IF you go to to technical support, select your laptop, and view the manual, it should have the instructions to remove the components.

Tbh if its under warranty, phone dell, it will be fixed for this time tomorrow. Even if its not under warranty, phone them, they will diagnose the fault over the phone

 

Most of dell laptops keyboard needs coming off first before you can get to the motherboard components. Unscrew and take off the keyboard and then you should be able to reach the fan etc.

 

should the Microprocessor Thermal-Cooling Assembly fan come on straight away, both fans have stopped working should I just change both or is there a test i shoud do first, cheers for the help.
