I have a Sony FRV 35 Laptop. At first both cpu fans would start up then stop. Eventually one of the two fans would start up at full power while the other one did not move at all. I finally figured out the only one of the two fan connectors are actually working 100%. I need to know how I can get both fans working, so I can avoid overheating. Also I removed the heatsink and cleared out all dust and also replaced the thermal compound with some AS5. Thanks for helping!

You can wire them together. just splice the wires on the one that runs weird add wire to it and run those wires into the one that runs good.

Well there are some things that might help you with this...  

  1. first you need to figyer out weather you have a Hardware, or Software problem.
Here are some ideas...
  • Go to http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html?Str=download for a free scanner. I use it all the time!  When you download it and install it, open it and let it scan... this will find ANY problems on your computer!!!

  • if this dosn't help then go to http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition#tba2 and download the AVG Free.  when it is done installing let it scan your computer (may take about 1-2 hrs)

  • if this does not help and you have no warranty, then I would just sell it somewhere like ebay...
and get a newer one :)

Do NOT open it..........I'm saying this because it AUTOMATICALLY voids your warranty!!!!!!!

Take it to a certified repair shop/store/dealer.......... ask them to open it and clean the dust out.

Or you can just try using a can of compressed air (found in electronics dpts/stores/computer shops,etc.....) and b low air through all vents and openings.

6 months is about right for the fan to become clogged and need re-cleaning. You could try the basics, which is:
1) Don't operate the laptop on your lap.
2) Ensure the vents are kept clear at all times
3) From time to time, simply blow into the vent holes to dislodge any dust.
4) If you can, use a laptop cooler to keep the temperature down in the laptop.

Sorry, I know overheating laptops are a pain, but it sounds like you are already doing as much as you can to reduce/stop/fix this.

Overheating
When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

CPU fan issues
The fan may not stay on all the time - its a feature of laptops to help save power. The fan is also variable speed. As the CPU gets hotter, the fan speeds up. When the CPU isn't being used as much and is cooler, the fan slows or even stops. It turns on to full speed when you first turn the laptop on as part of the BIOS system check.

The noise is another issue. You could have a broken "fin" or fan blade. The bearing could be going out. Something may have simply "crawled" inside the fan's output vent. In any case it may be worth your time to have a professional open up the laptop and look at the fan. I have heard a LOT of noisy laptop fans in my day, and believe me it's not the worst thing to put up with.

Hp laptop dv9500 noisy and loud fan ...
The sound you are hearing is probably the fan, This fan has a noisy bearing and will eventually lock up and the fan will stop spinning and therefore the CPU will overheat and shutdown.
The fan needs to be replaced.
