Hi guys,
I inherited this:
Dimension 9200
[Admin NOTE: Service tag removed per TOU policy]
Shows XPS 410 on front
From a friend that moved out of town. He took the h/d from it. So I just got a 1TB h/d upgraded to 4G, and intend to use this as an Ubuntu box to learn from.
When she powers up, the POST shows:
Alert! CPU fan failure.
Alert! Rear fan failure.
Alert! Air temperature sensor not detected
The 1, 2 and 3 light, and she slowly builds up to sounding like a turbine spooling up to high speed
Downloaded the Hardware Diagnostics v1228.0, ran on the fans, and get this error code:
error code 3700:011b on both fans
Upgraded to the latest bios I could find (2.5.3) and actually removed the heat sink and fan and with air can blue the interior out, still get the same results.
She will run, and there doesn't seem to be any other issues. I'm thinking though if I want to stream audio / video with this, I would have to overpower the fan's high speed to hear anything.
Hope you guys can help, this is turning into a disappointment.
Ron V.
