- I spent a minute or so inspecting the power supply and fan
- situation, and to me it looked non-trivial to turn it around.
- The fan seems to be mounted inside the PS, thus one would have to
- open the PS to get at it. That would also require removal of the
- said PS.
-
- I'd certainly be interested in the procedure if any one has done
- it themselves, not saying I'll actually do it then though. I'd
- rather see Commodore make an announcement either way and then
- follow up in the appropriate manner. This would somewhat vindicate
- my feelings toward Commodore as a non-service oriented Company.
-
- I suspect the fan will not be a problem until spring/summer when
- the temperature and humidity start going up again.
