replacing fan for my A22e

[bchai]

Hi all,

As i have posted for the shutting down problem to my laptop, I now nitice that the fan is not on at all. Therefore I suspect my problem is overheat related. Any one who can tell me how to tell if the fan is dead or not? any tests that can be used?

I am looking for some suggestions, should I open up my machine and clean it or should i just get the parts and replace it after all (cost about £22)?

Greatly appreciate any helps and suggestions.
