models of laptops... on 64 bit vista -- that might be important? -- miln ------------------------------------------------------------------------ miln's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/95015.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/866793.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
