Time to dig out that rusty screwdriver.

Most laptops have removable panels to allow easy access to the hard drive, memory & cooling fan/heatsink.

You need to check if the fan starts up when you turn on the laptop, then check the power connection for it.

Had exact same issue with 1 brought to me a couple weeks back. Had to completely strip it down to get at the fan. And it turned out to be a loose connection.

If you post make and model will see if we cant get the service manual for it, should give a rough idea of where your going to gain access to it

our Matthew has used his noggin for once and done a search on some HP forum. apparently the fan fail is a common fault on his machine and HP are gonna repair free.

Life goes on. Getting stressed with the family. One day they will either start to learn how to use computers or I'll kill them.

Where have you been hiding? Don't go disappearing on us again.

Go to YTube and search for video that shows how to take it apart. Watch the video before you break something.

Just open it most probably the fan is moved. I had a similar problem something got stuck to the fan. and only solution was to open the case
