Hello folks, yet another issue with my computer :| The big fan has stopped working on the case, Now I did take the side panels out to sort the back mesh guards out and had to unplug both fans now when plugging both fans back in the little fan on the other side of the case works fine but the big fan has stopped working, now I'm a little worried about it in case it's something i've done whether i've plugged it in the wrong cable etc or whether it's the actual fan thats stopped working itself. Just wanting to see if i can fix it myself before i have to contact PCS about it. Thanks :)

Computer description is in my sig :)

You may have not connected it to the correct cable or header :) Is it connected to a molex? Or the mobo?

it's connected to a molex, The little was connected to the black conecter with the white molex adapter (I think :S) And I plugged the big fan into the other black connecter without the adapter like it was when it arrived.

Hi Jonny,

Could you please confirm whether the big fan is connected via a 3 pin motherboard fan connector or a molex cable?

If by Molex please note that the connectors (especially fans using pass through molex) can be very tempremental. You may have accidentally pushed one of the female connectors out of the plastic housing when connecting it, thus not forming a proper connection.

The black adapter I meant was actually the power connecter from the power supply. And i'll get the pictures right up :) Because I'm not sure if to plug the big fan into the female connector of the little fan?
