acer 1692wlmi : fan is driving me mad

Post by abducted » Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:18 am

Hi ! I have an acer 1692wlmi laptop and the fan noise is driving me mad.

The fan is activated

a few minutes after windows starts then stays always on.

I have opened the laptop and cleaned very carefully the fan,the heatsink

and the vents.

I have even flashed the motherboard with the latest bios

but it doesn't make any difference.

It drives me mad.

I think about buying a fanless laptop mat like this :

Is it useful or just placebo?
