Re: [Trisquel-users] My heatsink fan is not working.

Yes. I was to suggest to install windows 7 or 8 (depending on what is  
recommended on the official DELL website), download the latest BIOS firmware  
and flash it from Winzkomms.
A friend of mine had this very same issue recently and was able to fix it by  
flashing the latest BIOS in his lappy.
If you flashed the latest BIOS and have no fan working both on winshlose and  
GNU then you can be sure it's a hardware issue and all you can do is take to  
a repair service or buy a new box. Or study a ton of volumes on the argument  
and repair it on your own :D
