• Seperating the Fan from the heatsink...
    1 replies, posted
Well I have a very old and odd type of heatsink here... It came from an Emachines T5088. The fan has recently stopped spinning I want to either fix it or replace the fan. The problem is that the fan is secured by very weird spring loaded screws with no way to get them off... I have some pictures... Thanks.

(came from one of my older computers used as a home database) sorry for huge distorted pictures... using an iphone... (PS. the gap in the shaft is far too small for the screw to go through) [editline]5th February 2011[/editline] Bump please, I need to get this computer back online! [editline]5th February 2011[/editline] -SNIP- I removed it... I destroyed the black washers holding the pins in place.. Hopefully this wont hamper its security.
