| 391345 | 2005-09-28 08:50:00 | Trying to find parts other than elcheapo from the local pc shop is not easy in NZ. It's never in stock. They all seem to be focused on price. The limited places you can get them from must get them from the states at the same prices you/I can & then stick their margins on | Phil B (648) | ||
| 391346 | 2005-09-28 10:10:00 | I followed the simple instructions on how to oil the bearings, no more noise at all, sounds like new. Now I can just save up for a good replacement :thumbs: | ojibwa (8968) | ||
| 391347 | 2005-09-28 11:36:00 | The oil fix is a bit hit and miss, some do, some don't. If your soldering skills are ok (don't have to be brilliant), as stated, throw a $10-15- job in (usually 80x25mm 12v). I picked one up from PBteck a couple of months back when mine started dying. Get some heat shrink tube to go over the solder and wires and you'll be away. Watch out for shocks, from the capicitors, while your fiddling around in there. Turn it off, hit the reset button on the front of the case then leave it an hour or so before taking the unit apart. |
