XPS 15 7590 BIOS 1.21.0 Video Fan error message while booting

XPS 15 7590

XPS 15 7590

Has anyone else had the following issue since upgrading the BIOS to 1.21.0?

It looks like they've introduced a video fan check during boot. Laptops obviously don't have video fans and so the check fails and displays an error (see below - I've blanked out my service code btw). It also delays booting while it's trying to test the non-existent fan, which is a pain. I've had to revert to 1.20.0 for the time being.

Your laptop has two fans:

  • one for the CPU, the left-side fan
  • one for the GPU (a.k.a. video), the right-side fan

You may intentionally run Dell Diagnostics to confirm that error:
Immediately after pressing the power button to turn on the laptop (or after clicking the Reboot command), press and hold F12 to enter the One Time Boot Menu, select Diagnostics and press Enter. The Dell Diagnostics will test major hardware components. Choose to run the extended tests.

The error code you quoted leads to this information:

SupportAssist Pre-Boot System Performance Check

Needs attention
Error Code: 511
Description: Fan is not responding

Recommended action

Needs Attention.
The diagnostics indicate that you may be experiencing an issue with the system fan.
  • Inspect the computer for clogged or obstructed air vents and clean the vents and fans for excess lint, dust or debris.
  • Please update BIOS. Restart your computer and rerun the PSA diagnostics.

 

If you need to replace the fan, Parts-People has it in stock.

The system does have both CPU and GPU fans --- it looks like one of has failed.

Yes, you're correct. The right-hand fan connector had popped out slightly or wasn't making a solid connection. Re-seated now and problem solved! Thanks.
