Quick Links: Fan Detect Failure
Fan Detect Failure
My week began normally, however, Monday afternoon saw two interesting changes in the behaviour of my PC: One, it took increasingly longer to shutdown and two, its performance felt sluggish. However, as a big update had just landed, I thought nothing of both, and carried on.
Possibly, not what I should have done, as, after enjoying my Figure Skating session at Guildford Spectrum Ice Rink, and, having an inspiring Piano Lesson I booted up my PC to be greeted with it being stuck in a Boot Loop.
After several forced restarts, I received a white screen informing me of a "CPU Fan Detect Failure". Strange, I thought, as it is only a year and a half old. Still, these things do randomly happen, don't they?
Long story short, a few days later a qualified technician arrived to replace the fan. Although both my iPad Pro and, Samsung S25 Ultra proved critical in allowing me to continue to function for most tasks, sadly, not for Web Development as I require the advanced functionality of a full desktop editor to code enhancements to Baldi's Home on the Web.
The moral of my week? Although I have most files stored in various Cloud Drives, I now also have a backup Laptop configured to the same specifications on standby.
