I have a asus k501lx laptop, for the pass few months, the fan seems to spin way more then before, so i opened it up few days ago and discovered one of the two fan is not spinning, and after some investigation, i found out it's actually the fan header thats dead, both of the fans are fine. The header not showing up in hwinfo, hardware monitor, msi afterburner as gpu fan(it used to show up there), and speedfan.
I found a place that i can buy laptop fan header and plug, so i can theoretically make a fan splitter. My question is does laptop fan header able to provide enough current to power up two fan? Will plugging in two fan on the same header damage it? Both of the fan are rated at 5v 0.5a.
