Laptop BIOS Reports "Fan Error"

A laptop computer of mine suddenly reports "Fan Error" during boot with a loud beep. One solution is obviously to replace the fan assembly. In this particular case, I found out that when I reapplied the thermal paste, and the "Fan Error" went away.

If you encounter this problem and happen to have some thermal paste with you, perhaps, you should try this method first. By the way, drug store-sold 91% Isopropyl Alcohol is excellent for removing old thermal paste.
