I did all the same steps. I downloaded the file. I wrote it to the SD card, but then when I go to start it up, I just get this loading screen that lasted about an hour before I just shut it down.

What am I doing wrong here?

As the other commenters said, “district” was an autocorrect typo. I meant distro/distrubution.

I can’t speak to what’s wrong with the fan, but if you use imager and write a supported distribution to the sd card, you can see if the fan works again, and/or try troubleshooting again.

Also, consider that it could be a hardware issue. The fan could just be dead. Hardware fails, and you should try to rule that out.
