My laptop's CPU cooling fan has stopped working. I am worried there are other issues besides just the fan at this point. If I'm looking at repairing more than the fan, I would rather just buy a desktop...
As a note, while it was on it had 100% memory and 100% disc space being used. The CPU however was only at about 50%. I was playing an MMORPG called LOTRO, and I had google chrome open at the same time. The computer can normally handle running both programs at the same time, but I was experiencing a lot of lag today. My internet connection was nominal, my cell phones were connected to the same network no problem.
So, is there any way that I can diagnose if there are other problems with my laptop other than the fan not working? I do not want to open the unit, I'm really hoping there is a different way to diagnose any possible issues with the laptop. I have emailed the manufacturer to see whether or not I am within my warranty, but it is possible I am not covered.
