1. Hold your hand over the exhaust vent and see if air is coming out
2. Well I don't know anything really technical but if you remove any disks currently playing in your laptop you should be able to hear a slight hum which is the fan. I don't know about replacements or anything though...
3. All laptops are made differently. Since you did not mention you make & model it is impossible to be specific. Your fan could be blocked by dirt & dust. Blow out the vents with canned air. Contact tech support at makers web site for specific replacement info.
4. Download SPEEDFAN, it will check your pc temperature and verify fan is functioning. ok http://www.speedfan
