Hi,
First of all: I know that I have been having a problem with my HP Laptop Battery, and with its cooling Fan.
However, I am now wondering what detected this error below as long as it was shown even before the notification saying 'the press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' Thus, if the BIOS detected that there was a problem with the HP Battery storage', then this error should have been listed after 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' was passed.
'HP Battery Alert: The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.'
That alert lasted about 15 seconds, and then the 'press 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' is shown.
Next: This is error below showed me::
'The system didn't detect that a cooling fan is operating correctly'
I know that BIOS detected that a problem with 'Cooling Fan' since the Alert of error was shown after passing 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.'
Any comments would be highly appreciated

Thanks a lot,
Altouhg I insist on saying that my fan doesn't have any metal parts (it is entirely platice. Heat sink has metal parts), why have you insist on telling me ' Does any part of the "thermal silver tape" that was torn make contact / stick to any metal part of the fan or just the plastic area on the fan?
Anyhow, the part of the "thermal silver tape" that was torn doesn't make contact / stick to any metal part of the fan. However, It just makes contact/stick to the plastic area on the fan.
Could you please reply to my other points? I am very upset since my country Yemen is out of commerce.
I don't know where to find thermal silver tape?
Since it does not make any contact with metal on the fan as long as you mount the fan so that it not loose or vibrate you should be ok without the tape.
3- What requirements are needed to replace a fan? I know these requirements below::
a couple small screws, some copper clips and some thermal silver tape, and **** Isopropyl Alcohol.****
However, What else is involved I don't know?
Since you removed the old fan the mounting of the new fan should involve the same assembly / mounting process only in reverse of when you removed the fan.
Also, What is cloth or oily film that does not leave any lint ?
Lint free cloth: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/l/lint-free-cloth.htm
Even a well used/worn cotton shirt (White in color) freshly washed should be fine.
Thanks a lot,
Could you please understand me?
First of all: I have been encountering this problem since December, 2014, and I still don't even find a new fan/heatsink assembly which can be shipped to me.
My questions are:
1- I only found a single fan in the local Yemeni market with $50, and that fan can be boted/mounted into my heatsink well since it is the same size of my old fan. However, I don't know if it would solve the problem or not, and it is sold for $50, if not solve the problem, the the seller will not refund my money since he said it will be compatilbe with my laptop, but if didn't solve the problem, no refund would be. Also, 1- HP store doesn't ship to my country Yemen at all. As a result, I am very stumbled by how to go ahead/proceed?
2- When playing two Videos on Youtube.com, then the CPU temperatures are very high, although the load is shown about 50% in the core temp.
Sometimes the CPU temperatures drop into(shown below), although the same work I was doing on my computer (the videos are playing at Youtube.com, and the same websites) when taken the first screen shot.
Could you please reply to me to finish this issue forever?
