help?

Hi,
You're talking about the chip fan and they too can beoiled in the same
way.
There is however another one, in the power supply.
Again you should have some basic knowledge about electrical things and a
fair bit of mechanical aptitude. The power supply dismounts from the case
with 4 screws, the cover of the supply comes off with 4 flat-head Phillips
screws, the fan is mounted to the back of the supply behind the grill with
4
plastic-tapping screws of a fairly large diameter.
Taking out a supply means disconnecting the 40-pin motherboard connector,
probably a 4-pin p4 connector, all power cables to your hard drive and
floppy, and well make sure you know what you are doing before trying this
at home.
Once you've done it a couple of times it's cake.

It can fry it. There are two fans: The PC fan, and the motherboard fan.
The computer tries to save itself, but there is only so much it can do.
The
PC fan can be fixed (by a replacement fan) fairly easily. When the
motherboard fan goes, so does the motherboard; and that all takes longer
and
is more expensive.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
I am working on a computer with a non-functioning fan. It operates
really slowly. This is the same one that takes 90 seconds to load
JAWS at start-up. Can the heat from not having a fan slow down the
computer? Is it trying to save itself from committing suicide????
Thanks.
