Hello,
Thanks for this !
When assembling again, I noticed that at the contact between the micro-processor and the cooler the thermal paste there was a very small amount of thermal paste.
I had none to add, therefore I reassembled as is.
After starting the machine again I note that the cooling fan never stops.
I suggest that at reassembling should thermal paste added.
