Error Fan 90B Spectre x360 Kaby Lake

[JasonBarnett]

The computer was purchased on December 10 2016, and on February 11 2017 I presented the fan system error 90B.
The error appears and disappears, I update the BIOS but it is still happening. The equipment is impeccable, so I discard dirt. Also the fan seems to work, and I have monitored the temperature and it has not changeda, although it has warmed considerably since I bought it. But the error still appears. The equipment has warranty but I buy it in USA and I am from Costa Rica.

I appreciate the information, and read it. The BIOS is upgraded in the latest version. And the pc is as practically new, and do the hardware restart, although as the battery is internal I do not know if it erased all the information. In tests the temperature although it goes up to 99 degrees Celsius a few seconds, the fan starts to operate and lowers the temperature until it is stable at 88 or less in tests of performance with the processor at 95%. Both fans work, but the error continues to appear, sporadically.

Hi David,

I got the laptop repaired which solved the problem but after 3 weeks its giving me the same error again. SO frustrating as this is a brandnew unit which cost me lots.

Thanks for post @Prasanga,

I understand that you are getting a Fan error 90B after getting the computer serviced, is that right?

Not to worry, I will be glad to assist you. However, would like more information to be able to assist you better.

May I know where the computer serviced, was it at an HP Service center or third party?

Recommend you run HP Support Assistant to update BIOS and other drivers. Click here for assistance. 

Once all the drivers are updated, please run the system test again. Click here. 

Keep me posted.

Updating BIOS doensn't solve the problem. 

Yes it was sercviced through HP Australia (I live in Aus) who sent it to Singapore for service. I bought the unit in US in February and have only been able to use it properly for 4-5 weeks. I'm now trying to return it.

So disspointed. This is my first HP laptop (so called premium range), and definetely the last.  I wouldn't recommend this model to anyone SPECTRE X360 13‐AC023DX.
