The cooler part of my two fans are about the only thing that has kept on working. I have returned by fans to the manufacturer at least four times for repairs which is about the only thing you can do if you are having a problem. Wish I had a better answer for you. If you are under warranty, they will do the repairs for free but it is pretty inconvenient having to box up and return the fan. Give them a call and they will send you a UPS label so you can ship it back at no charge. Hope this helps.

Well if your computer shuts off from over heating. That's usually the first sign. Also if you take off the processor fan and the compund is starting to crack or crumble, you should probably replace it. It would probably be best to check for the latter before the former happens.

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!

The fans are screw mounted, so should be replaceable. To replace may require splicing of 2 power wires into 1 or use of an adapter cable.

I would honestly contact Noctua support. IIRC this cooler comes with extra clips for a second fan. If you damaged a clip or were shorted one, I'm sure these guys will replace it. The cooler comes with a 6-year warranty and I've read countless occasions about their customer service being second to none. So I'd say start there! http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=support&lng=en

Not sure exactly what "broke" means. There are 2 parts, a fan and a heating element. If both are not working, it must not be getting power. If 1 part is not working, you probably have to try contacting the manufacturer. Good luck.

Fyi people, if your system is already overheating this isn't going to stop it! You need to open it up, clean it and inspect to ensure your internal fans still work.

Just plug it in and flip the switch, should be all it takes, if it isn't working Amazon and Corsair both have great customer service (in my experience) so it can be replaced no problem. Do note that if it isn't hooked up to a motherboard or shorted (at your own risk) it won't actually put out power due to a connection detecting pin. It is possible to short said pin and plug in a fan or something to test it but I wouldn't necessarily suggest that.

Make sure the blue plugs are together for cooling. Otherwise you might have to send in for a new plug

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws.

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

Mine does also so i think your ok. thats probably the internal transformer or internal cooling fan. check with the manufacture to be sure.

That is I believe your cooling fan Not working properly. It is behind the lamp at the back of the TV. Fairly easy access.
