1 My laptop started getting hot recently. There is no dust issue. The
2 fan just doesn't seem to start at all.
3 I tried to use lm_sensors and sensor-detect, but it's not detecting
4 any sensors. I tried to recompile the kernel, enabling
5 all the sensors but no luck. using acpi woks in reporting some values:
6
7 acpi -V
8 Adapter 0: on-line
9 Thermal 0: ok, 58.0 degrees C
10 Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 103.0 degrees C
11 Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 105.0 degrees C
12 Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 10
13 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 7
14 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 7
15 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 7
16 Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 7

53 laptop is Asus U46E.
54 I am not very familiar with the kernel config related to thermal, so I
55 don't know exactly what other info I need to provide. If I am missing
56 something, please ask.
