dell latitude e6430 fail psa v4236 error 2000:0511. fan the (processor fan) fan failed to respond correctly
My laptop's CPU cooler (fan) started making noise. I bought a CPU (fan) cooler, but there was no number written on it, they said it was compatible with the e6430 laptop. I installed the cooler. When it starts to warm up, it starts working every 2 seconds. It keeps running every 2 seconds. When it gets too hot, the laptop starts working continuously and cooling down. I wonder what's the problem? Is the new cooler I bought incompatible? Please help

Very likely that the fan is not accepted by BIOS. Was it a compatible part, only you could tell. Most coolers offers are complete units with heatsink and fan. You must compare the new cooler to match with your original part prior to replacement.
Take note that there are different heatsinks, for integrated graphics and with discrete graphics. The replacement process would be benefit to apply new thermal paste, and pads. It's important to tighten heatsink screws in order to apply even pressure of heatsink surface for optimal cooling.
