Loud 'whirring' fan noise. Can anyone help? Has anyone had this problem? No new hardware / software installed. No recent changes etc....<BR /><BR />Thanks!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 20:54:20 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131277#M29020 unicorn 2005-06-20T20:54:20Z Re: PCV-W2 Hardware Monitor - Power Fan Speed N/A https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131278#M29021 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>One of your fans has died I'm afraid.<BR /><BR />You need to see if you can easily replace it with a standard case fan<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Jun 2005 14:30:32 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131278#M29021 kee-lo_ 2005-06-21T14:30:32Z Re: PCV-W2 Hardware Monitor - Power Fan Speed N/A https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131279#M29022 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for your reply. Sometimes the fan does seem to rev up.....<BR /><BR />In any case, can you give and advice on opening the W2 - it doesn't appear obvious. And what would you recommend as a 'standard case fan'?<BR /><BR />Thanks again.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Jun 2005 15:47:04 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131279#M29022 unicorn 2005-06-21T15:47:04Z Re: PCV-W2 Hardware Monitor - Power Fan Speed N/A https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131280#M29023 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Opening the W2 isn't going to be very easy at all - maybe Hits has some ideas (sorry to put you on the spot mate)<BR /><BR />A standard case fan is 80mm<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Jun 2005 18:32:53 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131280#M29023 kee-lo_ 2005-06-21T18:32:53Z Re: PCV-W2 Hardware Monitor - Power Fan Speed N/A https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131281#M29024 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>PAPST fans are good.

And took the vacuum cleaner to the air vents (obviously from outside the case). And guess what? Problem solved - i.e. several days now, all running normally. I had already tried the compressed air solution, but it was 1800 watts of suction that did the trick. I know it can't be a recommended solution, but doesn't it beat expensive repairs and the inconvenience?<BR />Thanks to all.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Jun 2005 22:26:00 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131282#M29025 unicorn 2005-06-26T22:26:00Z Re: PCV-W2 Hardware Monitor - Power Fan Speed N/A https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131284#M29026 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Actually a lot of people get the vacume on their PCs when it all goes Pete Tong<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Jun 2005 13:54:57 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/pcv-w2-hardware-monitor-power-fan-speed-n-a/m-p/131284#M29026 kee-lo_ 2005-06-27T13:54:57Z
