A while ago i had an issue with my fan cuz it stopped working. So my macbook was shouting down frequently Bcuz of the overheat. After that i had another problem, my macbook didnt startup. So i take it to the apple store, a they reinsatlled the OS, and my fan started working again. Everything was fine again.
I just moved to mexico city, and i started having the same problem, my fan isnt work, and theres no apple store in here. So i reisntalled OSX by myslef, erased the whole HD, but still haveing the problem, i already did all the updates too..
i think it has something to do with the SMC firmware
what do can i do?

Run Apple Hardware Test (boot from the install DVD, hold d).

If the fan (or any other hardware) is really broken it will tell you so.
