Hello All, This forum has been very good to me in the past, usually on the Unix side. I give you a Windows 2000 question...
I have a Compaq Armada 7400 Laptop running Win2kPro-SP3. When I start it up the fan clicks on for 1.5 seconds, this is normal operation. When the Win2k Splash screen comes up, the fan turns on and happily spins away for 15 seconds. After that it does not come on again... ever. I was playing a DVD and my pants almost caught on fire, still no fan. So I started searching, trying to find out anything about how to manually control the ACPI settings in Win2k. I downloaded the lastest SP3 and the latest BIOS flash for this laptop and even the Compaq power Utils. Still no fan. So here I am, please help.
