TPfc.62 new sensor just appeared

#1 Post by Paul Unger » Thu Apr 10, 2014 7:16 pm

I've been running TPfc.62 on my X201 for about three years. I just got a new battery. I have run it through one cycle and am halfway through a second (~ 8 hours as it's a 9 cell battery). Anyway, just now the fan ramped up to 5500 rpm. A new 'sensor' has shown up in TPfc: 2 aps 98*C (0x79). I found some info about aps (0x79) at thinkwiki.

Can anyone confirm whether aps is a battery related sensor? And why it might be reporting such a high reading? Does it indicate a problem with the battery?

If I switch to BIOS in TPfc, the fan drops from 5500 rpm to 1960 (cpu is reporting ~ 50*C). So it seems the BIOS is ignoring the aps temperature reading. Is it safe for me to add it to the 'ignore list' in TPfc?

Thanks for any help,

Paul

APS is the accelerometer for the Active Protection System, as far as I know.
