I have got my R52 screwed up like hell. The fan refused to be turned on. I got no other software to switch it off but it automatically switch itself off. Now i cannot turn it on. I download shimmodax fan software and the fan still cannot be on. How to on the fan? I cannot use my laptop so i am typing from my desktop. I scared the mama board got roasted by the heat. Please help.

How did you know that it was switched off and is not defective?

I have used a testpan and check for electric voltage and it lights up red. No electric in my fan. What should i do now. My thinkpad is running fine except the fan issue.

First very important question which operating system your using

If your running Linux, fan frequntly starts throwing heat because some Linux distro's still dont support good ACPI support for laptops thus processor gets heat up.
