Fan stop working critical notice

figured out how to fix cooling fan not working. there is 3 wires from fan, one red, black, and yellow. black solder connection on circuit board missing on top of board. It was only on bottom side. Intermittent. Worked when cold, but stopped when unit heated up. Expansion. Resoldered and works again.
