The PowerMac in my sig has been acting up...
The 8cm fan at the top, between the Superdrive and the HDD seems to now and again go crazy, making the most horrendous buzzing noise and spinning up to full speed...
I tracked down which power connector it was on the motherboard, and unplugged it for now - monitoring the temperature, it doesn't seem to have affected the machine that much, though I will be setting it to sleep before I go to bed.
Does anyone know if this is a user serviceable part or whether i'll have to send it back? It'd help to know what to ask for when I call up tomorrow!!
