Windows 10: bad system config info

Okay I have replaced my fan with the new one and still it doesn't work. What could be the problem? Well it hasn't gotten hot enough for it to turn on but I thought that it turns on full blast when you turn on the laptop?? am I wrong? How can I do test the fan in the bios to see if it works?

 

Dell Inspiron N5050 is my laptop model

 

Test your system, play a game *Wink

 

I played a game and it works to play it. I played 3d armagetronad. Still fan doesn't work.
I am also asking how to fix my issue with the fan at the forum based on the distribution of gnu/linux I am using and seeing if their is a fix within that distro. My heatsink fan is not working. | Trisquel GNU/Linux - Run free! maybe that info could help you find a solution. *Smile

 

Can you hear anything from your laptop?

 

No I don't hear anything and my laptop is hot right now. I also moved my ear close to the fan output and I hear nothing and feel nothing blowing out. Could it be the battery on the motherboard? cause I read that the fan is controlled by the bios is that true?

 

I will be using my old laptop until I get this fixed so I don't damage my laptop any further if I already have. Because I think the 7 bad sectors might be an error because it happened after I upgraded to windows 10. So I will do a fresh install of a new System and see if I still get those errors and if I do I will replace the hard drive.

 

The fan is not working!

If you mean the CMOS battery, certainly not, that only holds data from the BIOS for synchronisation with the time and some other stuff.

With a laptop you won't find anything in the BIOS related to the fan.

How old is your laptop?

 

You are right I checked in bios and there was nothing about fan settings in there. I restored the bios settings to default in bios and that didn't fix the problem either.
I got the laptop in 2012.

 

at least I think I restored the bios setting to default but it was still password protected afterwards. My bios password protects my computer from turning on I have had this setting for years but could that be the issue?

 

I got new information to try from trisquel forums. They said other people had same issues with dell inspiron with fan and said that updating the bios fixed it. I am not sure if I updated it correctly going to try again with this guide below.

I successfully flashed my bios from A04 to A05. Still the fan doesn't work. What should I do now? is there anything other than the fan I can replace? I already replaced the fan with a new one that didn't work... hmmm What's the cheapest place to get your pc repaired?

 

Good luck with finding ons, I can't think of a place where the repairment is cheap. Especially not one that is on the other side of the world for me.

 

I replugged everything in again on my laptop on the inside and now the fan works during bios startup. But it isn't working now. Is that normal? I haven't had my laptop on for long maybe that is why. Now I will try doing the tests on my hardware on my laptop. *Smile

 

My computer is hot and it isn't running. *Sad only runs during bootup.
