Fanny Mac Rehab?

[Admiral Ackbar]

Hey all. I have a Fanny Mac that is noisy (like the fan is not working well) and the switch-light flickers (like the LED is not working well).

Can anyone with real hardware knowledge point me in the right direction for a replacement part or service? I opened it up and it's not a standard x-mm square fan, and I'm really unsure about the power supply part.

Thanks for all ideas!

Got photos?

If the switch is clear plastic, and it glows orange or green, it probably contains a 1/2 NE-2 neon bulb. Not really designed for bulb replacement, but it's usually not too hard once you remove the switch from whatever it's mounted in. Last time I re-lamped a switch, I had to use a orange bulb, because green doesn't seem to be made anymore.

Have you tried cleaning and lubricating the fan? Often only one bearing will be readily accessible, requiring some disassembly in order to access the other bearing. Like the switch, these parts were generally intended to be replaced rather than refurbished, but that doesn't mean it can be done.
