Attempt to repair fan, logic board will not turn on.

Yesterday, my friend send his laptop to me to fix his mac book pro 13' 2012 unibody. I took it apart and look at the fan that is not working well. So i tried heating up the fan using a heat gun without the logic board (i took it apart), it went a little faster, but then the computer shuts off and will not turn on.
