Fan Problems

Hmm weird. Does it work alright if you unplug it? Or try plugging it into USB but don't put it under the laptop. Does it work then?

Try plugging it in when external power is applied.
 
I can't use external power. I can't unplug it.

It doesnt work not under my laptop...

Any other troubleshooting ideas?

thanks :D
 
Okay, if you dissconnect it from the bottom but still have it powered up, does the laptop work?
Or does it only work when connected through the bottom?...
 
The usb power is current limited. If you exceed the limit it will shut off the port till you reboot. It would appear the fan's start up surge is past the limit. But it shouldn't be over the limit. Might want to swap it out for another one.
