Fan stopped working Dell inspiron 15 5570
Dell Inspiron 15 5570 8th gen i7 core.
2018 model. its not really old and I've only had a year but the warranty expired a couple months ago and then the fan stopped working after making very loud noise I tried to reboot and then I got that error message saying its not functioning properly the bottom got pretty warm last time I checked on it. I haven't turned it on anymore.
I'm a music producer so a lot of heavy usage when I'm working. But this is too soon for any problems, spent alot of money on this thing.
What's the best way to fix this????!!!!

Well, if the fan(s) have stopped working, then the only thing to do is replace them.
If the laptop is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer about a repair/replacement. If it isn't under warranty any longer, then you can try and do the work yourself (if you feel comfortable doing it) or you can take it to someone who can do the repair for you.

A little background about me...I've built a couple hundred systems in my lifetime, so I know a little about PCs Mine was a Inspiron 15 7572...fan was noisy so I bought a Dell replacement fan. Now the fan won't work at all. Same situation here: warranty just expired. Nobody at dell wanted to help, they just kept transferring me to the extended warranty sales department. After doing some testing I found that the connector had power, diagnostics say everythings OK, but fan is spinning at 0 rpm. I finally get to talk to a technician at the repair department who tells me that my situation is unusual and most likely some sort of fan controller on the Mobo. They promised to test it and advised me to be prepared for a Motherboard replacement ($500) give or take. Here is where things get interesting... After replacing my notebook with a non-Dell alternative I decided to do a factory reset on the Inspiron 7572, basically a fresh Windows install. To my surprise the fan started spinning normally as soon as I started the install process. I know I'm not the only one out there that has fan issues, and I don't believe for a minute that my situation is unusual. Who knows how many customers have fallen victim to this Scam. Buyer Beware !!!!!
