Ok my dads had his clunky inspiron 1100 for a while now, last week it started to shutdown and give temp warning when powered back on, so i checked and the cpu fan wasnt working.
of course, i found a replacement and installed it....and have the same problem. is there a way i can test to see if the connection on the mobo itself is dead? (i have a voltmeter, or rather, my father does, im not likely to know how to use it outside of testing for continuity)
i may just have *2* dead fans, but i dont want to buy a 3rd if i cant confirm it, and this thing isnt worth paying for a repair unless its gonna cost 50 or 60 bucks tops.
thanks
