Need help. I’m currently fixing an old laptop, the HDD got rekt so I will need to use a lightweight linux distro for now. The fan starts like normal on boot up but just stops spinning 5-10 seconds later and stays like that. I even tested the fan with an alternative power source and it spun like normal. Any solutions?
Is the laptop overheating or are you just concerned it’s not spinning?
No, it literally stops spinning.
