I am hoping someone has some insight on this problem.
What is occuring is that at initial bootup the fan is spinning. As soon as XP starts to load the fan stop. I installed a new fan on the off chance that it was a bad contact but that obviously didnt work. I have also set the power managment to always on with no change. I have also tried it on battery and AC individually with out any change.
I heard the fan power down one day after I had been working on the laptop for a couple of hrs and have since been affraid I would burn out the CPU if I left it on to long. I do have enough time to get into the bios and control panel without frying the CPU.
Also by the time the BIOS loads the fan stops.
There is a patch on the IBM site concerning powermanagement and Win2000 but not XP so I am pretty sure it doesnt apply. Besides how do you install it before things becom terminal :?:
Any help or adice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
