The easiest way for you to fix that is just replacing the fan with another 120mm fan (or whatever size they used). There should be a header on the mobo or on the pump like I said. You might have to look for a white or black fan plug that is stuck on the mobo with no wires. What brand of cooler is that? I seriously doubt this is the case but the wires might have been directly attached to the heatsink/ pump. It will suck big time if that is the case though. You would have to replace it or somehow open it up and resolder the wires back where they go.

I wil replace, I don't want to waste time on little detail fix like that, it's not worth that.

Don't know if you have OS discs either but you obviously will need it (more than likely OEM version). They might have done something like Dell and HP do with the HDD where they installed a recovery partition on it for the OS. If the drive is dead you will have to deal with getting the OS on the new drive. I have a 32bit copy of Windows 7 OEM that I can burn for you if you want. Your key should work on that if the key was for a 32 bit system. You might be able to call or email cyberpower and see if you can get a set of replacement discs too.
