    Hi Guys,

    Got my self in to trouble here .......what happned is my lap was overheating for some weeks so yesterday use my vacume cleaner to put some air in it to clear the cooling vents ( silly & stupid isin't it ) ..and i saw the fans run Anticlockwise when i put the suction in it ...when i started the System the fan Dosent run anymore and it works for few minutes only till it reaches 105 deg cel auto shutdown .......

    now i think the fans Burned or may be the bearings finished ...now i opened this assembly but didnt seem to reach gpu fans .......

    Can anyone diagnose the problem that what i am suppose to do at this stage ....about the kind of repair or the sort of things i should do to get my self out of trouble here

    thanks

    Ok here it is fan stopped couple of days ago ......opened the back cover and inserted thin wire in the fan wings .....made it rotate few times .....then repack the cover ...( opened only the back cover of Ram, HDD, CPU) and somehow manage to do this ...Without knowing it will work or not ......Boxed back and payed also before starting first the fan did not start .....

    the temperature continue to rise continiously ......

    Then suddenly when the temperature Reached 70 deg cel...The thing happned and the fan started.

    Relief (prayed again) , Now the temperature is at cool 48 deg normal and 52 deg at browsing since last 2 hours , Before cleaning it was at 70 deg normal.

    System working like new again ....

    thanks all for help ..
