Hey all. I frequently hear the fan whirling louder than usual, and whenever it slows down, I always notice the following message:

Again and Again? How frequent is that? Mine will only do it every 5th day. Help does have something to say with a few links to more extensive information.

Thanks for the reply, the link that you have provided has clarified my cloud of confusion. I don't really mean "again and again", but it is more towards what you have said (i.e. every 5 days).
Cheers :) |
