I recently was given a D620 from a friend that has Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on it.. one problem it has is that the fan doesn't seem to be working and it just overheats.
Whenever I turn the laptop on the fan would spin for a few seconds or so and then stop, the fan worked for a second and stopped when using a command with something called i8kutils.
Anyone have an Idea on what may be causing this?
The laptop is also clean on the inside, I didn't remove the fan but I get enough room to clean it.
I don't have the option right now to remove the fan and doing so would mean removing the laptops heatsink.
Dell Latitude D620
1.5gb DDR2 ram
Geniune Intel CPU T2300 @ 1.66 GHz
Intel(r) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2

Thanks in advance.
