Inspiron 15 5547 Fan Issue
Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop, model number 5547. A couple of days ago I noticed that the fan is not spinning by looking at the back of the laptop. So I opened up the case and cleaned the fan. There was a lot of dust stuck there which I cleaned it out and also used a blower to dish out the dust stuck within.
After putting everything back, the fan still isn't spinning. I read a lot of forums about this. Most suggest that the fan is gone and I should replace it. While in some forums I read that it can be a software (Windows) issue as well.
I did the Diagnostic test at bootup (F12), the test said everything is alright and passed. I installed SpeedFan and a few other tools. Most of them show the Fan Speed at 0 RPM.
What should I do? Should I replace the fan or is there any Windows related thing that I should be doing?
Thanks.

Hi, I had similar issues, I bought a new fan that spins on start up but then stops and won't come back on.
Any tips on how to manually turn it on
