Product: HP G4 250
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)


I have an issue with this laptop; at boot up there is a message stating <the system has detected that  a cooling fan is not working correctly>

 

Message advises that operation is not recommended, and may cause unpredictable behaviour that could result in system shutdown, data loss or system damage.  The system will shutdown in 15 seconds. 

 

To prevent shutdown and continue operation press the enter key.

 

All well and good, except I received this error message for the first time 6 months ago and when I disassembled the laptop to investigate (also wanted to add additional ram and this is one of those laptops where they have to be opened to increase ram, no cover to remove to gain access)  I was SHOCKED to find that there was no cooling fan installed!! 

 

So where do I go from here?
