I repasted my dad's laptop and now the fan won't spin unless I run Asus fan diagnostic tool, the fans reach its maximum rpm and the diagnostic tool doesn't find any problem. But when I'm not running the diagnostic, the fans would sit at 0 rpm. The CPU temp sits around 50-60°C after 10 minutes of general tasks with no fans spinning. I did not change any original components, no components seems to be damaged and I use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for the thermal compound. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
  • Laptop ASUS ZENBOOK DUO UX481F
  • Old laptop's battery has been swapped with a new one *Might be not original**Old battery is dead**Hope this help

additional information:
  • fan doesn't seem to spin during boot, only while running diagnostic
  • I've tried G-Helper but the fan still doesn't want to spin
