So, i recently repasted and Cleaned the Laptop by myself using some Youtube tutorial, as I thought it would be easier and faster than waiting for my Laptop to come back from Repair, and it was only Repasting that needed to be done so I did It.

At first I didnt notice any mistakes I couldve made, after the cleaning I stuck the Cables where they shouldve been and eveything seemed alright, but after some time I looked over my Predator Sense an saw that the GPU Fan isn't spinning at all, I Thought maybe it was some kind of a bug on Predator senses Side, but after inspecting the fan It Indeed wasnt spinning. 
Today I opened the Laptop again in hopes that i maybe didnt put the Cable deep enough into the Slot, but it still isnt Spinning.
Im pretty new to "repairing" any kind of Electronic device by myself, I dont even know what to Ask right now as of I dont know what couldve happened that the Fan isnt Working anymore, pls Halp.

    How did u remove the fan plugs from the motherboard? If u had loosened them by pulling the cable then most likely u would have cut the cables. Otherwise check if the fan spins by moving it with your hand since something could be obstructing it. Even then if it doesnt work then interchange the fans and see if the fan which wasnt running runs in the other plug.

    So I checked the cables and everything was fine, I loosened them with two toothpicks, I didint pull the cables.
    But i've found the problem, one of the Golden coils in the plug for the Fan broke off and where the are usually 4 of them in now only 3.
    Is there a way to fix it or Should I just Send my Laptop to repaircenter and hope that they Can repair it ?

    Is the broken piece from the fans plug or the motherboard connector to the fan? Either way u should give it to them.
