My computer was buzzing and whirring so I decided to open it up and clean up the fans. Since I am not a computer geek I broke it down like I was changing a starter or a water pump, apparently you need to be a bit more gentle with these things. Long story short one of the fans had a kabazillion tiny copper pins on the back of it that needed to go back precisely the way they came out……they are now mangled and smashed.
My computer will be going into the PC shop to see if it’s salvageable, if not, I will be making a new purchase. That being said posting may be few and far between until the issue is corrected. This post is being done on my work computer so at least I can do an occasional update.
UPDATE:
Sounds like the computer guy will be able to save my machine, I haven’t gotten the call to come retrieve it yet, but it sounds positive and inexpensive. Thanks for all the comments and I would like to answer a few of them.
Dave & Rev. Hoagie – Agreed titties and golf is a much better excuse for not posting.
KHS71 – No I didn’t take any pictures before I pulled it apart, it just didn’t seem that complicated….I was wrong.
Toejam, Leonard, Towser, & Samoore – Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.
Hopefully I’ll be back up and running this afternoon or tomorrow, we’ll see.
