Upgraded eMac, now fan won't work

Hello,
I just upgraded my son's eMac - put in 1GB RAM, Pioneer DVD-R drive and 320 GB hard drive.
All the upgrades work just fine (and he is very happy), but now the fan won't work. I've checked and double-checked the connections - there were two connections that I've unplugged and plugged in three times. The fan can spin if I flick it, so it is not impeded in any way.
Any ideas?
eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Yes, the fan was operating fine because it was so loud you couldn't miss it.
I appreciate Roam's comments, but my electrical engineering background is spotty. I understand that it is either the fan or the connection to the fan, but I have not the tools nor the knowledge to connect a battery to see if the connection is good.
What I can't figure out is what went wrong. There are only two connections coming from the fan unit, and one is actually the power supply that goes to the electrical plug (which is part of the fan unit). That one is obviously working fine because the computer powers up. The other one is this simple looking small snap-in connector that seems like a total no-brainer to attach. It's not something that could even easily get bent or anything.
I'm obviously missing something important, or the fan picked a really weird time to stop working.
For now he's shutting the computer down when it feels hot. I'm sure that's not a good solution.

  • I accidentally installed the Digital Publishing Suite upgrade, and now DPS won't work with my CS5.5. Is there a way to get the previous version?

    I have tried to re-install the previous version several times, but I still get the error message:
    I even went to the originally downloaded extension & used it to install DPS, but that didn't work. 

    No. As that message states, DPS is no longer supported in CS5 or CS5.5. This was announced months ago.

    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  What version of Safari do I need?

    I finally got around to updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  It was version 4.0.5.  I know I should of upgraded prior but didn't need to because everything was working.  Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
    If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
    Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install  Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard

  • Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

    I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail.  Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

  • Did the iTunes update & now it won't work at all!

    I downloaded the iTunes update 2 days ago, and now iTunes won't work because it needs 10.4.9+ & all I have is 10.4.8
    I tried to download the 'Combo' 10.4.11 but it crashed my system (the 'Restart' hung with turning wheel for over 2 hours) & I had to reboot from disk at the cost of several hours.
    I only use iTunes for listening to the radio worldwide, nothing else. I have no iPod, have no purchased music.
    Is there any way to uninstall the update? iTunes was just fine for me before the update.
    Or, is there any way to install the 10.4.11 from a friend's disks? - since it's just an 'Update' which is available online, it doesn't sound like it would be illegal, but I want to keep "Kosher". I am assuming that even though the downloaded update crashed my system, loading from disk should work.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am not very computer literate, so the simpler the better!
    -Erik

    Finally solved the problem by going back to an older version of iTunes, which I found on FileHippo.com - I chose version 7.0 since I had no idea what older version I used to have.
    The uninstall was the hard part, but these instructions did the trick:
    http://www.oldapps.com/forum/showpost.php?p=925&postcount=34
    Even then, when I got the "iTunesSetup.exe", clicking on it got the message:"iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a later version of iTunes". Apparently some fragment of the "update was hiding somewhere.
    I finally solved this by right-clicking (option+click) on it.
    So now I have iTunes back & have no need for the "Combo Update"
    At this point, having had a week of frustration from that worse-than-useless "Update", I have no intention of messing with any more "Updates". This computer is, and will remain a 10.4.8 machine.
