Message-ID: <1650@pt.cs.cmu.edu> Date: 10 May 88 18:56:37 GMT Sender: netnews@pt.cs.cmu.edu Reply-To: mjw@f.gp.cs.cmu.edu (Michael Witbrock) Organization: Carnegie-Mellon University, CS/RI Lines: 20 Keywords: A few days ago I (force majure - I had to remove temptation so I could take an exam ) I turned my 2000 off. After I turned it on again, the fan started acting strangely. It slows down and speeds up. When It slows down, it sounds like the computer is dying, and is therefore RATHER alarming. Do I need to get the fan replaced, or is this harmless (I already had to get the power supply replaced which took 3weeks). On a sidenote: Commodore should give serious consideration to having their machines made in a country which a) has a reputation for quality (Japan, West Germany etc) and b) doesn't pay what are tantamount to slave wages. My 1000, made in Japan, has run faultlessly for 2years. My 2000 has had two hardware problems in less than 6 months. michael -- Michael.Witbrock@cs.cmu.edu mjw@cs.cmu.edu \ US Mail: Michael Witbrock/ Dept of Computer Science \ Carnegie Mellon University/ Pittsburgh PA 15213-6890/ USA /\ Telephone : (412) 268 3621 [Office] (412) 441 1724 [Home] / \
