Hey /g/ I'm a tech noob, I had to take my laptop apart and put it back together because my cat knocked 20oz of water directly out onto it. Got it dried out completely and functioning fine and dandy now, but the fan connetion was pretty difficult to get in because of its size and I'm not sure it's connected all the way.
A little bit after turning it on for the first time it started blowing, but hasn't since. Just wondering if you people know of any programs that allow you to activate your CPU fan manually by some sort of prompt just so I can test the connection to make sure it's solid without yanking it all apart again.

what do the temps look like? if the temps are fine then it's normal for the fan to shut off
if the temps are high then you can be concerned about it

SpeedFan allows you to do that. At any rate, your fans should turn on automatically if your CPU gets a bit hot. Just run a few programs and it should turn on. If it doesn't turn on, then obviously something went wrong.

Yeah just ran SpeedFan and under "Select a fan" there's no fans listed whatsoever, seems like it might be not displaying the fan if it's not connected properly. Honestly I dunno how I could push that little bastard into its seat and harder though without risking damaging the board or the plug.

Try a CPU stress test, like prime95. It'll heat the CPU and the fan should start working.
My laptop doesn't allow for manually turning on the fans with SpeedFan.

Only works if it's a 4 pin connector
