SOL cooling fan enquiry

Question:

I have an AI SOL, it sometimes runs quiet.took off grille to test as well.was running ok when I got there but then the fan became noisy. fan was on all the time so maybe electrical issue?

Answer:

Yes, the fan is hitting the fan housing. This can be fixed very easily. What you need to do is this:

1) Place the module facedown (lenses down), with the hot glue/wired side to the left. Remove the fan guard.

2) Remove the 2 fan screws--FAN HOUSING IS RAZOR SHARP SO BE CAREFUL.

3) Take the fan and while pushing the fan over to the left, tighten fan screws. Replace fan guard.

This should fix the problem and stop the noise. Keep me updated.

Regards,

Justin
