Hey!!!
Try this code. It tests the fan voltage controls and let's you know what's what:
Code:sudo pwmconfig
Processor: Intel Atom N270 @ 1.6GHz. RAM: 1GB DDR2 @ 667MHz. HDD: 160GB @ 5,400rpm. Wifi: Atheros b/g/n @ 2.4GHz. Display: 1240x600 @ 60Hz. GPU: Intel 945GME. Performance: Flawless.
hi, I did it and my result is
I think it isn't a good result ahah xDCode:# pwmconfig revision 5770 (2009-09-16) This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm) controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

ah..I want to add that I have Ubuntu 64 bit ..any other hint? ;_;
Ok....try this. Log in to a terminal and:
I think you will find a single directory in there. Change into that directory by typing:Code:cd /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
Replace <directory_name> with the name of the actual directory.Code:cd <directory_name>
then enter:
Tell me what you see.Code:cat cooling_mode
