Good day,

So i got this Acer Aspire E1-571G Notebook for free but the fan isnt spinning so the cpu overheats to 80C degrees and throttles to 1ghz which is not nice.

So how do i solve this? is there any solution that wouldn't involve me tearing down the laptop?
Also the bios has a password and i can't get into it. could this be the problem?
i just reinstalled a fresh windows 7.1 to the laptop.
also i tried downloading speedfan it had no fan percentages to change
 
Well i can see from the outsdie that there isnt much dusk there and i could use come canned air to blow it out.
if that does no good then i'll replace the fan.
thanks for the help.
although i would appreciate if someone helped me with the bios
