Message: Subject: gateway AVC model c6025b12l By: ben (IP: 67.170.247.*) Written on: 09-02-2006 03:25 I recently upgraded my memory and at the same time unclipped the cooling unit and cleaned the dust off, after I replaced the the fan the computer will not turn on. It acts as though it is running normal but nothing appears on the monitor. I have checked all connections again and again and even tried the monitor with another computer and it works fine. Any tips on what I did to break it and how I might fix it? This URL shows a pic of the cooling unit, it also has a bunch of small pins on the bottom. http://mediaplace.nl/forum/about106407.html[URL] Thank you for any help, Ben
