I have a (hand-me-down) couple of these fans. I have assembled one, so far, but when I plug it in, it won't turn on. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help! :-)

Buy another model. Mine is brand new out of the box , it's loud, not powerful and the base broke for no reason.

These are great fans and move a lot of air. We have 10 of them and use them commercially cuz they're so good and dependable. Buy another one if you're having problems, they should work out of the box when plugged in and the speed selector is moved off 0.

I've never experienced it. Failures happen - RMA it. My main desktop has 8 of these fans in it with zero failures (on 24/7, for several months). Good luck with the replacement!

I have no fan noise. My old HP fan sounded like a dying hard drive. The laptop heated up to painful levels. The biggest thing I notice about this is there is no sound, no heat. I wouldn't mind some heat this winter. :) Perhaps you can return that one and get a new one. I think you have a dud.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Sorry to say . With in a day I had to send it back the fans were seeming. I did not replace it. I thought for the price it was steal but it would have to work properly and mine didn't

How's the fuse? Does it blow when the fans turn on? Have you checked the cooling fans? They are usually the thing that goes first.

The same thing is happening to me. I noticed since last night that the fan inside the unit is not working. The vapors just collect at the bottom of the base and stay there. Guess have to open the whole unit and order the kind of computer fan currently used inside that unit.

I had nothing glowing on mine. Return it if you still can. The next thing that goes out is the fan motor. I had 2 of these. I just received the 2nd one plugged it in and the fan went out. Biggest piece of junk.

'course! I've not had that issue with this case buuuuuuuuuuuuut there's a few things we can do! Firstly, make sure all the power cables to the fans coming from the case are connected to MOLEX/4pin power connectors (or the relevant ones for the fan you are connecting) and if it's still not receiving power and spinning up either A) Send the case in for replacement or B) Try a replacement power cable to the fan. Not really much more help beyond that which can be offered I'm afraid!

That's a new one on me. I haven't dug mine out for the summer just yet. I don't recall if there is a reset button anywhere on either the fan or the remote. Is your's brand new? I can't think of what to try. Maybe unplug it and pull out battery. Plug it back in and see if it works manually. Then see if it will shut off using the remote. I hope you can get it going.. I like mine...

I would have to say that the fan will not work due to fan blade sizing and the screw mount holes.Best advice is to do a google search for just your part number FD8015U12S of which there are many out there to purchase.Amazon does list having one used fan and I would certainly inquire about its condition.Hope this helps.Jerry BrownMedina, OH

I own 3 of them and none have a sound at all. They are absolutely soundless unless the fan is turned on higher. There must be something wrong with yours. I would contact the company.

Nancy, after inserting into computer, make sure both the buttons next to the plug on the back are pushed in. This turns on all the fans. Let me know. Mine works great.

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

We have the Hello Kitty model. A week ago, ours started doing the same thing, making a very loud whirring fan noise. At first i was able to move it around and i got the sound back to the original "whisper quiet" sound level. Turned it on tonight and the fan is dead. Got it November 2010, so we're two months out of warranty... :(

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck
