fan runs

Fan starts running soon as you plug AC power to it. Doesn't have to be turned on. What causes this?

Equipment: Nellcor - N-600

My schematic reading skills are a little rusty, but it seems power for the fan is sourced directly from Main_dc meaning it will run whenever there is dc power.

There is a chip called U1 that controls the fan.  That may be the bug.  I would take some voltage readings before I replaced it though...if it's replaceable.
