The twin fans that cool the processor seem to have stopped running. Is there any way to check their power connection or replace them if they've failed?

This is a motherboard problem. I know because I bought a new fan module and installed it only to find that it too didn't work. I had to send the computer in to Sager and get a motherboard. It wasn't all that expensive, call them and check it out.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently trying to decide if I'm going to get this fixed or buy a new machine.

Well, you can probably get a faster machine for about $750 US but you won't get that screen. If high resolution is important, get it fixed. If you want to get a new computer and don't care about screen res get a new cheap faster laptop.
