Follow up.............

Checked everything we could think of.......from the manual/ from a mechanic friend..........???..........nothing yet.
We have all agreed that the burned out fan motor probably took the puter out also......!!

I should have the new one in this weekend....if it doesn't snow!!??

30 degrees and 40 mph wind.....geez!

I'll report the results of the new pc.............Ol'Ben
