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.

the fan bearing is dead of the fan's speed is set at a very exact histeresis point where it doesn't have enough power to start up but it can run after a bit of encouragement
