topic VAIO VGN-A155B Fan in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-vgn-a155b-fan/m-p/107254#M126121 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have recently bought a VAIO VGN-A115B. The fan on the unit is constantly running. It is very quite, but still it is running. This should not be on a centrino Notebook. My father's Samsung Centrino Notebook is completely quite when running regular office software.<BR /><BR />Do the other owners of this model have the same problem? Any solutions?<BR /><BR />Please post your feedback. I will turn it to Sony, if enough people complain about this. This problem could probably be solved with an update of the VAIO energy saving tool or a BIOS Update.<BR /><BR />Thanks!<BR /><BR />Steffen<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 15 Jul 2004 19:37:51 GMT sk 2004-07-15T19:37:51Z VAIO VGN-A155B Fan https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-vgn-a155b-fan/m-p/107254#M126121 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have recently bought a VAIO VGN-A115B.

I found that out when I entered the BIOS at startup (press F2 when the VAIO logo appears). After a while the CPU fan started. So there must be another fan in the unit. Maybe the Southbridge or the GPU...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Jul 2004 13:22:20 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-vgn-a155b-fan/m-p/107255#M126122 sk 2004-07-16T13:22:20Z Re: VAIO VGN-A155B Fan https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-vgn-a155b-fan/m-p/107257#M126123 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My mistake.

Have you scanned you computer with an UPDATED antivirus ?? Some of them are using a big part of your system and then the processor need to be cooled .....<BR /><BR />Hope I helped you !!!!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Jul 2004 14:57:56 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-vgn-a155b-fan/m-p/107258#M126124 lechimistefou 2004-07-22T14:57:56Z
