Folks, Trying to source a non-DEC fan for a 4100 CPU since getting them in the UK is more and more tricky as time goes on. The originals are 12V 0.17A 60mm 3-wire and I've found some almost-identical-but-not-quite 0.18A variants. Needed to rewire the plugs to match (12V, sense, gnd) but the machine reports 'CPU0 Fan Fail' despite the fact the fan is running at speed.
Is +0.01A enough to make the monitor board think the fan's failed? Board itself is fine as it works with its existing fan. Cheers, -- adrian/witchy Owner of Binary Dinosaurs, the UK's biggest home computer collection? www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk
