Solved! laptop fan not working properly

[nagazai]

altho it can spin fast enough, its just not spinning. it spin really fast when i turn it on, but slow down later and then goes intermittent. its not drivers, its not dirty, its clean and it has been working for over a year without problem. the laptop is kinda old, 6 years already, it could be just old. just making sure that isnt something else

Sounds like you just need a new fan. They don't last forever.
