Lenovo T520 Fan Control Warning
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:34 am
Dear All,
I purchased a refurbished Lenovo T520 (i5-2520M, 8gb Ram, Windows 7 Professional, 180SSD). I wanted this specific model because of its wonderful keyboard. The laptop is great, but I think it has a problem with the Fan Control. I have ran an hardware scan in Lenovo Solution Center and everything is ok with the exception of Fan Device. I get an warning (yellow triangle). The Result Code is: WFN001000-WLOCJN which means that no problem was found. But still, why does the warning sign appears? I have checked the CPU temperature with Speed Fan and it says that Core0 and Core1 temperatures are around 65 (and there is a flame sign next to it). Is this temperature normal? Is the Fan Control test indicating an error with the fan? Thank you for your replies.
Result readings of test:
Display Name Fan Device
CPU Temperature 66 °C
CPU Fan Speed 2371 RPM
Diagnostics
Control Test Warning
