I'll miss your input and POV. Hopefully you'll get it worked out soon.

Mine too! Ah but I know what the problem is, dust within the processing

unit. I took it apart yesterday and I am ashamed at myself for letting

it get soooooooo dirty! Dust balls the size of the mouse. I'm

surprised the fan was still able to function at all. Well, it's running

smooth and quiet once more. Now to add this chore to my calender so

I'll be reminded before it gets out of hand.

Good luck .

Glad you got yours to work... I cleaned out my old computer last year

because of noisy fans and dust - turns out you're not supposed to use

a vacuum. It got quiet all right - dead quiet. *L*

That's odd because I did vacuum mine with special tool attachments. I

was very careful not to rub the circuit board, just lightly went over it

with the soft brush but I sucked the heck out of the fans.

You probably unplugged yours first. *LOL* You should have seen the

face of the tech guy when I told him I used a regular vacuum on a

plugged in computer motherboard that I had opened up.

Live and learn.

If yours was plugged in too, then I don't feel so bad, just unlucky.

Well, in my anal world of cleaning you must unplug everything because

the cords need a once over too. No, seriously, I did know that all must

be shut down and unplugged. It might have something to do with me being

a manual reading freak. ; )

I'm sure that tech used your story for a chuckle many a time. Don't

feel bad, techies do dumb stuff too, I've seen some first hand.
