I just replaced the fan and heatsink in my Framework 13 AMD 7040, and no matter what the fan will not start.

I replaced the old Fan and heatsink after it died while playing minecraft, leaving my laptop to overheat while i left to do something else, when i came back the display was frozen, then shut off.
