Hello,
My macbook pro's fan wont kick on for some reason. I thought about taking the back off and cleaning the fan. Can Someone please give me advice on what to do? or tell me how to turn on the fan.

The fan will only speed up when it's actually needed, if you can't hear it then your computer is running to cool to require it, playing games or using CPU intensive apps will jump the temperature up causing the fans to speed up. I wouldn't worry about it

Yeah im sorry i forgot to mention that i have an app that tells me how hot my comp is running and its like 160 fahrenheit. and getting hotter....i have been trying to play some games and they are running choppy. they used to run fine before the last update. i read somewhere that its because the computer gets too hot. Sorry im new to all this and just looking for help.
