Dear Forum members, I'm dealing with a Lenovo L430 that doesn't work properly. It gives a fan error and then does not boot. The fan does run for a little bit, but stops after the fan error. The fan has been replaced, but the problem persists.
From other thinkpad fan error topics (I read many), I concluded that the fuse of the fan could be the cause. Therefore, I want to measure the fuse and see if it's working correctly. However, I cannot locate the fuse. Does anybody have the fuse schematic of the L430 (or L530 which has the same motherboard)? Or does anybody know the right number of the fuse?
I tried looking for 2A/32V fuses (these were the specs of the fuse on most other thinkpads) on the board, but there don't seem to be any. Does the L430 even have this fan fuse? Is there another workaround to this problem?
I took the motherboard out of the laptop, in case this helps someone identify the location of the fuse, here are the pictures:
If anything is unclear please let me know, I'll try and update my post as good as possible. Thanks in advance for any help.
