SONY VGC js270-j powers on to # 1 & # 2 cpu fan speed error. I can get to bios but the unit clicks off and then restarts to do the same thing. After three times both fans come on strong and runs for about 30 seconds then the unit turns off. The clock battery needs replaced but any suggestions. Thanks

SOURCE: I got from a customer VGC-RC310G, dont't bootup.

Got from customer? Meaning what?

Nothing strange about a 4 wire CPU fan cable.

One wire is for a Positive connection. One wire is for a Negative connection.
One wire is for a sensor that reads the RPM's. The last wire is to regulate the fan speed.

3 wire connector has one Positive wire, one Negative wire, and one wire to read the fan speed.

Manufacturers of fans can put the wires in their connector in any order they wish.

Therefore the 4 wire fan's connections may not match up to the 3 pin connection on the motherboard.
Move the wires around after testing the pins on the mobo, (MOtherBOard), with a multimeter.

Use a needle to depress the lock tab for the metal terminal in the connector, so you can remove the wire.
To explain:

The wires go down into Socket holes of that fan's plastic connector.
The wires go down into the BACK of the plastic connector.
The wires end in a metal terminal. It is a type of Molex rounded female terminal.

A Molex Female Crimp Terminal Connector.

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/336134982/molex_female_crimp_terminal_connector.html

Left-click on the image in the rectangle. (Has powin.en.alibaba.com across the image)

Takes you to another page showing the metal terminal again. This time you can enlarge the image.
Click on the Zoom In icon at the top ( + )

Looking at the image, a wire comes in the Left side. The U shaped tangs you see are then crimped over the wire. The right side has the receptacle end for the pins on the motherboard. This end is in the Front of the fan's connector.

Come to the left partway on that round barrel shape, and view the tang that sticks out.
There is also one on the opposite side.
These tangs lock the female metal terminal in the plastic connector.

A needle is used on the Front of the connector, and is inserted up into one side of the socket hole.
Inserted up into one of the sides where a tang is.
Inserting the needle depresses the tang.

(You may also have to view the tang as best as you are able, and ensure that it is depressed. {Magnifying glass}

The needle is then inserted into the other side where the other tang is present.
This tang is depressed, then the wire, and metal terminal can be extracted out of the Back of the plastic connector.

Gently bend the tangs back out using the needle. Then after you have removed the wires, (With the metal terminals on their ends), you reinsert the wires into the plastic connector's socket holes, in the order you wish.

Don't use the sensor wire that regulates the fan speed for the 4 wire fan connector.
Use the Positive, Negative, and fan RPM wire.

Sony VAIO VGC-RA810G Desktop overheats and freezes.

Following are the reasons for overheating, just take care of these things::
- Clean the Processor fan, Heat Sink and other peripherals
- Use High Speed fans
- Use CPU Heat Sink Paste in the processor

- Stop Overclocking your CPU
- Make sure your Heat Sink is placed properly above the processor
- Make sure your dint restrict the speed of CPU fan.
- Use Additional Cooling Units
- Shut down your computer at least two hour a day
Finally i will suggest you to get system utility program like PC Fresher. because it is a very useful tool that cleans your computer of temp files, history and cookies. Its also used to fix any registry errors that cause of overheating

My CPU fan started to become unreliable and would not always start. This gave me an error tone when this happened. I therefore replaced the whole assemble with a akasa AK-955 unit from maplin. This worked...

i hate to say this but you may have had a bad fan sent to you or it is not connected into the actual cpu fan port. or the fan is giving false rpm readings to the bios even though the cpu is staying cool.....last thing.... make sure you used thermal paste to install the heatsink/fan ect... otherwise you may run a high risk of burning the cpu.

Its not reading the monitor

1. check monitor power is on.
2. check signal cable is connected.
3. Check cable for damaged/bent pins.
4. Check that correct interface is selected on the monitor. (VGA, HDMI, DVI etc...)
5. If you have more that one graphics card installed in your system make sure that you try all connectors on all cards as the integrated graphics might be disabled in the bios.
6. If your connecting your monitor to the CPU by a cabe other than a VGA cabe then try using a standard VGA (15 pin cable port is usually blue).
7. try another monitor.
8. Try a bios reset, usually jumpered inside the CPU casing, just make sure that opening it will not void any warranties.

If your still stuck let me know.

VGC-RB50 Display Problem

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that the MB or the processor just took a dive on you. Most likely the processor... as you are able to power up. If it were the memory or the video card, you would hear a series of beeps when trying to start the computer. And you already verified the monitor is fine.
