Can you post a pic of the fan’s socket being the wrong size for the board?
Gosh I have no clue how I would begin to picture that. The discernible difference is so small and awkwardly placed in the machine, I would need one of the cameras used for looking in your stomach in surgery. I ended up getting one side of the fan fastened securely and as of now it is working. I’m afraid, though, that without it being reset properly, I will be exploding my CPU.
When you said they are limited to 0.5A no more, would plugging in a mouse to the USB port cause it to stall the entire computer like that? I understand that it was not getting sufficient power, but still that reaction seems very severe to what a tiny action was made.
