[sdiy] rigol scope fan noise!!

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Yeah, clean or - replace it.  I would NEVER just disconnect a fan on any commercial
equipment.  The engineers don't put parts into a device that are not _required_.  If
you disconnect it, there's a strong likelyhood that something more expensive than a fan
will be next to "go".
