I already tried to lower the temperatur point to see if the cooler starts working. It happens that my fan does not react to my changes at all. Even If I set up 40C as the point to start cooling the fan is still being activated at 45C. So I presume you are right with your suspicion that there is a non configurable hardware device playing a part. I checked my BIOS but found nothing related to deal with temperatur issues. Since this starts getting a serious problem (simple office work lets the fan go on and off giving me a hard time) I'll have a look at the decompiled DSDT. However, my knowledge regarding this is small, so is there anybody who could help me with the dsdt if I sent it per email? thanx a lot, Mirco - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
