Hello everyone, I have an xbox 360 slim with ace v3 mod chip and a flashed dvd drive. I've been using it for 3 to 4 years up until now I powered it on only to realize the fan wasn't spinning. Its easy to see and it was working fine up until yesterday and now sometimes the fan will try to spin, do a round and turn off but the xbox itself is working fine. I opened it up, there is dust but no major catastrophe, cleaned it and checked the voltages to see if the problem is in the fan or the xbox. This is where it gets confusing, the fan is running if I power it with a 9v battery using the ground and 12v pin and the xbox is giving it 12 volts as well but it doesn't run when plugged into the xbox. I'm stuck as to where the problem is since the fan runs outside the xbox but not when powered by the xbox. I also can't seem to find if the slim ever had a pattern of cooling where the fan turns off if cooling is not required and I don't remember anything fo the sort either. Please guide I need urgent help. Edit: after some trouble shooting I found that the fan would start running if I set the speed above 40 as a fan override. Below 45 the fan just turns off. Does this mean the fan is at fault or the console?

[ Post Update: This is not an F3 Issue as suspected. If you get this same error and you've altered your fan settings or not, my advice is to check your fan settings via FSD or DashLaunch, check the side of the xbox to see if air is blowing out as well as other troubleshooting steps ] I changed the speed of my fan on my Xbox 360 s (Trinity) to 70% a few days back, then after powering off the console going back onto F3 and changed it back to Auto. Its quite possible that F3 may have saved a setting somewhere where the fan speed changed be from 70 to 0. When I powered the xbox on, the fan did not come on, at all. I've no idea what caused this, i deleted F3, reinstalled, no fix, so I just flashed the dashboard again and that fixed it. Of course, I didnt see the fan didnt come on, so took it off, instaleld new thermal paste then after powering up the console with the case open I noticed the fan didn't spin. Not sure if this glitch was on F3 or other but if you change your fan speed, keep an eye on the temp.
