I just screwed my laptop back together after replacing the thermal paste.I booted into windows like normal and launched valley benchmark and hw monitor to check my new temps.
I started the benchmark and i saw that the temps went up pretty fast, so i checked to see if the fan was spinning. It wasn't.
I tried restarting many times, but nothing worked. I noticed when looking at the fan while booting it looked like it tried to spin up, but couldn't make it.
So i unscrewed the laptop again and tried connecting the fan power to a 5v usb. The fan started spinning.
Do you think there is something wrong with the mb fan connector?
Or something wrong with the third pin on the connector?
Hmm, i'm confused. It just randomly started spinning again.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
