Can't control Dell laptop fan anymore

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's been a bad week for me.
First my disk drive died, and now I've replaced it
and installed F33 (up from F26)

After running it for a while it started running flaky,
I hadn't installed gkrellm yet.
When I did, I noticed that it was reporting a fan speed of 0 RPM.
True, it wasn't spinning. Maybe it was overheating that that's why it was getting flaky.

[I ran the Dell BIOS hardware test routines, and they spun up the
 fan and reported no errors.]

So I know the fan works, and presumably thats why the hw test
spun it up and spun it down again.
What I'd like to do is to manually control the fan and look at it's
sensor directly (like the Dell hw test does), but I don't know how.

Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5567.
I'm not sure where to go next.
Thanks

Here's a snippet from running 'sensors':

$ sensors
dell_smm-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
Processor Fan:    0 RPM
CPU:            +36.0°C   
Ambient:        +34.0°C   
SODIMM:         +34.0°C   
GPU:            +30.0°C
