And I realize that the effort I put into fixing the thing is nothing compared to the effort of restoring the data if I buy a new drive. The backup is a stack of about 110 DVDs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526470032837468393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-85098429131008604932009-08-16T06:44:39.907-04:002009-08-16T06:44:39.907-04:00So many otherwise sound electronic units have been...So many otherwise sound electronic units have been destroyed because of a defective $1 fan. Laptops, desktop computer power supplies, projectors, DVD players, etc. The cheapest moving part fails and ruins the whole thing.<br />It's always worth taking apart a piece of electronics with a bad fan. At worst, the thing is still dead and you learn a little.

I'm guessing if I make a photocopy and take it to the Library of Congress I would find that you are related to Ben Franklin.<br /><br />Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. I bow to your enterprising spirit. Hell, I might even go to Lowe's and see if I can't replace our bathroom exhaust fan instead of adding it to the handyman list. What's the worst that can happen? I have a bunch of wires hanging out of the wall permanently?Donnahttp://readanygoodbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-60652107434565999472009-08-16T00:53:25.446-04:002009-08-16T00:53:25.446-04:00Like a true scientist.
