Friend of mines laptop would turn off after 10 or so minutes of being on so I offered to look at it.. It's a low end 2010 model so it would cost more than what it's worth to have a experienced tech look at it.
Right away I could tell there was a over heating issue I could almost really burn my self if I left my hand on the Bottom where the processor is for to long.. Took it all apart expecting the heatsink fan to be crazy clogged up jamming up the fan and such.. But it was actually pretty clean.. I took the old thermal paste off and applied new on cpu/gpu.. Only thing is the fan seemed like it dragged when I manually spun it. Put it back together and still it shuts down after ten or so minute's.. Realized after that the fan isn't even kicking on when I turn the laptop on. It's supposed to right or only when it gets to a certain temp.. Thinking maybe she has a faulty fan.. Any suggestions would be appreciated
