I did that. There isn't an exact listing for a fan test just Fan Thermal and Fan Speed. I checked that and passed. Just shut off and put on again and still same error. Fan needs to be cleaned and I am not skilled to do that. Just looking for help. Nearest HP repair is 3 hours from me.

Hello @wyndeway
You can check the fan using the instructions in the --->>> Maintenance and Service Guide
Ask a friend/acquaintance/neighbor who is good with computers or technology. Either the power plug of the fan has come loose or the fan is blocked by dirt/dust.
Good luck
