The Jetson Nano won't power on because the fan isn't working

[yzy870]

I want to continue my project, but when I plug in the power cord, the green power indicator light comes on, but the fan doesn’t turn on. After a while, the power indicator light goes out (I suspect the computer overheated and tripped). Therefore, I can’t force it to boot using the flash memory. Has anyone had a similar experience and can help me?

Are you using Jetson Nano or Orin Nano?

Which JetPack SW?

Hi,

Please place the device in recovery mode and perform a full flash using the SDK Manager.

Thank you.

I’ve tried several times, but the flashing process failed. However, something strange happened: initially, the power indicator light didn’t light up when I plugged in the power cord, but it suddenly turned on halfway through the flashing process.

I just re-downloaded the SD card image file and the computer booted up successfully! Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
