Bought this in 2012 - the cooling fans has a DC plug - I've lost the cable, wondering what the specs on it are so I can replace it. Thanks in advance!

You can contact the company and they will replace it. I broke mine, and they sent me another for no charge. Look them up on the internet. Call the corporate number, and they will connect you with customer service. I had to call them twice to remind them to send it, but they were very nice about it.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

Sorry I can't help - I threw mine away... I am sure I kept the AC-DC adapter, but I have a big box full of those and no idea what they originally went to!

I don't sell any parts. Most of the people answering questions are people who bought the same unit and are just trying to help others decide whether to purchase the unit. I would think the manufacturer could tell you where to get the part, otherwise I would remove the bad fan and see if the local electrical supply has one that will work. I haven't had any fan problems so far.

There is a set of prongs just below and to the right of the RAM card slots, labeled "sysfan1". If you want a second fan, you'll have to hook it up to your power supply. That's as far as I know.

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&ps;c=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

I originally used the AC receptacle in the back of the cable box. Since the fan plug / interface to USB are completely different, I might check with one of the bigger electronic stores, Radio Shack types. Also be aware of current needs: i.e. 120v versus anything else. I don't know what voltage comes out of USB (enough to run the fan???). Hope this helps.

Can you be more explicit. I have the same exact fan. The cable has a round plug at one end that plugs into the fan and a usb plug that plugs into the laptop. Are you saying the round plug does not fit into the cooling pad. I cannot imagine that the plug they supplied does not fit. Maybe you should rephrase the question.

I don't know the details of it, but I can tell you that after replacing the fan my computer works fine and it is very quiet. I recommend you to purchase it.

I bought 2 of these last year and had problems with both, one fan didn't work and melted front, other one makes alot of noise and quits after about an hour, I have to unplug let cool down then I can restart!! Good luck but both of mine are JUNK!!

So why in 2 years has no one answered this question? I'm looking for a quiet unit and the DC capability will be cool too. The photos remove the cord; so that's no help to tell. Can anyone answer?

You may have to scab in the connector from the old fan (solder or wire nuts will work)

I had to replace the power supply fan shortly after purchase. Quicker than warranty repair.

1st You need to make sure the power SOURCE, &/or the PSU itself is not corrupt. Move to another known good AC outlet, disconnect all the cables from the motherboard & plug the PSU directly to the AC outlet with a known good power cable & verify that the fan powers on. (The unit still could be defective, but at least you'll know if it powers on). Plug everything back into the motherboard making sure you have the power connector "clicked" into place & that you confirm 20 or 24 pin connector. try it again. If it doesn't work, you likely have a few blown components on the motherboard.

Power supply converts AC to DC to power fans. It will handle anything from 110v to 240v. You just need to ensure that the plug adapter is correct.

Hello Ryan,I personally used the type of power cord that plugs into the back of a computer. I cut off the end that plugs into the power supply of a computer, removed about 1/2 inch of insulation of the newly exposed wire and connected 2 of the wires to the inline fan. Worked beautifully. Hope this helps.

I still have my Original one (More than 3 years old...) and the plug connection (USB) still works fine for me. The reason I bought a second one is that when the ambient temperature is cool,... the fans (Probably the Bearings...) often make excessive noise untill it runs for a while. So for me,.. the USB connection has NOT been an issue. Hope this may help.
