i was in my mothers house today, and i confirm that the shaky picture is caused by the fan.

i disconnected it to test, and a perfect picture was there.
no more shaking...

i think i will leave it disconnected instide, but place a new fan over the psu..

It would be nice to figure out what went wrong in these fans, because they originally did not cause tremors, I have some cabs with working original ones and the pic does not shake.
I will try to investigate this. ;)

i did not check the grounding that andre was speaking about  :oops:

but it sounds plausible that that is the cause..

I did re-route the signalcable from the board to the monitor to check if the interference was caused there, but it was not..

@Belike, look if there is some capacitor on the fan. That may have gone bad, but I doubt there is one.

Again, the grounding is essential, without grounding the metal shield, you may as well just remove the shield.
