![]() It is a common problem with some fans, especially with some companies with very specific hardware (Dell is known to produce very specific hardware). Since it was not visible too much, it was difficult to find. With a lot of pain, I noticed that it was the cats hairs or something like that, that blocked the fan. Once, I had to repair a PC with a fan which wouldn't even work. Sometimes, a fan can even stop working because of dust. If the fan is working, but not at 100% speed, it's very probably because of the dust. I wouldn't be against getting a new one since this one is old, but I'd rather pay $10 for a new fan and replace it if that'll do the trick.Ĭleaning the fans is really the first thing to do. Well, my left fan just kicked in, so I better submit this before the laptop shuts down. I'm not even sure how to replace it if that'll fix the problem. So I can't even tell if the fan just needs some help, or if it's dead, or really what the story is. HWMonitor, SpeedFan, hmonitor, I8KFANGUI won't install - driver problem. So to diagnose if the fan is completely dead, I've tried a couple fan monitoring programs - none whatsoever can detect any fan. The left fan (underneath the ESC key) works fine, but it's the fan on the right side giving me trouble. Long story short, one of the fans has decided it didn't want to work anymore, or at least work to its full capacity on any regular basis. It's 3 or 4 years old now and way out of warranty.
