I don't have this message everytimes. Maybe a cleaning will be enough ?
9uile's Vewlix F

Sure, if you’re ok with it coming up randomly. It would annoy me. I replaced mine with a modern LG LCD instead. It’s dead silent.
Replace the screen is efficient to remove the fan warning
I finally received some weeks ago my 1P panel from Rafael ('eFighters Arcades Design' on FB)
Funny fact : First, i was disappointed by the quality but i didn't realize that there is a protective film on it .
Then, after removing the protective film, the quality was amazing !
I don't own an official vewlix panel to compare both but i presume that it's very close and maybe better regarding the price of an official panel.
I didn't have the right mounting plate to fix the stick on the panel so i drilled 4 holes on the Sanwa (JLF-TP-8S) plate.
I also returned the stick on the S mounting plate to have the ball at around 2/2.5cm above the panel.
This is my preference, i don't know yours.
And... DONE ! (the picture isn't good because of a grey and rainy january day )
Next step(s) : I don't know yet. Maybe fix the warning (fan) on screen, or had a top marquee, or doing a DC hack pad.

Hey 9uile, thanks for documenting your upgrades. I am looking to replace the back fan on my Vewlix F, and after unscrewing it, I noticed the wiring is connected all the way to the left side, pairs with more wires from above, and then eventually that larger clump makes its way to a white double F1 clip which then connects to the board nearby.
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but how did you rewire your fan? Did you simply buy a new dupont housing and crimp tool, cut the two existing wires connected to the factory fan, and get them into the new housing which your new fan then connects to? I am just looking to make sure I am doing things correctly here, especially before cutting the factory fan wires.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for the explanation. I am going to scoop up a dupont connector kit so I can get my new fan hooked up. I really appreciate the help!Hi. It was really easy. I cut those two wires that went from the right side.
Change the old fan by the new one and rewire like this with dupont connectors (because i had some but you can rewire with something else).

Thanks again for the advice 9uile. After a few failures, we got the new fan hooked up and running! Mounting it and cleaning up the wires next.
