| 549838 | 2007-05-14 19:44:00 | Hello and welcome to PressF1 :D I assume the computer had been turned off (unplugged) when you fixed it? Did you push the plug all the way back in? Did you also remember to turn the switch back on at the rear of the computer? Maybe you have accidentally knocked another wire (possibly the connection wire from the on/off switch to the motherboard) while trying to get the fan going. |

| 549840 | 2007-05-15 17:51:00 | Yes i plugged all the cables etc i am sure because my speakers work as well as the wireless keyboard which is connected to my PC.My PC can have possibly been burnt because of the broken fan?Thank you for answering.Have a nice day.I would appreciate if we could communicate via Skype..my address is(name)goofy alban or arsenal4ever44.Thank you once more. | Alen (12265) | ||
| 549841 | 2007-05-15 19:32:00 | Just so we are clear, are we talking about a cooling fan, or the main power supply fan? If its the main power supply fan, then you may have issues and will probably need to replace the power supply. If its a cooling fan, it is highly unlikely that you could have blown anything by a wrong connection |

| 549842 | 2007-05-16 01:09:00 | Alen you need to be far more descriptive in your description of the initial problem and what you did to fix it. Merely plugging in a fan shouldn't stop a PC from working, either you've knocked/damaged something when you did it or theres another problem. Doubt anyones going to want to communicate via Skype |

| 549843 | 2007-05-16 04:03:00 | Just so we are clear, are we talking about a cooling fan, or the main power supply fan?He's talking about the PSU fan. And pretty sure he's mucked up the wiring somehow. Either that or the PSU decided to coincidently die. At least it's not expensive to replace. |

At least it's not expensive to replace. How do you know its the PSU fan? From his description it could easily be a rare exhaust fan. |

| 549845 | 2007-05-16 05:18:00 | Exhaust fans aren't so rare. :D But it's elementary, Watson. The fact that the machine doesn't power up after he fiddled with it says that it has to be the PSU. Also, if there were more than one fan at the rear, a case fan and a PSU fan, then he would've said which one, eg the top fan or the lower fan, or some such thing. |

| 549846 | 2007-05-16 05:42:00 | Yet to identify and repair the PSU fan, the PSU would need to be removed for the case and opened, the post makes no mention of this. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
