Since you did not say which fan this is, lets say its your processor cooling fan, if it fails, your processor could end up being fried, the price of a processor replacement is way more than the price of a cooling fan. Replace that fan ASAP. Bruce. Welcome to Bleeping Computer!

second after rebooting, then stoping cold. Since the fan did spin when the computer was turned on it was obviously still good. I flipped the laptop over removed the one screw and plastic panel covering the CPU fan and RAM. Removed and replaced the RAM, and it solved the problem. Ireceivedthe suggestion to start it without memory installed and see if the behavior of fan goes back to normal.(computers do this when no memory is installed).

This is because with rebooting, the programs that have been running simultaneously can have smoother pace to run again. With many programs running at the same time, the computer tends to hang and freezes.

Let me get the basics out of the way.. Gateway M-2626u Laptop. Phoenix Bios 97.05 No more warranty. At startup, I get a 02FA: Main Fan Error. Basically the sensor doesn't like the voltage it is getting so the CPU fan never starts. Initially, the laptop would suddenly just shutoff. It appeared to happen when the laptop had been fan error getting a little warmer and the fan had to run at higher speeds. Eventually after some period of time, I began to see the error on random startups. From time to time it'd appear.. progressively getting worse and worse. Now it's every time, and it takes quite some time to actually get the laptop to turn on. The fan is in perfect working order, and for lack of option I also have a replacement one, both in perfect working order. The connections 02fa fan error are also fine. After some googling around, I have tried many things. I have replaced the fan, I have cleaned everything there is to clean (not that anything was dirty to begin with). Heatsinks, thermal paste, etc.. I have also tried booting the laptop straight through the power. I've tried removing the RAM, and other components. Ultimately I tried this; I wired the cpu fan straight to a DC adapter, and only left the sensor wire connected to the board. That way I know for a fact it is getting enough power. Still, I continue to get the same error. Also, when the laptop does boot it is after many attempts. After the chip kind of starts heating up, the fan starts to kick like it wants to start.. every 10 secs or so or randomly.. after many attempts it would usually start. Lately, it has taken forever for it to finally start. So long in fact I have to let the computer cool down before I can even try again. The last time I booted it was just last night. The fan was spinning quite slow. I checked the temps and on idle it stands at HDD 37C, CPU 65-73C, Core 58-64C. I am pretty helpless at this point. I am assuming this sensor is on the system board, which I can't find a replacement for. I can't find one to buy anywhere. I would appreciate any input on this issue. Thanks! More
