Comment Cpu fans (Score 1) 307
Actually no PC/Mac ever failed completely on me.
I have one SCSI drive that makes the bus hang, so I had to remove it to boot a comluter from 1997
The only thing I replaced often on one of my old
PCs was the CPU fan
Since I switched back to Macs, 2003 or so, and I only have Laptops, there was only one incident with a 12" Mac Book Pro from like 2004/2005 where a small doughter board on top of the motherboard burned out.
An underground shop, http://www.apfelklinik.de/ fixed it by replacing the motherboard and the doughterboard ofc. for an apple and an egg
