Hello,
I got quite a number of R61/i/e 15,4" units that I'm trying to reanimate (13 to be precise). However, I got stuck at lucky #7 - no matter what kind of fan I plug in, I'm getting a constant "fan error" message - and it turns off before entering the BIOS and/or loading the system.
Should be mobo problem or what?

Re: R61e fan error issue
Try cleaning the connector on the planar with alcohol, then dry it out with compressed air. If none of this helps, it's most likely to be a motherboard issue, possibly a blown fuse.wujstefan wrote: Should be mobo problem or what?
Good luck.

Re: R61e fan error issue
Unfortunately it was a motherboard issue.
Oh well. Kissed a trash bin. Anyone cares for free plastics for a R61i 15,4"?
