1. Check if the memory stick has poor contact

First, turn off the power of the fanless industrial computer and unplug the memory stick.

After powering on, observe whether the CPU fan keeps turning. If the fan keeps turning, this may indicate that there is a contact problem with the memory stick.

Use an eraser to wipe the gold fingers of the memory stick to remove possible oxides or dirt.

Reinstall the memory stick into the slot and power it back on.

Check if the CPU fan is working properly. If the problem persists, continue to try other solutions.

2. Reset the motherboard CMOS battery

Turn off the power of the fanless embedded pc and make sure the power cord is disconnected.

Open the case and find the CMOS battery on the motherboard.

Use an appropriate tool to remove the CMOS battery and leave it for a while to allow the motherboard's charge to be completely exhausted.

Reinsert the CMOS battery into the slot and install the case cover.

Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer.

Observe the operation of the CPU fan. If the problem persists, continue to try other solutions.

3. Check the 24-pin power connection terminal

Turn off the power of the industrial computer such as rugged fanless mini pc and disconnect the power cord.

Open the case and find the 24-pin power connection terminal on the motherboard.

Carefully check whether the terminal is deformed or damaged, which may cause poor contact.

If deformation or damage is found, try to gently adjust the terminal to ensure good contact.

Close the case, reconnect the power cord, and turn on the power.

Observe the operation of the CPU fan. If the problem persists after trying the above methods, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service center of SINSMART Industrial Computer for professional technical support.
