Re: Computer fan noise and maintenance
I have a problem with a computer whose fan stays on 100% of the time, and drives the user mad. I've checked the normal things, cleaned the case etc etc and no dice. I've read that this can happen when the transistor controlling the fan shorts.
It's a 12v 400mA fan, so I was thinking that if solder a 1K linear pot in series with the fan, I could adjust the fan to where it was capable of doing it's job, without driving the user to the insane asylum.
