[Bug 484514] Re: Fan never powers up causing cpu overheating and shutdown

[Ed]

I also have this problem, the fan does not come on at all, it has come
on occasionally in the bios setup but will never come on when running
ubuntu (9.1)

I have read elsewhere that it can be fixed by updating the bios but the
update acer provides is windows based and as I only have ubuntu on my
system I cant seem to update it.

Any ideas on how to run acers bios update ? or anything else that might
help.

Im new to ubuntu so this is all rather alien to me ... I wish I had set
up a dual boot ! now that would have been sensible !
