Re: fan in laptop

That'll be the laptop cooling itself down when it's working hard.

Re: fan in laptop

Fan bearing getting dry.. I'd strip down and then take off the fan cleaning it and placing a blob of silicone grease on the shaft before reassembly. If though under warranty just give them a moan and they should replace it.

Other than that it could just be dirt, try some airduster

he will give Sony an excuse to void the warranty if he strips it down

as dilli says Most CPU cooling is done via a controlled system which monitors system temp and raises fan speed when required. Pretty much every laptop I see does what is discribed ( telling OP this not you kymmy as I know you know lol)

I think you will find it's a lifetime warranty 'cos it certainly feels like it some times

Re: fan in laptop

Well I called Sony and the direction it heading is repair. But is the latest a bad sign fan getting louder hotter and for longer also I got a bsod saying Irq_not_less_or_equal and it can't start it trying start up repair then it launched a second start up repair where it says " checking disc for errors. This might take over a hour to complete" why

Re: fan in laptop

the crash caused the disk to stop mid work so it checks it for consistency this is normal after a crash. You done the right thing sending for repair

Re: fan in laptop

Pretty much every OEM will do this when they "repair" a computer. They spend no time on initial diagnosis. So you need to make sure anything important is backed up

As for what can go wrong the list is to long to type but everything can go wrong lol
