varjis Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 When I bought the machine the fan on ultrabay graphics card was working. Now the fan doesn't spin. Temp rises to 97-99c and then the graphics card lowers MHz. Has anybody had this problem? Should I try the custom BIOS? Another problem is with webcam. Windows keep losing the device in Skype etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Don't think the vBIOS has anything to do with it. Try disassembling the Ultrabay and unplugging/replugging the fan header. If your fan is dead, you'll need a replacement. If you're still under warranty, send it in.http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/3310-pictures-disassembled-y500-ultrabay-gpu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they didn't fix this issue. I think I have to send it in again. Does it void warranty if I disassemle ultrabay GPU?I'm pretty sure the fan used to work. But does the Ultrabay fan spin normally if you run the dust removal?Does anybody know is the webcam issue known problem? When using Skype or Windows Camera program it keeps losing the webcam device?

varjis Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just noticed that when I try to run the bios upgrade (normal 3.05) I get a error. "BIOS version compare error" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Disassembling Ultrabay GPU does not void warranty.Running Dust Removal maxes out the fan speed. It should be very audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octiceps Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Mind providing the 'how to do yerself' tutorial?p/s: 'm new here.No tutorial, just remove a few screws. Very simple as you can see from the photos: http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/3310-pictures-disassembled-y500-ultrabay-gpu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlfonzie Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i had to dissassamble mine and jerryrig it back together since mine seemed to have been shoddily made out of the factory, second time i pulled it out, the whole face plate came off.
