I have in my hands, a Delta AFB0712MB.
It is the stock fan from a Socket 478 cooler - this came from an old Compaq system.
The fan exhibits no sign of failed bearings - when hand-spun it doesn't vibrate or rattle.
But when plugged in to a power supply or motherboard, it just won't start.
What are the chances that a broken wire (internally) could be the casue of this?
I'm not about to rip open the motor sticker because in the event that this fan is salvageable, I'll find a use for it.
So is there any other way to get to the cause of this problem?
