I used the Fn+z tip and the sound went away; however, after about 10 seconds the sound came back… any advice? I have a Dell Latitude D610.

Great topic by the way

Hi Guys,

This website is great!

I have a dell Inspiron 9300 Core2 2.0GHz, 2 gig RAM, 256mb NVIDIA Geforce 7900GS, with a 160 gig HD.

The computer still works and turns on normally and I can do normal work things with it but I cant play games properly. When I do play games the frame rate is very low.

I found out that there are 2 fans on the this laptop. When looking from the top of the computer, like you would be working on it, the left fan is for the video card and the right for the CPU.

The CPU fan still works, and I downloaded a program that forces all the fans to work at thier maximum. That did make the CPU fan work hard but the video fan didnt budge.

So I thought that the GPU is overheating and that the low framerate is protecting GPU from damaging itself.

Now the problem that I have is that I need to find replacement fans, I’ll replace both fans, and then I need directins on opening and replacing the fans.

Thanks so much!

John
