Hello All,

It began when I bought a computer from Tiny, very cheaply (c. £700 "Tiny Thunder"). Same computer elsewhere would be from £1,200.

There was a CATCH of course: You have to get their support for £1/hour.

Having an experience with computers for a couple of years I felt confident that I will not need their support and was very happy when computer arrived.  

When unpacking the machine and taking it out of the box I hear some suspicious rattling inside if computer is slightly shaken.  On opening it was a CPU fan hanging by just one pin.  They have collected the computer and replaced it.

But recently computer packed up again.  This time it does not even boot up.  Screen does not react absolutely.  CPU fan though is working at high speed and nothing else happens.  If I leave it on it goes on like this forever.  Apparently CPU fan is the only thing that works in this computer at the moment.

The computer features a “Musketeer” unit that probably controls temperature for the fan.

Does anybody have any idea what could stand behind the PROBLEM?
Any one else had an experience of “Tiny” machines?

Thanks

I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like all the power is going to the fan.....

Does anything else make any movement (other than the fan)?  


--------------------
I like work......to an extent... otherwise, I'm just plain lazy.
-------------------It may sounds silly, but it is another fan which is attached to "Musketeer" and POWERED by it.
PSU unit has fan as well.

The CPU fan was rotating so wildly usually during first couple of seconds of booting up, but then become LESS noisy.  Now fan ROTATES  always as if computer is about to bootup, but nothing is happening
