When starting my laptop the following message appears:
"the system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly"
I don't hear any fan noise either. Does this necessarily have to be a mechanical problem or can a driver also be broken? What could I do as a layman?
Will be mechanical. Have you cleaned it before?
No, can I do it myself?
Clear. Screw on where the fan is and get the dust out of there
Unscrew and replace. It's not that complicated, but the right fan could be expensive.
You could try opening it up and cleaning it up. Make sure that the fan does not move, otherwise you run the risk of wrecking the laptop. If that doesn't work, I would take him to a Dr. Bring. An exchange shouldn't be too expensive. As a layperson, I would keep my hands off an independent exchange.
