BigJohnnyBKK Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 A couple of cable ties securing the front and back modules together should offer extra piece (peace )of mindAm never sure which piece is the correct peace in this saying ...maybe somebody will enlighten me You're just taking the piss, I suspect. You really think so? Oh the subtleties of commonwealth humour, if so then he suckered me right in didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegee Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My Hatari fan, about 2 years old, is making a noise now as it turns side-to-side. It shouldn't be doing that and it's annoying. What next? No more Hataris for me. This one is easily fixed....spray WD40 on the plastic cog that make it oscillate....had the same problem. If the wd40 doesnt work, someone has forced the fan too far to one side....open the fan and check. Put the position in the correct place, and grease or oil til it beds in again....besides they arent expensive, so buy a new one if concerned...

ThaiFelix Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Same thing happened to me, also while I was teaching at home. Thought the rotten spoilt brat had poked a pencil in it first but no. Now I understand. Funniest? story I have heard here about fans was when a mate was in Cambodia and he noticed some guys catching fish at the edge of a lake. On closer inspection he discovered they were throwing scraps in the water to attract them and then throwing an electric fan (live) into the water to electricute them. After a few moments they would unplug the fan and retrieve the fish before starting again. They must've had fencing wire in the fuse box to handle that!
