Hi. Does the fan turn on when I just plug something in the 12V battery and USB port?

The fan runs when you plug in the unit to the adapter. It runs louder the more items you plug in but it's not real loud even at full capacity of a laptop running. I often take calls with it plugged in and the fan is not disruptive to anyone.

There is a compartment under the mouse pad that you open and in it is a usb cable that plugs into the computer usb terminal and also plugs into the table (IT IS A SMALLER PLUG). The fan comes on automatically. I have never used the fan but once. I use the table about two or two and one half hours at a time.

Its not plugged into an outlet. I believe that my husband wired it in. The fan control in a little knob that is on the side that the air is blowing towards.

Some fans will plug into your motherboard. Some fans use either 5VDC or 12VDC which is available from the numerous disk drive power connectors on the power supply harness.

This is a 12V. Fan, you cold apply 12v. directly (Ground and +12V.) and it will work at it's maximum speed (google "pc fan connector" to find out) The connector is: |Ground - +12v - Speed sensor - Speed control| However this is intended as a computer fan, i will not recommended it for any other use.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the unit has a usb cord to plug into the usb port on your laptop in order to power the fans. Hope this helps.

Yes fan only runs when its heating or cooling. Unless you have it in the fan settling.

Nope, just power switch and fan rotation. If you are uncertain if it's PSU or motherboard failure, you can always try to manually turn on the PSU. If you look at the ATX power connector, there's a green wire that if shorted to a black negative wire, will turn on the psu. At that point you can see if the fan activates, test the output of molex connectors with a multimeter to verify proper output.

Yes, that's normal. The the fan comes on any time the charger is charging batteries, even the factory original units.

yes it is powered by the laptop and there are 2 usb ports on the cooler. i have had it now for a few months and love it. it has separate switches for the light and the fan. i have a 17inch screen laptop I use it with. the single large fan really helps to keep it cool.

You can do that , in fact it is a 12 volt fan . It is a very small computer size fan and does not use much electricity ,however over time it will run the battery down . I have a solar panel on my RV that keeps the battery topped off.

i have the same problem as well, the fan is really noisy when in the mode of battery saving!

Hi there! Not a stupid question at all. This fan plugs into an outlet and does not run on batteries. Hope that answers your question!

Yes, the fan is normally connected to a 4-pin molex. It has been a while ago when I put it together. Would like to verify it for you but unfortunately I've given the computer to a relative and is not with me at this moment.

it is ment for charging batteries and does not put out a full 12 volts...if your fans are run off batteries it will keep them charged

No, it only has a plug and play USB cord. Even when the laptop is off, the fan will run.

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.
