hello all! I'm experiencing technical difficulties with my cpu fan.
I noticed that it wasn't spinning just rocking back and forth slightly every 10 seconds or so.
So I decided to do some troubleshooting and discovered that it will only spin if I lay my computer on its side. Has anyone else experienced this? The fan doesn't feel loose or anything. Idk what could cause this other than it being loose and I couldn't find anything mentioning this problem on Google. I'm hoping someone on here can enlighten this noob in distress.
 
Solution
Hello... Fans are a mechanical device and will wear out such as you described... post the label and image of it... take MM measurement WxH ... and maybe we can get a Low cost New one for you.
