Wow, thank you for the detailed comment! That is great advice on fixing a computer fan. When you said "power supply" i thought perhaps there would be a SHOCKING conclusion to the story, thankfully everything turned out fine. !BBH
Thanks for the appreciation. While it worked for me, it's something I wouldn't recommend to anyone who isn't fully aware of how dangerous it is to go poking around in an open power supply. I'm glad I have an uncle who taught me a thing or two about electronics and electrical systems, plus also the basic electronics class I had back in college.
