Hi Len,
thank you for your detailed answer. I already tried to lower the
temperatur point to see if the cooler starts working. It happens that my
fan does not react to my changes at all. Even If I set up 40C as the
point to start cooling the fan is still being activated at 45C. So I
presume you are right with your suspicion that there is a non
configurable hardware device playing a part. I checked my BIOS but found
nothing related to deal with temperatur issues.
Since this starts getting a serious problem (simple office work lets the
fan go on and off giving me a hard time) I'll have a look at the
decompiled DSDT. However, my knowledge regarding this is small, so is
there anybody who could help me with the dsdt if I sent it per email?

thanx a lot, Mirco
