Re: M43-C1 adding cooling fan

Any progress with adding the cooling fan? I just found an M43-C1 that had been thrown out by the neighbors. After a thorough cleaning, I tried plugging it in and I get no picture or sound, nothing from flashlight test, etc. The power LED flashes 12 times about every 90 seconds or so, but aside from that no signs of life. After reading about so many instances of this same problem, I took it apart to see what my board model number is, and I have an XFCB0QK003020Q board. I ordered a new one online so hopefully that will gain me a new 4K TV, but I'd rather not have to keep getting replacement boards as heat slowly kills them. I am familiar with this issue as I have a 2016 13" MacBook Pro with heat-related screen artifacts that apparently plague this model due to inadequate cooling design and a non-replaceable T-CON board that sits right up against the overloaded CPU heatsink. I want to avoid that type of thing with the TV if possible.
