One fault that is found with an Ektapro is a noisy squealing fan, repairing it is a little tricky and requires a special tool (Long T-20 Driver).  A noisy fan is annoying or worse if it is not spinning you projector will be broken in no time.

Here are some quick instructions:
  • Remove the lamp module and the four screws from the bottom of the unit.
  • Remove the top cover by removing the focus knob and retracting the slide actuator arm.
  • Unclip the button pad and unscrew the screws for the intermediate chassis.  Remove the intermediate chassis.
  • The fan module should can now be removed, disconnect the cables.
  • Disassemble the fan by removing the two screws and pulling out the whole motor.  Unclip the clips on the the other end and everything should be apart.
