And after you get the dust all out of it, use i8kfangui to control the heat.
- Spike, glad to help. John is right, I hope you got rid of the dust first. Even intense airflow throught the fan will blow a lot of dust out the side vent. A can of compressed air or even you blowing really hard works to get a lot out, but don't inhale for one thing, and it does not get all the dust, for the other.

The probable cause of the constant fan running is an accumulation of dust on the Microprocessor Thermal Cooling Assembly and Hybrid Cooling Fan. The Service Manual at this link explains how to get access to these parts. Get a can of Dust Remover non-flammable gas from an Electronic Parts store to safely get rid of the dust.
