Any comments based on experience welcome. Thanks in advance. Most fan failures are due to dried out bearings/bushing. A single drop of a light weight oil will usually cure this and allow the fan to work for many years to come. Access to the bearings is under a rubber cap that's under the sticker on the fan. So if your fan doesn't rotate freely, just put in a drop of sewing machine/reel oil or something that thin and rotate the fan until it becomes free. Ones heavily stuck may need to be forced to start but should free up after a few minutes. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
