Acer laptop overheat

[jansky]

hello to all IT guru here

my acer laptop fan suddenly not working and result to overheating

suppose to be the fan start pag medyo mainit na ung core at pag lumamig na eh mamatay ulit ung fan pero nung ginamit ko ngayon hindi na gumagana

any ideas baket hindi na gumagana ung fan?

kung fan ang problema may paraan ba para gumana ulit?



or any ideas baka mali lang ako na hindi fan ung problema


thanks

problema yan ah.. palitan mo kaya ang fan mismo? ang fan naman siguro ang sira diba? mura lng cr-r king. hehe. but quality, its a leap of faith.. though some products have good quality..

Since laptop yan and hindi madali maaccess ang loob, best bring it back to the store. Baka under warranty pa.

[jansky]

Still covered by Warranty but the problem is this unit was bought in the US this year and the receipt also gone sad to say and2 ako sa pinas

[JJCarEnthusiast]

oh no you've lost the recipt.. tsktsktsk.. pero pde pa naman siguro yang gawin sa service center kahit walang warranty card diba? babayaran lang? may service center naman siguro ng acer dito sa pinas.. kung hindi payag, dalhin mo sa kung sinong compuer technician.. sa kanya mo pa ayos at kung sira talaga fan, bili ka bago...

[jansky]

yeah, I already emailed Acer Philippines but no response from them yet

besides im not from manila.. and i think Acer service center is only in manila

hay buhay sana maayos na ung unit kow, dami pa akong mga importanteng documents don

[JJCarEnthusiast]

taga san ka po sir? ganun talaga yun eh nasa manila mostly ang mga service center. may desktop po kayo sir? ano kaya kung pabuksan (o ikaw nalang mg bukas kung marunong ka) mo ang lappy mo at pa kuha mo ang hd tas i connect mo sa ibang pc. ewan ko lang kung pede yan. tas backup mo...

[jansky]

yeah, im using my desktop now nag aalinlangan ako buksan ung laptop eh baka mas lalo ko pang masira pero pde ko cya on pde ko kabit sa pc ko pero it will only take about 5-10minutes tapos mag shut down na ung laptop , since nung nag ooverheat cya hindi ko na pinapatagal sa 5 minutes pinapatay ko na agad baka masunog eh

Sir talaga po bang ayaw na mag-run even on safe-mode?

My Acer laptop overheats too and the screen starts to mess-up and shuts off when it gets hot. So I checked the fan if it's working but i can't hear the fan anymore and I can't feel heat coming out of the vents as well. So I suspected it was the fan, the funny thing is it happened a day after the warranty expired. Anyway I had it checked at the acer service center and they said some chip got burned (maybe that was preventing the fan from working??) and the entire mainboard needs to be replaced. The total quotation was 12k, I was upset because it's just a year old and I never expected the damage to be that much.

I hope sir that in your case it's just the fan. Or sir you can try to direct an aircon vent on to the hot part to prevent it from shutting off, that's what I did so I can back-up my files.

To back up you laptops HDD. This generally works with all laptops.

1. Buy a external 2.5 inch USB 2 HDD case available from any computer store. Dirt cheap sa CDR-King.
2. Remove power cable and battery from your laptop.
3. Flip it over. You should see a hatch that contains your HDD.
4. Remove the screws.
5. Gently pull out the hard drive. It will usually slide out.
6. Your HDD may be protected by a metal like case, remove it.
7. Install it in your external case.
8. Connect HDD case to your desktop and backup.

Note: dont work on your laptop in a carpeted room and ground yourself before touching the HDD.

well it will work kahit naka safe mode or kahit hindi safe mode, but the problem is the fan

pumunta na ko sa isang computer center dito na Acer service center at check pa nila yung fan.. hopefully dust lang un at kaya ayaw umikot

i will have my feedback tomorrow from them sana nga fan at hindi na ko mag isip ng gagastusin pa


warranty void kasi ung resibo nasa tate hindi mahanap ng mom ko ung receipt
