Well it is either blocked, has a bad BIOS setting or the fan is dead and needs to be replaced. Try sticking a bent-out paperclip in the grille to hold the blades and blast some strong compressed air in there. Also try a hard reset....remove battery and AC charger and hold down power 30 seconds then plug in and try again. Also go into BIOS (F10) and set BIOS to default settings. If that does not work it has to be disassembled and the fan replaced.
