Error Code M1001 (Fan Malfunction)
I have an E6510 laptop that recently started giving me an Error M1001 - fan malfunction on start up. I get this message only 1 in 4 or 5 times of boot. I am always able to hit F1 and continue the boot. Recently, I replaced the HD with a new 1 TB drive. The laptop came with Windows Vista installed originally but I have replaced this with Windows 7. The laptop has an i7 Intel Core.
I have opened the chassis and cleaned the air vents and replaced fan with a brand new fan assembly. I also cleaned and reapplied heat sink thermal grease. The computer works fine but I still get the Error M1001 message sometimes during boot in the morning.
I would appreciate any help or advice about solving this issue.
Thanks.

You can try going into the BIOS/setup and clear the System Logs and see if that makes any difference. I would also suggest updating the BIOS:

You could also try running the diagnostics (hold down the Fn key whilst powering the system on) to see if it picks up any errors.
If the message still appears, the only thing left is to replace the motherboard.

Download the service manual here - http://dell.to/2qZ05Jr - open the chassis and clean the air vents and fan assembly with a small vacuum cleaner or a can of compressed air. Reapply the thermal grease for the heatsink.
If the overheating persists, then replace the fan assembly.
