Hello I have a Blade 15 Base 2018 and the CPU fan (fan on right side when looking at the keyboard) does not turn on. I have tried ramping up the fan speed on synapse but only the GPU fan runs. I’ve also tried plugging the GPU fan into the CPU fan slot and that doesn’t work as well. Is there other software solutions that I could try to get the fan to work again?
I only noticed a performance change the last 2 days while playing Valorant and the FPS was going up and down about 2 or 3 times a second. The CPU temperature goes up to 90C so I checked the fan and that’s when I noticed that the CPU fan is not running at all.
There is no build up and the fan spins freely when spun by hand.
Is this a mother board issue? I really like this laptop and would hate to lose it like this. Any help is appreciated.
