Can't tell if its working. Had fan speed on 3 for few hours, the disk stack doesn't turn, the fan is not wet at all and there is no mist coming out.

You would know if it's working as you would hear it, even on the lowest setting. Check to make sure you put it together properly - you may want to call the company - there is a U.S. phone # in the booklet.

Make sure that the electrical cord sits in the recess and not on the lid. The wheel should turn if the top and bottom flange are seated.

I purchased it, and it never worked. The company did not honor the warranty, but they thought that the problem was a faulty pump on a new unit. They offered to repair it (a new unit) at a reduced cost. Obviously, I did not send good money after bad. I ended up with an over priced barely adequate fan, not a cooler. Hope this answers your question.

I've had mine about 2 1/2 years. The fan still turns on, but the little metal plate no longer vibrates, so of course no mist is produced. :( Yes, it will also produce little or no mist if it has too much or too little water in the lower portion, but sometimes it just goes kaput regardless of any trouble shooting. For $90 I would have liked it to last longer. It was great while it lasted.

I agree with Jamieb, However Once the motherboard completes its post the device will continue to monitor the board. But it may not report the problem until you reboot. On a side note being a laptop if a virus has been ruled out I would insure that the fan is operating. And if it is older than 3 years old the thermal paste on the cpu may be getting weak and your cpu may be over heating.I paid $60.00 usd to have fan replaced and new thermal paste applied to a HP G series unit which had the same symptoms. The board did not report the problem. Hope that helps. Good Luck a competent honest technician will do wonders.

Yes, there must be something wrong, or a few of the disk drives are loose. I would check/reseat the disk drives with the unit powered off. If this does not fix your issue, then I would return it, or get a replacement unit.

Mine worked as soon as I plugged it in. If you do not feel cool air coming up through the opening in the table, there may be a short in the fan system. This is just my guess.

Did you turn it on? Is it fully plugged into the drive? I had an issue with an older ISA/EISA drive not getting fully plugged in. If you are using one of the 3.5" drives you need to check to verify that it is powering up. No power means it is not working. If you hear the drive power up (you can hear it spin up) and it is fully connected is it making any other sounds like clicking? If so the drive itself may be dead. There are several tricks to try if that is the case but without more details of the issue I can't help much more.

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.

The fan stays on until the powersupply cools off --- not necessarily 15 seconds. If it's really "indefinitely", then it's broken.

try plugging it back to where it worked well. that's for checking if your hard drive is still good.

Sorry. I got a defective fan and so returned it. Didn't run it for anywhere near that length of time.

No it's not, but I have had less than a year and one fan doesn't work. I have to do some trouble shooting to see if it's a fuse.

If you are comfortable removing the PU. A PC repair shop can load test it for you and check to see if the fans doing its job. May need a check up anyway if the unit is several years old. A failing PU can really ruin your day.

If the setting dials are working? The air humidity should trigger your fan....if not you may seek a replacement unit....Thank you..11/23/2013

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

No, not at all, sounds like you got a defective one, mine is still working GREAT!
