Everyone inc me knows what you are saying. We have read it over and over and you still keep saying it. But you are wrong! Or it wouldnt work. The link wire is pretty obvious. You can see it in the inside or the outside - wherever it was on yours. And the fact that non now exists means it has gone. I dont care if you removed it, or it fell out or if a magic fairy made it dissapear. It MUST EXIST to work!!! You dont even NEED to see if that U shaped bit of wire was there. You must understand that LOGICALLY it or something else MUST be there??? Surely? (yes I know dont call me shirly...) The thin fan wires are all irrelivant.
And its also very obvious that it cannot work unless its linked at the opposite end. I was saying this right my first post. And yes I know what you said. We all do!!! But that could not possibly be true. So you HAD to be wrong. Maybe you didnt see it but it MUST have existed. Logic/physics and schoolboy electrics says so.
Add a bit of your silicon heat proof wire in a short loop. Outside or inside, it makes not a blind bit of difference. And it will no longer be RIP. And will work normally again. As I said from my first post!!!

the other end was nothing other than the coils on the rear screws inside - hard to see i cant see if any U click was there or not -
You do not NEED to see it, to understand that it MUST have been there to work. Logically there is simply no alternative. So it doesent matter what you think you saw or didnt see, or claimed at all. You can claim whatever you want and it is irrelivant. Why? If it worked once, it
was there then!
