Hi all
Well the title says it all and out of warranty and a good blast with air didnt resolve it shutting off, and it was overheating and going off and staying off till power had been off and came back on again. Had noticed it going off for last couple of days. Had just been removing power and reconnecting and it would work. But tonight it was off when I got home from work
So stripped it down and the Fan just wasn't working at all
Tried to find a replacement on line and could find one of same spec, got close but only had two wires and the third wire monitors the fan speed (well does on PCs) so wasnt happy
So needed to get the fan off to test the poer output as if it didnt have a volt drop oer the read and blck connectors it would be a circuit board component issue The fan connectors had the waterproof vanish on it, clear most of it off and tried to unplug the connector it moved but wasnt coming off easy, then powered up
and the fan worked so reassembled it and back on tank
Sounds like a faulty connection OFC, will see how it goes in next few days and can always re-varnish the connectors if it keeps going (or Not )
Did think it was unlikely to be the fan as they do then to have a long half life IME
