Q10 pro - fan started to rattle
« on: August 31, 2017, 03:16:17 PM »
Hi all,

long time reader, first time poster here.

I bought the Q10 pro about a year ago.
As of late once I power up the Q10pro the fan starts to rattle quite loud.
After a while the fan becomes quiter but the rattling continues about every 15 minutes.

Does anyone have a idea how to fix it?

Thanks

Mine was sizzling, right after purchase. Did send back to Futeko and the second Q10 Pro they've send was sizzling just as the previous one. (HA-HA).

Tipp: If the warranty is off, than you may try to swap the fan for a better (and compatible one). Voltage/CFM/RPM and size parameters will all matter. You must choose carefully, so will not be an easy run... (Please, Update in this Thread if you find something useful...) Guess Futeko will gladly inform you towards regarding these parameters...

There's no easy fix for this, either you disassemble the fan and lubricate the bearing (temporary fix but could last a very long time) or replace the fan.

Try tightening/loosening the screws on the back panel fixing the fan to the casing. It's more likely the screws attaching the fan to the case have worked loose than a fault with the fan itself.

The fan on Q10 Pro is usually quiet.

Mine was sizzling

What does that mean? Burning up?!

You might mean 'rattle' more than 'sizzle'?

If you got two Q10 Pros with rattling fans then you are extremely unlucky. The fan is quiet and of good quality.

Referring to that dictionary "sizzle" would express more like the effect. Maybe it's used more often in a different meaning in everyday spoken English, but it's still not inappropriate...

Ok, let's skip it anyway...
