[bit.listserv.i-amiga] Power supply problems....

Hi folks,
     I have an Amiga 2000 which was bought about two years ago.  After being
used for app. a month, the fan on the power supply made some horrific
noises.  Still being under warrenty, I figured I'd get a new power supply.
As always, when trying to get something mechanical in nature fixed the
blasted thing always works correctly when somebody else looks at it.  I told
him to keep it for a week, see if the problem showed up.  Well they finally
admitted that there was a problem and we ot a NEW & IMPROVED power supply.
Great, I love it.
     Enter a week ago, the darn fan is going out again.  A little TLC tap
on the side will fix it though.
     My question is this, has anybody else had problem with the power supply
fan going bad.  Is there another power supply that is reputable for the
2000?  Should I be concerned about this?

      Thanks in advance for the help.
     -Flynn

Yes...   My amiga 2000 fan will start and stop itself periodically.  I have
never had a chance to look into what might be causing this.  Additionally,
I can occasionally hear the fan "change gears".  Perhaps this is an
undocumented feature?
