No more BAD SMELL! | ||
Previous Image | Next Image | ||
Description: I bought this A2000 second hand, and it used to smell badly (tobacco). Cleaning everything didn't help, so I had to do this. I guess removing the fan would have the same effect.. Still, some of the (clean) air DOES get through :lol: Picture Stats: Views: 2544 Filesize: 52.24kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: orange at October 02, 2004, 11:51:54 AM Image Linking Codes

orange Posts:2794 | August 05, 2008, 11:01:50 AM um, sorry to disappoint you but I barely used it in those 4 years, its my 'backup' A2000.. I'll use it some more now, and post photos after a while. |

koaftder Posts:2116 | February 04, 2006, 07:42:25 PM whaaa Just let it run for awhile, the smoke smell will go away eventually. When i worked in a rapair shop, i saw all kinds of smoking horrors. Smoking + cats + dusty place == hardcore crust on fans. I saw crap embeded into head sink fins and around fans that were like pummice, no joke. Hard and crusty. |

Failure Posts:332 | October 02, 2004, 03:26:38 PM When I had a smelly computer, I went to Big Lots...it's this closeout store. I bought like 20 coconut air fresheners for a dollar. They overpowered the smell, and hey, the computer room was like my own private island. Or something. |
