512 - rear chassis fan not detected at HP 21-h010la

[ademendieta]

Im trying to solve this issue but I didn't find anything that helps me with this specific model.  When I turn on the computer I got  the followin error BIOS message: 512 - rear chassis fan not detected, so I have to press F1 to boot.

Any change was made to the computer, so why it is appearing?  It must be a hardware issue with the fan?  Do I need to replace it?

I saw some posts saying that it can be changed just modifying the settings at the BIOS, but the BIOS doesn't have any option to specify the fan's speed.   I believe that the fan is working as the computer temperature seems to be ok.

Also, this message does not appear always, but is frequent I'm getting it.. How can I solve it?   

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the instructions.  I did that and update the software but the issue persists.  I'm still getting the fan error at the BIOS screen. 

What else I must check?

Thaks for your support.
