That darn fan...

[PCBudgetSolutions]

So a friend of mine and my dads who we work with (until I lost my job) was supposed to pay me 400 every 2 weeks for 6 weeks for a PC.  I wasn't charging labor because he always helps me out.  I ordered everything on credit and built it back in December.  Well he had to help his mother with 4,000 in back taxes and could only manage to pay me 100 every 2-4 weeks which was fine.  I assembled it back in January and tested it was recent as March.  Today he was coming with my dad on their launch with the final payment to pick it up.  Well that's where the fun ends.

 

I hook it up, everything runs fine except the front 140MM intake blue LED fan was NOT working.  After an hour of rewiring everything twice, i realized the 3 pin>molex cable was bad and replaced it from my PC.  Bam it works, but the LED won't turn on.  After another hour of screwing with it, I plugged my 140MM fan in and it has an LED switch on it and it works, but the screws are slightly rusted and WON'T go back in and they will be here in 2 minutes.  Dad said get the old fan back in (which was not easy, SOO MUCH force required onto those screws) despite the system being 4-5 months old but I got it in.  He doesn't know the front fan has an LED, it's a CM II 690 case.  Well after going over everything, showing him the inside and such my dad shows him the power and reset switch then asks what is this button with a bulb...  "DING DING DING the lightbulb turns on" Thats the button to turn the front LED on... I tested it there to be sure to show him, but what a fricken morning.  Luckily my 3 pin on my rear fan is long enough to reach a connector on the board, his was not.  Took a TON of force to get the screws back in that my hand it still shaking.  Mind you I work out 3 days a week and pretty strong LOL.
