Z Series ThinkPad Laptops

Hello,

while booting the fan works fine for 3-5 second, but then it suddenly stops and i get a "fan error" message and the system shuts down. i cleaned the fan and look for any obstacles - but with no success. Once (several tries) the fan start working just shortly after the fan error message appeared, but the system shutted down too.

TIA

Steve

Your first avenue of problem resolution is to get a new fan, if that don't work then the motherboard is the ultimate culprit of your problem, there is not much other way of solving your hardware problem.

Hi thanks for your answer. It's working again - all of a sudden. Fan works pretty well, I' m now controlling it with tp fan control.
