| 1118581 | 2010-07-14 01:45:00 | People don't use air compressors these days? I don't, I don't have one. You have to be careful with those, if the pressure is too high you can end up blasting components off boards. |

| 1118582 | 2010-07-14 02:24:00 | Yesterday I had my computer professionaly cleaned. Fans removed and washed etc. sounds bogus. Tell them they have damaged a fan & you want it replaced. Find out exactly how they 'wash/clean' the fans |

| 1118583 | 2010-07-14 03:11:00 | Fixed ! A four pin plug on the wrong header ! What made me laugh was the fact that the chap who did the clean was the same one who built the computer . So even "experts" make mistakes . The fans were removed and washed in warm soapy water . No vacuums for these boys . Thanks for all responses . :thanks Jack |

| 1118584 | 2010-07-14 03:57:00 | Have to say I have plugged it into the wrong spot before, although as soon as you see that error, you know. Didn't he boot it after to check all was well? |

What the F? is that even worth the effort? a few hours labour cleaning old fans or 10 minutes + the cost of a set of new fans? I got a box of 120mm fans (4 in a box) for like 30 bucks |

Well you go and try it on your motherboard but don't come crying when you blast some SMD parts off it. They are held on by solder, and a drop of glue (sometimes), and not much of it at that. And solder is only for good electrical connections, it's not designed to make a strong physical connection. |
