While it is upside down and you hit it, try kicking it also as this may cure all your problems.
Good luck. |

1st, open computer case and see if a cable is against a fan. Are you sure it's the power supply fan? If your power supply fan is going out you will need to replace it immediately as when it stops your power supply will cook off pretty fast. If you need to replace the power supply fan you will need to splice wires. Use solder and heat shrink or liquid electrical tape. Leave the power supply unpluged for a day to make sure the capacitors have discharged before opening it.

Yea the fan in my Compaq PSU was soldered in. But like Rich M said, it's a crappy 200W PSU that came with the compaq. The fan stopped working and i just cut the wires in the middle and connected the wires from the replacement fan.
