My wife has a Dell Dimension 8400 desktop computer, and the fan on her PSU is starting to fail. Every few days/weeks the fan will begin to emit a loud buzzing noise. So far my solution has been to tap the fan blades with the end of a plastic straw, which briefly slows the fan down and causes the noise to completely stop. Obviously this is not a good long-term solution.
Can I fix the existing fan? If not, how easy would it be for me to swap out the fan inside the PSU with a new one? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
