In Reply to: Does the power supply fan always run ??? posted by Robert McElwee on 17, 2000 at 8:56 PM:
: I noticed my work in progress mame cabinet's arcade power supply was not turning this morning. I turned the machine off and back on again and saw that the fan only turned for about 2-3 seconds at startup. I replaced the fan with a new one and it does the same thing. Is there some sort of temp sensor in there that turns it on? Thanks...

The power supply fan should always be running. Any interuption to the air flow can cause sensitive components to degrade or fail.
