    I have a m570u/5760 and i think I might need a new fan.

    The fans spin only when I toggle the max fan speed button function. If I toggle it off the fans don't move at all.

    Anyone experience this before? What could be the reason that happens? Is the fan broken? Is there a loose connector? Or could it be mobo related? If it is the connector, where is that located? Is there a diagram/manual? I don't have any fan control software, so I don't think it's a software issue.

    If it's something I can't fix, where can I buy a new fan, ebay? Also is there a manual on taking the fan out?

    I've had that happen twice on my P151HM1/NP8130 and a full shutdown fixed it both times, you've probably tried that already but thought I'd mention it anyway.
