Hello, I hope you're all well, I have a HP EliteDesk 800 35W G2 Desktop Mini PC, the NVME was getting very hot so installed the mini fan that fits in the caddy just above, then it stopped and will not power up again! Presume I've blown a fuse, but don't know.
Does the community have any ideas?

Not aware of the motherboard having any fuses as such. You really should have bought and applied a heat sink for the NVMe stick -- I have one on mine. You can try removing the fan, if you have not already, and seeing if that fixes it. If it does not, my guess would be the fan shorted something out -- and that would most likely then require a new motherboard.

Hi WAWOOD, yes now have a heat sink & new motherboard, well just a new bare bones unit as there so cheap. I took the fan out, but it still didn't work on old unit, I wonder if the fan came from a 65watt g2 had anything to do with it?! Jusy going to check on temps now.
Thanks for your support.
