Page 1 of laptop fan not working ?

hello i have noticed recently that my laptop is getting hot and was wondering is there anyway i can do a test to tell me if its the fan?
when i turn it on the fan kicks in for a few sec`s then stops,and thats normal,
but i never notice it again but i tend to notice how warm my legs get...
i`ve tried to listen for when it kicks in but i either don`t notice if it has or i have missed it...
any ideas and if you think its the fan are these things much and easy to fit?
thanks loads.. :¦
