    Properly connect CPU fan

    Hello,

    I need to replace CPU fan and the replacement part has one free wire that is not connected to the connector. At first I thought that it has broken from the connector, but this is not the case, since it can be found on the pictures of brand new fan on ebay.

    Is this normal wire or it has some special purpose in terms of sensing the temperature or something?
    It seems that this wire is just soldered on the metal of the heatsink.

      Re: Properly connect CPU fan

      Update:
      It appears to be a sensor wire. So the question is how to properly connect it to the frame without destroying it? I guess using solder iron would destroy it.
      I have found an explanation of this additional wire here on this yt video.

          SAMSUNG UE65HU8500 ONE CONNECT pinout connector request
          by AlexVG
          Hi,
          I came across with
          SAMSUNG UE65HU8500
          ONE CONNECT BN41-02135
          Chassis GOLF_UHD_1MP_JACK

          TV can not recognise ONE CONNECT box, so I need to know the pinout of the CN 3301 connector.
          Moreover, on the main is written A5V. However, cable connected this pin to the GND.






          Maybe somebody have an experience with the same issues?
          I need your help.
          Thank you....

          Don't probe Samsung LED conector with LED tester, connect may not make contact afterwards
          by howardc64
          Samsung have been using this style LED connector for few years now



          Usually good idea to test the LEDs before opening the panel to change them. I do this without the PSU stil connected. With this connector (white one) have to jam the LED tester probes in the very narrow thin slot where the PSU blade style male prong inserts into. I've done this on many Samsungs without problem until today...

          The female terminal inside the white connector has fragile fingers that grabs onto the male blades on the PSU's black connector. If the LED tester probe spreads open...

          Thinkpad T490 doesn't detect NVME
          by pandrew
          I have a Thinkpad T490 (NM-B901 Rev 1.0) that cannot detect an NVME M.2 SSD,
          but it works fine with a SATA M.2 SSD.

          When connecting an NVME M.2 SSD I get while booting:
          "2101: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)"

          I can continue and boot a live linux distro from a USB stick, but it doesn't show up in lspci,
          and I don't notice any relevant error messages in dmesg.

          I have tried two different M.2 NVME SSDs (both working fine on a different machine),
          and the behavior is the same.

          I am pretty sure that all the important...

          Panasonic toughbook CF-19 help connect the HDD directly. Need a SATA pinout.
          by AquaMan Ua
          Hello, dear community. NEED A DIAGRAM of the HDD/SSD connector contacts as an example (a screenshot from the diagram of another laptop on which I have already done this and a photo of the patient's board) Maybe someone can make a screenshot of the diagram with the pinout? Or does someone have a diagram of the motherboard schematic?

          I am asking, because not find the information myself anywhere. I have a PANASONIC CF19 MK2 laptop (Any revision will do, I do not think that the contacts in the connector are located differently) but finding a basket for it at reasonable prices is a problem....

          Kenwood Chef KVC50 / KVL60 / KVC5000 / KVL6000 / KVL6030 / KVL6050 kitchen machine repair
          by RolandVossen
          Hello,

          I am attempting to repair a KVC50 kitchen machine. Problem is that speeds 1..5 on the speed dial do not work at all (motor is not engaged). The 'reverse' and 'slow' settings on the same dial however work properly. I removed the dial, its PCB components seems to be basic: a potentiometer, a microswitch, a couple of LEDs and a couple of SMD diodes or transistors. The dial has three cables with three connectors that hook up to the motor controller PCB. One connector (3 pins) for speed, one connector (5 pins) for the LEDs, and one connector (2 pins) for a safety switch that is...
