Just the same as on a PC, to ensure it's spinning, and shut down if it's not.
You couldn't see it because the projector's board is on top of it and all I could see was the wires.
Those wires could have been anything it was very hard to spot. Plus it also ran.
But based on the wobbling I observed while spinning it by hand seemed that it would spin but slowly ? Until I power it up and figure it out I guess I'll never know.
Besides who care's right ? it's just a fan right ? what the big deal anyway Right ?
Well in this case.
The guy who originally diagnosed it as a (Power Block Assembly) we paid him $50.00 for nothing in the end he would have ripped us off.
He would have wanted $450.00 for the repair.
In addition I have about 100 said projectors here. And they are just sitting around. All over campus.
(Seems to me $39.00 x 100 = $3.900 Working Projectors.)
(or $450.00 x 100 = $45,000 not working collecting dust because not in the budget.)
That's why there just sitting around gathering dust or being robbed of there bulbs for part's.
And instead of replacing the projectors they will now go back into service. Parts x my hourly rate paid for by the University.
How many other campuses are there and how many projectors like this one are there ?
