Hi! Not posted in a while but i need your help desperately. I got given a laptop. The model is an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo K7600. The cpu fan doesnt spin - apart from that the laptop is perfect.

Therefore it overheats - but i definately know that the cpu hasnt fried yet as it still live cd boots linux when i boot on a cold morning lol.

So, i located a similar fan, which the guy said worked (i dont know if it ever did but i assume it does) and it wont spin either. So i think there could be an underlying problem, why might power not be getting to the small 3 pin fan connector. This is most odd,

I am at a loss of what to do next, any ideas?
