    Lexmark x502n cpu fan issues

    The machine's cooling fan has stopped working. it reads an error on the lcd screen stating this, the machine will still print however one of the end users complained of a burning smell. is this just a simple as replacing the fan or are there other things i need to look at? if any one could help me out with a part supplier on this machine that would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Lexmark x502n cpu fan issues

    Most fans are there for a reason...replace it before something overheats. Especially since electronics are the first things fans are meant to keep cool and they are more expensive.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

      Didja ever notice that muffin fans mounted vertical always last longer than fans mounted diagonal or flat? Like the engine fan mounted diagonally on the top of an HP CLJ4600 or a bed fan..... =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Just replace the fan with a passive (without fan) heat sink (bigger is better). It will solve your problem since the CPU is ARM (not Pentium ...).

                  I guess you didn't notice that the original post was in 2009.
