I have worked on two Asus boards this past week, one with dead fans and one
with dead video on board. I removed the batterys in both. I tested and
replaced them. The one with the dead video was able to use an add on PCI
video card and come to life and the one with the dead fans started up fine!
In my part of the world, we have no rain for 8 months. When the rainy
season returns it really affects electrical parts. Removing your battery or
shorting the pins as called for in the motherboard manual will reset your
BIOS and possible the fans could come on. Just a thought.

Nas, If you have no voltage on any of the fan pins, and there is no place in
the bios to disable the fans, then it has to be a defective motherboard. I
have several Asus motherboards, not the model that you have, and have never
had any problem with them. Check in the bios and make sure that your fans
are inabled and then contact Asus, most of their motherboards have a 3 year
warranty on them. Contact their tech support and hopefully they have your
answer..... Kenny Dixie Computers

Subject: [PCBUILD] All fans are not running
Hi to all, I have a PC with the following: MB - ASUS A7V-E CPU - AMD Athlon
900 RAM - 512 Meg CDROM PCI Video card, Audigy Sound card and NIC card
installed. OS - Win 98 and everything worked fine until I moved the mobo to
a bigger case in order to accomodate a DVD drive.
I moved everything including the power supply. I then installed ASUS Probe
software that monitors temp, fan etc. Now all the fans are not running,
including CPU fan. I checked the power supply 12 volts and it is there
giving 12.5 volt. But the pin on any fan connectors on mobo does not have
any voltage. I uninstalled the ASUS PROBE and the fans still not running.
I went through ASUS web site and I could not find any answer to the problem.
Other than the fans, the PC works just fine. I used another fan over the CPU
by connecting it to power supply spare connector. I wonder if anyone else
has ever had this problem and can point me to the solution.
Thank you all. Nas Nasrull (this is my full name, given at birth)
