Overheat laptop HP Pavillion

[Esteban Mendieta Jara]

Hi there

I have a Hp Pavillion 2135LA (dv 2000). I installed the ubuntu 6.06 and the laptop was always really ovearheat, then I upgraded to 6.10 - 7.04 and it was the same.

Also I have the problem with the battery life, it only works for 1 hour. So I think the problem for the battery is because the overheat of the laptop.

I am monitoring the temperature of the laptop and usually it is around 65 celsius, but some times it is in 70, 80, or even 92.

So I dont know what to do, if the problem is of the hardware, it is a bug, or what??

The part that is really hot is where the hard drive is

We may need some info on the hardware of your laptop

should a lshw be enoguh?

on the terminal do:

sudo lshw

sudo lshal

and paste/upload the results here.

With that we might bre able to see if it's something that is common in this kind (or any similar) chipset.

Anybody else having this problem?

[Andrey Zhekov (x3ro.daemon)]

same platform, form factor...even having two different versions of Ubuntu - the problem is similar

[Ruben Romero (huayra)]

it seems so. do you have the same issue on windows or is just ubuntu
related?

As far as i'm concerned the issue is just with ubuntu. can you confirm that?

yeah in my case it seems the problem is only with ubuntu

[Andrey Zhekov (x3ro.daemon)]

You know, I've found some fix to this on the ubuntuforums.org: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539365&highlight=overheat

Include theese lines to your /etc/modules and reboot! You would notice the difference very quickly :)

battery
ac
thermal
processor
acpi-cpufreq
cpufreq-userspace

[Andrey Zhekov (x3ro.daemon)]

Take the last advice as a "patch" but where to fix in sources?

[Esteban Mendieta Jara (estebandid0)]

Well

I was getting the problem worse, because the power cable was also over heating.

So I call HP and ask it for the warranty, they give me the ticket number and went to the store and one of the people there told me that this model the HP Pavillion 2135 has some over heat problems and it is because a little metal (looks like aluminium paper) close to the hard driver.

They tested the machine and discovered that the fan was also broken so they changed, remove this little metal thing, and everything has been working fine since

[Ruben Romero (huayra)]

que bueno que se arreglo! :)

Ponle una sonrisita en el foro!!

Saludos,

It was a hardware problem, and now Ubuntu runs perfectly on the device

[govinda6666 (ariccanfly)]

this model is "recalled" sortof... extended warantee due to overheating..

[govinda6666 (ariccanfly)]

here are the affected models from HP, jsut so the ubuntu/kernel developers dont think they casued this...(or problems relating to these models)
yes mine overheats in windows too...

If you are experiencing one or more symptoms listed below, and your computer meets the product criteria listed below, contact HP to determine whether you are eligible for a free repair."

lol! their repair is to downgrade you're video card, and there bios "fix" is to reduce your shared video memory from 256, to eaither 128, to 64.
wtf! I'm not eligible for repair becasue my computer still runs... which is of course becasue i've been monitoring the heat, becasue linux has sensors that i can actually see... really tho... never buying an hp again...
