Error 02F9 "Thermal sensor" at Startup

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has a solution to resolve this problem:
On startup (after the HP logo), the following message appears:
ERROR 02F9: "Thermal Sensor Error", and I have to press the F1 key to continue.
I think it is a temperature issue (because it is very hot), however, when I start the computer cold, I still get the same message.
So I have two questions:
_What remedy is there?
_And how can I remove this message, if possible? It seems to me that I need to go into the BIOS, and that's not my strong point.
If someone can help me, it would be great, as I have already asked this question on this same forum and I only received one reply suggesting that I use a can of air, but that was not conclusive.

For your information, I will provide the details of my laptop:
LIFEBOOK T4010D (FUJITSU-SIEMENS).

Thank you in advance.
Gilles

by directing it very close to the fan's vents, it can start by blowing with the PC off, then turn it on and blow a little more, sometimes it just takes a little...
Good luck,

Best regards,

P.S.: you need to blow at the ends of the grid, in order to give it momentum in both directions!

Good evening...

Indeed, in the BIOS, there should be, depending on the BIOS, a setting for the temperature alarm... but this may avoid the message, but in no way will it prevent the likely breakdown if it is very hot!
Is the fan working, and if so, often?

><best regards, @+

Hi,

It's probably a real hardware issue. You shouldn't just dismiss the alert; you need to address the problem. The fan is no longer working or it is clogged and has become useless. So cleaning or replacing the fan.

I think it comes from the fan since I can't hear it spinning.
I searched Google to find a disassembly or repair manual for the laptop (to possibly take it apart), but I didn't find anything. Additionally, I'm not very proficient in English, which limits my searches.
But if you could help me do the manipulation in the BIOS, that would at least be something, even if it doesn't solve anything.
The BIOS is Phoenix.
Thank you.

Well, in my opinion, it would be better not to change these values which, at least, will make the PC shut down BEFORE it crashes completely... if you insist, you need to enter the BIOS and find a tab like "security"... you have to open a bit of everything, I don't know exactly where it is... then change the extreme values, but personally, I wouldn't do it: a message is less annoying than a failure that could potentially be serious!
Otherwise, a can of compressed air directed wisely at the fan, even with a brief disassembly, can do wonders... that's what I would do!
Good luck,

Best regards,
See you!

Alright, I will follow your advice,
Since it's a 5-year-old laptop, I don't want to spend any money on it, so I was thinking of finding a solution other than taking it for repair.
Anyway, thanks for your advice, I will go buy an air can and we'll see how it goes.
Gilles.
