BIOS from HP

Fan Problems

Published on March 22, 2008 By WeatherBound In Personal Computing

I was wondering if any one else has this version of BIOS Hewlett-Packard F.3D installed on a HP notebook.

I have a HP dv6308nr Pavilion notebook. The problem is the fan never shut off or speeds up. It always stays at the same speed.

I have sent my notebook twice Hp to get this fixed and they keep on sending it back with the problem not solved. I decided to contact HP one more time and they said that this F.3d version of Bios has the fan problem that the fan stays on all the time and there is nothing They can do to fix it. Basically I'm stuck with it till they make a new version of Bios.

If any one has this F.3D version of Bios installed on your notebook. Can you please tell me if your fan stays on all the time.

(btw: that fan will never (and shouldn't) go off completely. Only the RPM's drop)

The fan stays on at a medium RPM rate. its fairly loud and annoying.

Ask for Mark Hurd's Office. You won't get him (then again you might), but you will get someone from his office who will know more how to address your problem then he'll ever know or want to know. Explain the whole sorry story and then sit back and enjoy the show.
