It works again!

It was weird though. The only accessible points to solder on the motor assembly circuit board were the 4 legs of some little component that was mounted on top. It was one of those or nothing, so I used an ohm-meter to pick out the likely candidate, soldered the wire to it ... and it didn't work no-how. So, removed the wire, tried it without solder on the other 3 legs. There were some signs of life, but nothing consistent. Finally I tried the original leg again, and now it seemed to work well. . So I soldered it back on the same place again, put it together, a few drops of oil on the fan, and it all seems to work good now. Now I fixed what I broke and can get back to the other problems.

Thanks again to BSDfan666, I owe you a virtual brewski.
