I would like to know how to test laptop after I replaced the cooling fan. I have no power Can the motherboard be tested and how is that done.
 
Turn on the laptop and check if fan is running ? It will turn itself off if the temps get too high but you should have several minutes to test
 


I get nothing I think the motherboard is bad but i need to find a test to prove that. so that the client will replace the motherboard.
