Describe the bug

After the laptop was turned off for a while, the system shows a warning on boot "Fans not detected". But the fans are clearly working when booting though the error and are also detected in the BIOS menu.

Interestingly, booting "warm", so restarting the PC within a shorter time after shutdown does not trigger the error for me, maybe Windows does some fast startup magic or some charge/state is lost if the laptop is turned off for a long time.

I am in a long E-Mail chain with support and already got one mainboard replacement and then a full core laptop replacement and the error still shows up! All memtests pass, never got any crash whatsoever once the system was up and running.

This seems to be related to the unsolved #131 , but here for the Ryzen AI series. Also here is another case:

What are the chances this is firmware related? Battery, RAM? I'd be very happy to find answers here!

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Boot cold.
  2. Get error.
