Is this a dell inspiron (worst made laptop known to mankind, in my opnion)? A fan not working (the only fan in your labtop). Would mean that there is a very high chance that your comp is dead. Laptops generate alot of heat and need to move that heat away from the cpu. If the heat is not removed. then things tend to start to break.

If the fan was working and the comp had a black screen then I would suggest getting a replacement panel. But the fan not working is a whole another story. If you have a warranty I would try sending it back, if not, try not to buy dell again.

If the fan hasn't been working, then your comp has a high probability of being permanently broken. I had an ultra book that fan jot jammed. It smoked up, stoped working, and I returned it.

Is the fan at a complete stop? Have you doped the computer before (sometimes a black screen can be because of the display port not being in tight enough) I would suggest to not tamper with the insides of your computer by yourself. Taking it to a PC shop would be your best choice. Ask them to see how much it would cost to fix what is broken. If its 1/2 the cost of the laptop you would be better off getting a new one.
