Is there a way to repair the power supply fan? [psu] [power supply]

2011-05-25 / Computer Help / 0 Comments

Q: I have a diet that still works but the fan does not turn anymore. I took the PSU apart to look at the fan. I tried to spin the blade, but its really tight. Is there a way to solve the problem? Otherwise it is possible for another PSU fan? I went to a bunch of stores today, and they all said I needed to get a new PSU.
thanks
