My boyfriend replaced the cooling fan for his Dell laptop, now he receives a caps lock error code upon start up, though I don’t believe it will start up. Is there a way to fix this? How do we fix it?

Terry Storie,

I need to know how to install the cooling fan in a Dell latitude…”C-600″, instead of the D-600

You'll find laptop disassembly instructions in Dell Latitude C600/C500 Series Service Manual

Very useful, fan is now replaced, but I ran into another problem. The display hinges are now locked so that the display is in the vertical position. Any hints gratefully received
Thanks, Jerry

Great tutorial. It was of great help to me. I have just cleansed my laptop’s fan and it now runs much more quiet.

THANK YOU.

kareem,

i have the same dell d600 that works fine except the fact that the heatsink fan is not working! i already cleaned up the dust from the fan and heatsink and put a thermal glue and it didn’t fix the problem, then i replaced the fan with another one that i got from a broken dell D600 and i had the same result!! so is there any thing else that could possibly cause this problem? any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Not sure 100% but if another known good fan doesn’t work, there must be a problem with the motherboard. Apparently the motherboard cannot control the fan properly. Just a guess.

I think is a Dell design by default. The fan will spin up when needed but not run all the time. I have found some software via a google search that allows the fan to run at full speed all the time, so far it has dropped my temp by 10 degrees and counting.
