The 7300 GS is 8.7 watts at idle, so yes, the fan
should be running. The bearing could be seized on it.

After removing the fan and cleaning it, it now works.

Maybe be the fan cable was not making full contact. ?

Glad you got it working!

Though I'd not have thought 8.7 watts to be something that required
active cooling. Though of course I suppose it would only be at idle when
the display has gone blank while the PC is in one of the relevant modes,
so I'd have expected the fan to be working most of the time - as you've
now got (-:
