Fan running right powering

[richardphat 0]

I had this issue since I accidentally screwed up.

It's not a dramatic issue and to be honest I could live with it. It began when I start installing the Ulticontrol kit. I could nicely adjust the fan speed, forcing to run or turning off. Until that day, I managed to short circuit the fan connection.

Don't ask me how, I just did it by connecting another fan. The whole machine shut itself down. I then re-power and realize the fan was starting right off the bat. Now, I can no longer control the fan speed and I can't turn it off.

Do I have to reinstall the firmware?

Edit:

I tried to reset to default through the menu already :(

You blew up the darlingont resistor: Q4. It's near the fan cable connector on the circuit board. I recommend you get another from digikey.com and replace it yourself.

Part number BD679.
