My laptop started getting hot recently. There is no dust issue. The
fan just doesn't seem to start at all.
I tried to use lm_sensors and sensor-detect, but it's not detecting
any sensors. I tried to recompile the kernel, enabling
all the sensors but no luck. using acpi woks in reporting some values:
acpi -V
Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 58.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 103.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 105.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 10
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 7

I am not very familiar with the kernel config related to thermal, so I
don't know exactly what other info I need to provide. If I am missing
something, please ask.
