Question PC case fan stopped working

[Quemero658]

Hi,

Yesterday I had to restart the PC a couple of times and noted a couple of changes once I turned it on today:

• The PC case fan stopped working, it's directly connected to the PSU.
• The "P" LED next to the power button (see the attached photo) stopped flashing, it used to be constantly on before.
• The front LED of the case changed to yellow (used to be blue before) which I don't think it's a coincidence.

Everything else seems to be working fine, I would ignore it if it wasn't for the case fan as I play lots of games and I don't want the PC to overheat. I tried connecting the fan to another PSU connector and it still not working. What do you think? Can the PSU become faulty for restarting a couple of times? The PC case is a Hannever one btw. Thanks!

Sounds like you need a new PSU.

First thing to check is if fan is still alive. What kind of fan it is? What other cables it has and were any of them connected anywhere?

The fan is more likely to fail than the PSU!

It's the integrated PC case cooler fan:



It has only one 4-pin connector which is connected to the PSU, it has no other cables:

So your next step is to replace it.

It has only one 4-pin connector which is connected to the PSU, it has no other cables:

In that case I see no way it could affect LEDs behavior on the case.
