That's probably a bad MCP89. You can buy a replacement but half of them will be worse than the one that you have.

if shorting power pads = pin 5 of J5713 to GND then the fan spins for a short time. I am not holding wire for more than a few seconds.
Holding it for longer seems to kick the fan into high. I also do not have the board in the body at this time. I am unsure if this makes any difference.

out of body is no problem,

hook up the speakers, the plugin charger, then short pins 5 see if you hear a chime. or if you hook up a mouse if the light turns on on the mouse

See if you hear a chime is for the deaf people sorry for that, listen if you hear a chime.. gosh i am a dick
