The boards often have extra pins printed on them, but generally they're for pre-production testing, or programmer's interfaces and stuff. I would just try letting it sit for a while like that one guy said... Also open it up and make sure the HD and DC board is connected to the motherboard. It sounds like possibly the DC/Monitor board isn't connected to the motherboard, and if the fan is connected to the DC board, that would make sense. You might test the Pram battery for a charge. As a side note, my Plus works just fine without the Pram battery installed, not sure if the same goes for the Classic... Anyone know for sure?
