  • Rear plate;
  • Rear upper cover;
  • Front plate;
  • Left plate;
  • Left upper cover;
  1. Disconnect the fan from the cable.
  2. Get a multimeter and switch it to buzz mode.
  3. Place one probe on the cable connector, and the other on the main control board as demonstrated in Pic 4 to check the current flow in the cable.

  • Otherwise, there may be no current flow through the cable and it needs replacement.
