If you hack the BIOS, you might b0rk the BIOS. You b0rk the BIOS, your computer don't boot. In laptops, unless you can source a new BIOS chip and are very good at precision manual soldering, heh...

I support SOPA and I dare say it.
No. Unless the dv6 has a different structure, the dv7 has no speed-controlling modules. Neither fancontrol in Linux nor Speedfan in Windows can detect anything.

I came across this website (http://notebookequus.blogspot.com/20...sdt-table.html) which describes how to fix the issue in Windows Vista, but I am not sure how I would go about doing this in Ubuntu. It worked for a user with dv5 in this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Noteboo...ht/true#U25553
It looks like I need to modify certain parts of a dsdt.aml file, however I cannot find this file on my system.

Hacking the DSDT table is highly not recommended unless you really know whatcha doing.

I dual boot with Windows 7 now and the fan only runs when needed and turns off when it's not needed. Because the fan is able to work correctly in Windows, I'm sure there must be some way to get it to turn off in Ubuntu. If someone could help me resolve this issue I would be very grateful.

Bump. If I try editing the DSDT table in Windows (http://notebookequus.blogspot.com/20...sdt-table.html), would the changes I make there affect the fan in Ubuntu?
