HP Recommended
Product: HP Probook 430 G3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

This morning I started my Hp Probook 430 G3 with the Post error (yesterday evening, no problem at all): 

POST Error

The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly. 

Continued opertion is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behavior that could result in data loss or possible system damage. The system will shut dow in 15 seconds. To prevent shutdown and continue operation, press the enter key now. 

System Fan (90B)

For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

 

So, I went to the website I followed the steps:

1. Remove dust: I did this with an airblower multiple times. Laptop is not covered with anything and is placed on a desk. 

2. Hard reset: by removing the battery

3. Downloaded Hp Support Assistent and updated everything .

 

Unfortunately, nothing worked. However, when the error appears and I press Enter, I can use my laptop without any defaults. But as the error says, this can cause damage.  Now, my question is, what to do next? 

Laptop was purchased in August 2016, and warranty has expired. 

Is it still worth having the laptop repaired somewhere by replacing the system fan or is this a matter of the laptop being 3 years old and it's time for a new one?

Second question, I am currently using the laptop simply by ignoring the error and pressing Enter. Any idea what time I can keep doing this before the laptop really fails?

 

Have already called HP customer service but waiting time is very long. Hope to get help from someone soon! Thanks in advance.
