    About fans and bearings...

    Thought I'd paste a link to a FAQ made by Dorothy Bradbury



    Really good reading for most people, might help people with the loads of BS used by fan relabellers and websites pushing them, like lifetime figures and what the bearings really are.

      Wow! Lots of info with more to be added. I gave it a slow looking over and saved the link.
      Thank you for the post.

          Hi Galvanized,

          my pleasure! I'll post here when it's updated in the future.

              Thanks for the link. I have added that excellent PDF to my reference library.

                  Thanks man,that was one good pdf! It's hard to find bearing and lifetime info.

                  I'm using panaflo over my cpu and i almost can't hear it...the only noise i can hear comes
                  from my vga cooler, currently dying

                          RTX3090 working fine but fans not spinning
                          by emil_t
                          Hello guys. I have a problem with a PNY XLR8 GAMING RTX3090 graphics card. The problem is that it displays and works fine, but the fans don't spin at all. The problem occurred when someone else removed the fans in order to clean it and broke one of the fan connectors. He replaced it himself and after that, it wasn't working anymore. I guess he damaged something else in the process. What i have done so far: I found 2 capacitors next to the connector that were in a bad shape, he must have touched them with his tools - they weren't shorted, but i replaced them with similar ones from a similar card....

                          Nitro 5 AN517-54-51RQ (LA-L181P) Dead after messing around with bootable bios mod!
                          by gustaznkr
                          Hey guys! I've recently found out this amazing forum where people talk and discuss about electronics repairs and i'm actually amazed with everything that here's have to offer.

                          Oh well, i came here looking for a simple bios file in order to get my main laptop working again, but after a while trying to figure out what the hell was going on, i'm quite concerned that it would be worse than i tought. I was fooling around with Mr. Smokeless's UMAF BIOS mod, looking for a way to enable CSM compatibility and legacy boot on my device.

                          Device specs:
                          AN517-54-51RQ (LA-L181P)...

                          my Xiaomi Notebook Pro X laptop fans work like crazy for no reason
                          by sda sad
                          Hope this is the right place, someone can help me.
                          My laptop started having a really strange problem....
                          When I turn it on the fans start working at a crazy rate and with random breaks...
                          They can work for say 10 seconds and stop for 2 seconds and then turn on again for 5 etc...
                          And it's from 0 to 100%. I tried to install AIDA and did the processor chip test and the graphics did not exceed 70 degrees and the fans were not even close to working at the power they work randomly.

                          The model of the computer:
                          Xiaomi Notebook Pro X 15 OLED (A30)

                          ...

                          Dell Precision 5530 15" died to blown chip. Replaced chip and now only get momentary fans, lights, no screen or boot
                          by joesmoe91
                          Hello,

                          My Dell Precision 5530 turned off suddenly when I was running Matlab and wouldn't turn on, show any lights, fans, and/or any signs of activity at all. I opened the case, removed the battery and looked at the board with a thermal camera while the AC adapter was connected. I saw that PU1252 was >120C so figured the chip had died on me Got the part number off the attached schematic (see Mouser link below) and replaced the chip. After replacing the chip the board (connected to AC adapter) was able to briefly power on, spin the fans a little bit, and turn on the front led lights....

                          Spectre X360 DAX38CMBAG0 - overheating fans not spinning
                          by magneh
                          Hello all

                          Got this Spectre with an overheating problem.
                          I verified that the fans start briefly during power up, but never turn on again,
                          even when stress testing the machine and CPU at 100°C fans dont spin

                          Ive measured and I have 5V, 3.3v and 3rd pin 0.
                          When fans spin during start up, the signal at 0v is at 1.6v.

                          Probably its Fan2Sig pin and 3.3V is PWM, not sure

                          Question is , how to fix?
                          I think these signals come from ITE controller am I right?
                          Should I bother replacing it?

                          Thanks...
