My Presario V2000 recently started shutting down at random times. I figured it was the fan and it needed to be clean. Well, I was right, but when I went to disconnect the fan wire from the system board the little white clip that was hooked to the system board came off with the wire and now it is disconnected with no way to reconnect it to the system board.
The fan was really dirty and I cleaned it but I have no clue if the fan is completely shot or if it works now since I cannot reconnect it to the system board.
I either need to test the fan and see if it words and if it doesn't get a new one and figure out a way to connect it to the system board again OR I need to find an economic use for the notebook since I cannot use it without the fan because the system automatically shuts down when it passes a certain temperature.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
