Yeah I got one of those fans too, and I did remove it and try again but it just won't start, if it was a car then it would be the starter motor... it tries, but there's nothing there, basically it's the cooling silicon fluid pouch thingymabobs leaking over the CPU chips. But I'm not messing with that, I've seen the videos on you tube of how to do it, and it can off sod lol I'm gonna take the 2-3 week wait and let someone capable do it
