Dell Rear Fan Failure Message
computer works perfectly, except that I get the "Alert! Previous fan failure. Press F1 to continue..." It's a minor annoyance, but I'd like to get rid of this alert. I searched online for solutions and what I found was to install a Dell factory fan with a 3-pin connector. This is exactly what I did. I can only assume that if the new fan looks just like the old one, has the exact same label, wire colors and connector that it must dell battery error message be the same. I would rather not disable the warning system in case the new fan fails at a later date. Does anyone know if there is a fix? Thanks!

Creating your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now I was working on a Dell 7010 yesterday after getting a report that the workstation was producing a "humming" noise. Upon arrival, the workstation http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/alert-previous-fan-failure.55998/page-2 booted up normally with no issue and I could detect no humming at all. This unit is new and just installed last month. To be on the safe side, thinking that something my be touching the fan error fan blade, I opened the case and blew out any dust. I then shut the PC down and rebooted. On this boot I got the message: "Alert. Previous fan failure. Press F1 to continue." I booted into Windows and then opened the case. All fans were working normally, including the CPU fan. I rebooted the machine again and entered the BIOS. In the system log, the above message was only message listed. I dell fan error am thinking that this might just be an isolated incident but am looking for any other suggestions as to what might have caused this. Even though this unit is still under warranty, they won't even consider replacing it, or any parts unless there is a total hardware failure.

It's been awhile since I've worked on a Dell, but I believe their diagnostics disc had a fan test. 2 Serrano OP Aaron6387 Feb 4, 2015 at 11:25 UTC You can shut down th machine, and spin the fans by hand to see if they turn freely. You can also clear the log in the BIOS. How old is the Dell? Did you notice any bad caps? 0 Datil OP SteveFL Feb 5, 2015 at 12:23 UTC NetAdminWorld is an IT service provider.

I have been getting the same error message for for several months and last week my computer totally shut down. I tried to restart and can not even get the power on. Any suggestions? Oct 17, 2007 #26 blackcat TS Rookie Clear the event log in the BIOS. I work for dell computers and I thought I would reply so I can help you out free of charge. All you need to do is go to the BIOS, by continually tapping on F2 immediately after you start your computer, then expand all the trees by hitting the right button on your keyboard and find event log and clear it out. I had the same problem and that resolved it. Have a nice day or night. :0| Nov 4, 2007 #27 mailpup TS Special Forces Posts: 6,952 +355 I think another possibility is the CPU has overheated and failed. You probably shouldn't have ignored the message so long. When I got that message on a Dell Dimension 8250 when it was still fairly new, the CPU heatsink fan failed. Dell replaced it under warranty.

Anyway when exchanging the first 2.4 for the 1.8 I plugged the Case Fan's black connector to the white connector on the M.Board next to the CPU's Heatsink, - "only thinking about seeing if I'd gained much speed. When I started up I got a Fan Failure message and upon re-checking I seen I should have leaned forward another foot to see the correct colored receptical. So after that I got the Prev.Fan Failure most every time I'd boot up. - Along the way - I replaced everything in My Dell
