Fan came off the graphics card
I got a free computer from a friend. This thing was in terrible condition. But I've managed to repair most of it and it turns on and works now. So far I've only sunk $20 into it and I'm happy. But the one thing I haven't been able to fix is the GPU fan falling off the GPU. I'm not sure what to use to reattach it - I can only assume it has to be very adhesive and must be able to withstand and conduct heat. I'm just not sure what material can provide that. The graphics card doesn't have screw holes, nor does the fan, so it has to be this holding it.
I hope someone has an idea or has experienced this before. Thank you for any ideas. Tucker |

I'm not sure what to use to reattach it You need the old-fashioned type of PC shop, with the experience to diagnose immediately on the counter without charge, and the honesty to tell you which repairs are cheapest. Big box stores do not offer this service. (This city has a dozen big box PC stores and two or three of the old-fashioned type.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
