I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S72416
It overheats at anytask requiring 25% or more cpu power. The fan in the bottom doesnt spin. Could it clogged with dust or just a error making it not spin. I updated my BIOS but still nothing

If the fan isn't working, I strongly advice to substitude the currupt fan.
Otherwise the processor may die by overheating.

I have a Fan under it at all times now but i called staples and asked and they said it would be 370$$ :O! for fan replacement. Could the problem be anything easy like a switch turned off.

I guess, it's not.
If the machine is powered off, can you spin it manually by hand?
It should then turn a few rounds by itself.
If not, the ball bearing is corrupt.Btw: Is it a desktop pc or a notebook?

So ya i spun the fan and it wouldnt spin on it's own it went back to where is was like there was a spring holding it back
>:O My brother punched the top of the laptop and the screen is all cracked how much is this fix going to cost?

I've no idea. You might have to check eBay or whatever, to get possibly a cheep used one.
Why do one punsh on a laptop???
I have never heard of one, that a punsh on a computer ever helped on a problem. It only helps hardware dealers.
