Hey, I just purchased a new CPU fan for my Lenovo Y560p laptop and it will not spin. I used SpeedFan and noticed that it was overheating and checked the fan to see if it was spinning and it wasn't. I plugged my old fan back in and it started spinning and cooling immediately. There seems to be no physical issues with the new fan and the blades spin freely and I also cleaned out any dust inside the laptop.

Any help or ideas would be great!

Thanks

I understand that but my issue is my old fan has issues as it spins very loudly and overheats and shuts down. I reapplied paste to the heatsink and that only dropped the temperature a little. The old fan would spin at full capacity at all times and would no longer run programs it used to. So i got a new fan and that new fan won't spin at all.

hey thanks for the reply, the voltage stated on the fan is the same as the other fan. I don't think its the board because the other fan spins when connected.

Sure thing. :)

I actually meant the voltage the board supplies by testing the pins/fan connector, rather than the fan itself. If the old fan spins though, then that's probably not the problem and you may need to exchange the new fan.
