power supply fan won't start

[John Kennedy]

I recently replaced the power supply on my system because the fanno longer worked, and now the new power supply's fan won't run for me....any ideas?

it isn't a smart fan just a basic 300 watt power supply

Hi,

If the fan in the PSU won't run, return/exchange it.

Is this when it's plugged into the board? Some power supply fans don't work
unless something is actually drawing power.

Agreed with the others. You should return it to the vendor because you
should never ever ever repair a power supply on your own.

Good grief, Why not repair it?

Because there are capacitors in there that can cause a dangerous shock.

If the new unit failed so fast it was either defective or the system is
either shorted out or hardly loading one of the voltages at all.

If opened the supply would no longer be returnable or qualify for any
manufacturer's warranty. Unfortunately the retailer or manufacturer
wount really be able to tell if the power supply or computer is causing
the problem, one of the risks of users doing their own hardware service.
