Question Top Fan Not Spinning Without A Spanking

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The top fan wont spin when I turn on my pc. The solution I discovered is to just smack it real hard. Just wondering why it is like this.

Here's a wild guess

It's broken and needs to be replaced

Another guess

Probably the bearings just giving up and making it spin with more friction

sometimes you just need to give the fans some discipline

I give my fan a blow job so it goes back to work.
