CFS Liberty 2700T Overheating

Marko of Oz · May 24th, 2003, 05:49 AM

My searches haven't really narrowed down who made this laptop but anyway, it appears to be having an overheating problem.

I've noticed the system fan cuts in and out and I was wondering if this is normal behavior? Some sort of thermastat or is the fan toast?

This link is the closest I've come to identifying it, this model is a celeron 1GHz. http://www.clevo.com.tw/products/2200t.asp

cheers

Seems to be a "made for" product. You should email them and see what they have to say.

The only things to do with fans I came across was for a linux installation and a bios update was recommended...which seems not unreasonable... but since we don't know who made the bios for the laptop, using the clevo bios would be dangerous.

most notebooks use a thermaly controlled fan to reduce drain on the battery. the fan comes on at a pre-determined temp and then shuts off when the temp goes down however many degrees. this is pretty standart for all notebooks.

I would definitely get a new fan anyway if it runs hot then crashes. Maybe even try and get a higher performance one.

You could try www.3dcool.com they have all sorts of stuff there. I even got a PCMCIA slot fan to help stop my thighs from getting cooked...it works so well, the internal fan no longer has to cut in at all!
