So I noticed that the laptop overheats after a short while and powers off. Turns out it’s because the fan is not spinning at all. I disassembled the laptop completely and checked the connector and the solder under the sticker, and it looks fine.
For context: the adapter for the laptop has been damaged due to what I suspect to have been a power surge, not sure if this may or may not have damaged it.
I’m not planning to use the laptop for any huge loads so any tips on how I can keep the laptop cool enough to function are appreciated too.
