Maestro C fan failure

Sergey KN7K

Today during reading news and sitting in front of my 6600+Maestro, sudden noise started coming from Maestro C. Turned off Maestro - noise is gone, turned On Maestro - noise starting during initialization. Rotated maestro, at some angles noise is less noticeable at some more. 1 hour later noise is gone while I am typing that message.

It seems like a Fan inside is failed?

Did anyone had it yet, or I am the first lucky one? Maestro C is 2 month old.

Ticket is opened.

I don't know what the intake/outlet on the Maestro looks like, but is it possible something foreign has infiltrated from outside and is rubbing on the blades???

Sergey KN7K

Do not think so. My desk is pretty clean, nothing can get inside besides normal dust and I keep my office pretty clean. Anyway, yesterday noise was coming on and going away, today it is gone. I did shut down and power up again for testing - no noise today. Seems like started to show up intermittently.

Working with Tim from Flex to see what will be next steps.

Thanks,

Sergey

So, does the Maestro-C actually have an internal fan?

Sergey KN7K

It does have a small CPU fan. My maestro will go to Flex service. The noise is intermittent and coming on and off few times during the day.

Great support from Flex (and especially Tim !) .
