Laptops not working

In short. I have 2 samsung laptops, both broken. Both have been opened before. One is stripped of everything besides the essentials (mobo, cpu, ram, etc.) and the other is fully reassembled.

MODEL: NP350V5C

The fans turn on for a brief second then off and then just stay at full speed forever.

Things I've tried:

  • repasting,
  • waiting for it to turn on
  • the stripped one got the oven treatment (still nothing).

Please help

"Sitting untouched and it fixed itself" have you tried disconnecting the both the normal battery and CMOS battery? Once both are unpluged hold down the power button for 40 seconds. That could work.

YO THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA! Ill try that. Wouldve done it earlier but the way the cmos battery is mounted is a pain.

Ok this is bullsh*t I tell you I removed the cmos but it still did the usual..And later I got the stripped one to boot on me when the fan was unplugged. I am trying to replicate that now.
