If the fan isn't running (it's not excessively loud, but there should be no doubt) get a replacement. The rev.B fan will be inactive under only two circumstances... 1) your iMac is turned off; or 2) the fan is faulty. It may simply be that the fan has accumulated enough spooge to prevent it from starting (it's a very low torque device) when power is applied. Unless you can give it a proper cleaning, replacement is the preferable option. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc. San Antonio, Texas -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
