Fan header repair help needed...

Revtek · 11th August 2008, 9:19 PM

Hey all.

Ive got a Toshiba A10.
When removing the fan for cleaning the 3-pin fan header has broken away from the motherboard. I tried glueing it back into place on the advice of someone else, but with no luck. Then when I removed it again the glue has left a bit of a mess of the header and the small surrounding area of the board.

Obviously, without this I cant connect the fan which means no laptop til I fix it.

Can someone please advise me on how to reattach the fan to the board?

Cheers
