1st Please ensure that it is NOT under warranty because the alteration surly will void it!
Had a customer concerned about the same & all I did was turn the fan on in BIOS settings, always ran but didn't cost a dime and didn't void any warranty.
Have you checked your BIOS settings or are you privy as to how to check it?
. In the settings in BIOS there is usually a "Fan always on" option that you can enable?
The fan may not "kick in" until a certain temperature is reached as well... Have you checked the temp while running, or has it "Auto shutdown" to prevent CPU damage.. or "Fan Failure" warning???
I've bought about a dozen different items from the seller. in their Feedback you'll see me grafton_pc_supply They are a great seller... Shipping could be faster, they use fed-ex midi service that delivers to your usps then usps delivers to you.

I walked through all of the BIOS settings and find nothing that talks about "fan"

It's usually under Power management
If not look under system configuration/device configuration.
Fan always on should be enabled... Some only allow "always on" while on AC power.

Dell portable users have long depended on a free utility called FanGui to monitor
internal temperatures and fan control.
Here is a link to; I8kfanGUI version 3.0 beta 2 is out (23. May 2006).
You should be able to control fan from this if not in BIOS.
