Fan keep running - AHT doesn't work
I have an 24" core 2 duo, 3,0g ghz iMac from 2008, now running OSX vers 9.1. A great machine, almost a member of our family by now.
But a few days ago a fan started to run constantly. I think it is the one located on the lower left side of the machine.
According to a 'Cooler Controller' from the App Store the temp is low and shouldn't need any constant fan cooling (as has not been the cast in the previous years). It just runs at the same middle-speed no matter how many apps are open.
I've tried to reset the SMC as per instructions here at the Apple support site
I've deleted the HD completely and installed OSX from scratch
I've tried to run the AHT - also as per instructions on this site - but nothing happens when I restart while pressing the D key.
I've even tried to vacuum clean any dust away through the ventilator holes on the back side and at the buttom of the iMac.
What more can I try to fix this? - Any good ideas more that welcome!
