Just bought one of those from Overclockers, but the TiVo won't turn it. I guess because of the reduced voltage.Originally posted by blindlemon
I have a PAPST 8412N in my main TiVo and it's certainly quieter than the Panaflo![]()
A quick google shows that tekheads.co.uk sell the Noiseblocker fans.Ziggy Stardust said:The Papst 8412N is no longer available, and the link to the Noiseblocker is dead.
Can anyone recommend a fan that will work ok without any of the start up voltage problems previously discussed.
Before you buy a new one, I recommend opening the case and blowing the dust out and giving the fan itself a light dusting with a brush.Ziggy Stardust said:I'm a newbie, but have been lurking since buying my Tivo a month ago. The fan has recently become rather noisy (it starts up quietly but after 30 seconds it vibrates with an annoying resonance) and I'd like to replace it.
