I considered updating the BIOS but couldn't see the point as this only became a problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04. Previous versions of Ubuntu were fine. Also there is no mention of a problem with the fan coming out of standby on the revision history.
>From what I can see, F.19 requires Windows to install it locally so this could be tricky. F.17 is available as a Rompaq so I will copy that onto a DOS bootable USB and try that. I'm not convinced it will resolve this bug introduced by Ubuntu 13.04 though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1213348 Title: Fan too fast on HP 6910p after standby Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a HP 6910p that has an issue where the fan is running too fast when coming out of standby.
