Dell Latitude E6410 - Fan not working properly

[Guillaume_2]

Hello, I have an older Dell Latitude E6410 where I recently replaced the Mobo. Some time after replacing the mobo, I realized the fan was not working properly and my cpu was getting hot. I thought it could either be the fan or the fan connector on the mobo, so reordered a new fan (which didnt fix the problem), and subsequently another mobo (also used). I reinstalled everyhting this w-e, it seems things are working, but the fan is still not always running when starting the computer (but will start later), but I sometime get a warning when I start the laptop that I have a fan problem. I have no idea what can be causing the problem, given I have the same issue with 2 differents mobos and 2 different fans? Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

The only thing that would cause that error is an issue with the fan or the motherboard connections. Did you check for a BIOS update? Laptop fans may not always run, they should only spin when needed.
