Hello,
About a week ago my son dropped my p-7811fx notebook and now the gpu fan wont come on, causing my computer to overheat frequently. I am confident I can fix it but i can't find a guide for disassembling the notebook in order to get to the gpu. If someone knows where i can find a tutorial or guide it would be very helpful.
 
Check whether the fan is working(spins) or not.
This can be difficult, since we don't know for sure which component is broke...
