<p>Considering slot/board alignment, ribbon cable, sensor and poor
visibility when attempting either a board change or fan swap on a
VFX Flex Power 3 or 4, if you're doing it on one of the FX's in
the middle, leaving on the wall may not work out so well. Might
be time to pull it off.<br>
</p>
<p> Jerry, so is the nylon wire tie idea to allow the
casting to push in the ribbon cable a little as the case slides
past it without catching on it?</p>
<p> And I think it was Ray about replacing boards when
the fan dies. I've had fans die in 5-6 years and boards last 15+
years though it does depend on how old everything is and the
condition of those pesky relay covers. Both boards are a lot more
money than just the fan if the situation doesn't qualify for
yanking boards.<br>
