[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1606020, member: 56379"] Sounds to me that some of that spilled beverage got into the fan...and the sugar and/or acids in the beverage basically compromised the light oil used on the bearings. Not to mention made it sticky. If this is the case two options: 1. Remove the fan...clean the fan...and relube the fan...then reinstall. 2. Or simply replace the fan. The fact that the fan (at this point is the only thing that seems effected) means that the owner of the computer is very very lucky. Because this beverage spill could have resulted in a dead computer...and a $500+ repair. - Nick p.s. It is always possible something else could pop-up in the future due to the beverage spill. So watch out. [/QUOTE]
