Could be that the fan was shorted? Killing the 5V supply in that area of the board? Where you getting a POST beep?<br>

I was doing routine maintenance -- cleaning out dust bunnies.<br>
<br>
Also wanted to isolate which fan was rattling on startup. It turns out<br>
the extra case fan is making the noise -- noise goes away after 2-3<br>
minutes of up time.<br>
<br>
Finish the cleaning, close the case, and turn on the power: get beep<br>
code indicating no video. WTF<br>
<br>
Open up the case and try reseating the video card (mobo video ports have<br>
died.) No help.<br>
<br>
Changed video cables. No help.<br>
<br>
Plugged my netbook into the big monitor. Monitor works. (little ARM<br>
netbook is working as hard as it can to drive the larger monitor at full<br>
resolution, so browser is slowed to a crawl, but it does work.)<br>
<br>
Finally, while I am sitting on the floor scratching my whatever, I pull<br>
the internal power plug to the noisy fan. On powerup video works again.<br>
<br>
WTF!<br>
