I would like to know how I can check if my elitebook fan is working corrrectly.

 

When I don´t use a cooling pad, it seems to get a tad warm, especially when checking with programmes like HWMonitor.

 

My fan is either extremely silent or not functioning, as I do not hear it kicking in at all.

 

The ventilation area is free of dust and if I hang some tissue paper adjacent to the vent grill, it never seems to move from a vertical position...

 

Thanks.

Additional Information:

 

Neither Hmonitor, HWMonitor, nor Speedfan detect a fan.

 

In Bios (Hewlett-Packard L71 ver. 01.39, 26/09/2016) "Fan always on while on AC Power" is checked. 

 

These are values taken with HwMonitor while using a cooling pad under the Laptopundefined

 

The "PCHZ" temp never varies and I wonder if it is an artifact...
