| [* red] Using a dry cotton swab remove any blockage in the fan channel that is preventing the fan from rotating. | |
| - | [* orange] If the fan bearing has unseated(this can be diagnosed of the fan does not rotate freely or has resistance while rotating even after blockage has been removed) gently grip the fan housing as shown in the second image and pinch it until there is a tactile bump and the fan rotates freely. |
| + | [* orange] If the fan bearing has unseated gently grip the fan housing as shown in the second image and pinch it until there is a tactile bump and the fan rotates freely. |
| + | [* icon_note] You can tell if your fan bearing is not seated properly if the channel is clear but the fan still resists rotation. |
| [* black] If the stock adhesive has failed and the motor is no longer secured to the housing, apply pea sized amount of adhesive to a cotton swab and spread it evenly along the bottom of the motor. Repeat the pinching motion in the second image. | |
| [* icon_note] An adhesive that does not degrade under heat or expand is recommended. In my case I used Loctite Super Glue Gel. | |
| [* icon_reminder] Allow the adhesive to cure for the amount of time that the manufacturer suggests. |
