I just opened my mbp to fix a few things. When I put it back together and ran the hardware test it reported problems with the right fan. After a few tries to get it to run the computer wont start at all. I se to possible answers:

1) Cant start computer since fan is completely disconnected

2) Something more serious, like logic board failure.

Obviously I need to know whether the computer is supposed to start at all missing one fan.

I believe I've started mine up with the right fan disconnected before. It just makes the left fan run at full speed.
