My power source fan for my pc is acting up, sometimes i have to start it by hitting it with a pen, can i replace it, i'm sure its the ball bearings. Its not good to not have that start

Sure you can, go to RadioShack and look for a DC fan that is (I think) 40x40cm. Then just get a screw driver and knowledge about the flow of electricity, as there is no little convenient plug like they give you for a CD or Hard Drive. (Red goes to Yellow, Black to Black, it's that simple.. and no bombs explode.)Last modification: Moose Master - 05/15/01 at 17:20:22

Uhm, just wear some rubber gloves, good for more than one occasion.Last modification: Moose Master - 05/16/01 at 12:13:55

you'd know about both

Ok, let me tell you a secret about computers. There´s a cable that plugs into the wall. If you pull it from the wall you wont get shocked anymore when adding stuf to the PC. Easy, huh? <br><br>"bah"

your so smart... omg

Technically there are capacitors in the power supply that can maintain a charge for many days (if not years). They may have a bleeder resistor on them to slowly discharge them when the power has been disconnected for safety. It's still a source of danger though. My Amiga monitor would maintain a charge after it was unplugged, and would zap you if you touched the terminals of the power cord. It was like a static electricity shock on steroids. <br><br>Dan East
