I used to work with an engineer who cleaned fans from computers when they stopped. He said they needed to be cleaned from crud and gunk that got in them. So the fellow who suggested cleaning was correct. WD-40 is really not a lubricant, altho it tends to free up some lubes. WD-40 is very fine kerosene! --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A. M. Greeley
