Fmake new clips with pieces of sheetmetal. Bend them up, bolt them down and cover them with tape just to be sure they won't short something.
For the fan, peel the lable off the frame side and you'll see a plug. Pop the plug out and you'll find a metal or plastic snap ring. That can be pried out with a small screwdriver or pocket knife. Then the fan will come out of the frame. Now you can lube the shaft. Silicone oil is the perfect thing. Some laser printers and photocopiers used a silicone oil for the fusers, a drop of silicone brake fluid may work too. Just a tiny drop, enough to put a film on the shaft, will do. It clings in a thin film to many surfaces. Silicone oil or fluid is the best thing for computer fan lube because it can take heat far higher than the inside of a computer will ever be, unless it's on fire. It also doesn't lose the compounds and chemicals that keep it fluid and slippery like most other oils and greases do. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
