Hey gang-
The other night my Operation Thunderbolt's monitor just shut off. Everything else on the game was still fine (audio, marquee, buttons). I popped the back off & saw that the monitor's fan was barely moving and making a soft "click-click"... I turned the power off and reached in near the fan and it was extremely hot on the metal parts around the fan. Aside from replacing the fan, I need to troubleshoot what failed in the heat so I can replace it. Any guidance or suggestions on what/where to check first (and so on) would be great. I'm hoping it's something simple like a fail-safe that pops if (when) there's an overheat.
I pulled the monitor out...
Here's the fan I'll be removing...
This was the metal part that was extremely warm... (the silver/grey parts)
Another view of the board...
Thanks!
