  1. If no abnormalities are found, put the fan back into the machine. Ensure correct installation with the white sticker facing outwards.
  2. Fit the sponge gasket into the cover.
  3. Place the fan cover back and install the four screws to secure the cover.

 

#2 Check the connecting cable

  1. Refer to the video tutorial in the note to remove the following external covers and plates:
  • 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.
  • If the multimeter buzzes, the cable goes well.
  • Otherwise, there may be no current flow through the cable and it needs replacement.
