Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Well, have sat on this for several days, hoping for a better idea to hit me, in order to avoid having to buy the single local option available whose price is clearly a monumental rip-off. Assuming still no better 💡 by post-dinner tonight, i shall just have to swallow my annoyance, hold my nose, & allow myself to be ripped-off, otherwise, still no working pooter.

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Initial results rather dispiriting. I need only the new fan & motor, not the heatsink too, but so far all results i've found for apparently right model are for the complete combo. Any bare fans/motors so far are all the wrong models. Additional irritant; heaps of results are for Amazon listings, & i will never under any circumstances support that terrible company. Shall go & sulk over dinner & movie, then resume later.

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:All this gobbledegook is on the dodgy cooling fan's centre hub face:<ul><li>Intel </li><li>E97378-001 </li><li>CNSH4492M4 </li><li>F90T12NS1B7-64A01C1 </li><li>DC12V 0.28A </li><li>NIDEC</li></ul>Otoh this cpu info is on my 2015 Invoice for once-happy now-sad pooter:<ul><li>CPU Intel Core i7-4790 3.6Ghz 8Mb Cache S1150</li></ul>Methinks i'll begin feeding the latter info into my search engine, & use the basically unintelligible-to-me [except its first & fifth lines] former info to hopefully corroborate any hits, if necessary. <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SadPooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SadPooter</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/overheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overheat</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpu</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/coolingfan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coolingfan</a>

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Tis half-past pumpkin-hour, & i'm about to go beddybyes, after a day that did not go anything like i had expected. All plans went out the window Sat morn when during the beginning of my day's pooterising, i suddenly noticed via my Plasma desktop widget, & my <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Conky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Conky</a>, that the cpu temperature was ~30-40 deg C hotter than normal, & the reason was that its cooling fan was stopped. Bummer. I immediately put pooter to sleep, to cool down, whilst i planned my actions. Once ready, i woke her up again, inserted my USB stick on which i do my weekly [Sunday] backups, & ran a backup a day early, whilst i nervously watched the temperature. Then fully shutdown, waiting for Sunday when i shall attempt to inspect the fan to see if it's buggered, or [hopefully] just gummed up with dust that i can clean out. However, i have various things i need to do online [bills & stuff], so coz atm the prognosis for pooter is uncertain, i chose to plan on a worst-case scenario where she's unavailable for days or weeks. Hence, the rest of today was spent getting out my venerable old 2011 lappy, doing the backlog of [<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plasma</a>] updates, transferring all my pooter's backed-up data from stick to lappy's SSD, then re-customising all my main app settings to get the form & function more or less the same as i have on my <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchLinux</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plasma</a> pooter. I really can't quite believe all the hours this cumulative process has taken, OMZ. Not whingeing, just quite tired now, & still a bit discombobulated.<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/overheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overheat</a>
