Replacing Failed Fans on Graphics Cards
Replacing Failed Fans on Graphics Cards
ASUS AGP V7700
Nice 32mb card that cost a bomb when they first came out. It's obviously the fan that's had the richard (display dies with a beep pause beep-beep after a short period and then an overheated chip keeps it out of the picture (or me out of a picture more precisely)).
The fan appears to plug into the board via a lead and the fan housing is attached to the card by two white plastic retainer studs. That leads me to believe that it should be possible to whip off the failed fan and replace it with one that has (at least) a similarly arrayed retaining device (alternatively gluing it on).
Anybody have any experience in this area (or should I just toss it like all the other failed bits of electrtonic dross that quit on a daily basis (or so it seems around here).
Probably the last people in the world that you'd ever get an answer out of is NVIDIA (if they're anything like Diamond)
