After 3 flex cables and 2 inverters, I have determined it is not an LCD problem.

Apparently my CPU is overheating... It also appears that the CPU fan does not work. Poking around with a volt meter, The fan header seems to be dead. Now I need another 12v source. I was thinking of taking some from the HDD since they are less than 1 cm apart and it is external, but I dont know how a laptop drive is powered.

Anyone know what pins are used for power on a laptop?
