The fan wire is routed from the fan (duh) around the main power PCB to the bottom brains board. Sometimes, the wires can chafe against the main PCB and cause partial breakage. Or could be the connector is not fully inserted. Or could be the fan is simply on its way out (dirty bearings, etc).

When/if you get the "official" directions on how to open the case, post the email and I'll create a new thread and make it a sticky. Most of us have opened the case without incident, but the little tabs are fragile and can snap fairly easily. I know the instructions for doing this has already been posted here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go looking for it right now. IIRC, it was posted by a CC tech/rep.
