[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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
Running a computer without a cooling fan is asking for trouble. If it can't stay cool, the components will overheat and the computer will be nothing more than a huge paperweight.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
I very much doubt that is slowing the computer. I have one old machine where the fan doesn't always run. Allow it to cool, then when you turn it on insert something insulated and small. I use little stir sticks from the hospital cafeteria, into the vent slots for the fan and give the blades a little flick or two or three or four. I can often thus get the fan spinning. If the circuitry gets too warm you certainly get thermal run-away but that will cause all sort of dysfunction not just slow boot-up time. I suppose the memory or other self check may be failing and re-starting several times thus slowing boot-up. - Original Message - From: "Ann byrne" To: Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 9:14 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan I am working on a computer with a non-functioning fan.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
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. - Original Message - From: "Ann byrne" To: Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 2:14 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan I am working on a computer with a non-functioning fan.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
Hi, If you are into fixing things, many of these fans just need a drop of lubricant. There is usually a sticker on the back side of the middle of the fan under which is either the backend of the motor shaft or a small rubber plug covering the former. Removing the plug, oiling appropriately and putting the sticker back on should get you a couple more years of fan life. Purists wil say "buy a new one", they are cheap online. It has worked for me in many an emergency.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
And if I might add... If you are going to oil the fan, as I have also done, use something like 3 in 1 oil. Do not use WD40. WD40 breaks down and evaporates in a very short time. 3 in 1 oil does not break down and will last a very long time. Jack - Original Message - From: "Jon C.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
Usually you will have to change the power supply. Although the fan can be separately replaced it is about as cheap to replace the entire power supply, usually a couple of bolts and the rest plug to the computer components. About a hundred bucks. Unless the computer gets really hot though it should continue to function. Of course once it does get hot you risk fire and irreparable damage to what remains of the power supply as well as all other components. Fire though is really of most concern, fire kills. - Original Message - From: "Flor Lynch" To: Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan A replacement fan doesn't cost too much, and only a day or so's loss of work on the affected PC. - Original Message - From: "Dale Leavens" To: Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 3:12 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan I very much doubt that is slowing the computer.

There is usually a sticker on the back side of the middle of the fan under which is either the backend of the motor shaft or a small rubber plug covering the former. Removing the plug, oiling appropriately and putting the sticker back on should get you a couple more years of fan life. Purists wil say "buy a new one", they are cheap online.
