Fan Hi, My fan is not working, and my power supply heats up. Please advise on what to do. My power supply model is : OKIA-420ATX

Based on the additional information that the power supply fan turns on for a few seconds and then goes off indicates to me you have a motherboard or processor problem. I would have a service center check the computer for you.

its the bearings in the fan starting to pack up, best way is to stop the fan spinning when its on with a small pencil and this should re- align the bearings in the fan and stop the noise, you will need a new powersupply the fan is on the way out, just a temp. fix for you to stop the irritating noise

Yes, the factory provides a 1 year warranty. Since you installed it some 11 months ago I suggest you contact them asap. You'll probably need to provide the serialnumber to them as part of the procedure.

Okia is not actually the full name, the company that makes them is called Broadway Com Corp and their (powersuplly) website is: http://www.bccpc.com/bccpc/power_all.htm

The contact information can be found at: http://www.bccpc.com/bccpc/contact.htm

Is the fan of the power supply still circulating?

If not, your power supply needs replacement.

Could be one of these:
1. Lead Fuse could of blone
2. Fan broken
3. Insted of the power, it could be your motherboard
4. THE WHOLE THING
Im sure your get it fixed soon and i hope me telling you what it could be has helped you.

If you have a standard atx case then any standard atx power supply should work. Yes you can upgrade to one with more wattage as long as it has all the connectors you need. Hope this helps.

IT sounds like the fan bearings are going out already, or have flat spots on them that cause vibration at speed. Try calling the manufacturer and tell them the fan either quit working or is about to quit.

I couldn?t find a web site for Okia either; however, I did note that the venders that sold them usually guaranteed them for one year themselves. I would at least try that route, that and not buy Okia power supplies. There are lots of stories and physical examinations of how poorly they are designed and manufactured.
