"When I turn the laptop on the fan doesn't start up I thought it is suppose  
to start when you first start the laptop up."

Not necessarily. Some computers will vary fan speed from all the way off to  
all the way maxed out based on the reported temperatures of various sensors  
(you can even read these temperature sensors from within GNU/Linux) in an  
attempt to control the amount of power used and noise level.
