Hello all i have a tt100 fan,inside are 2 connectors and a separate wire.
The 2 connectors have a black wire and a white wire,the separate wire is brown with a red plastic thing on the end with a hole on the end.
I connected brown to brown pushing the brown wire in to the red connector.
I then put blue wire to black
Plugged it in worked for a minute then a puff of smoke.
I'm going to try and send it back,but if they don't replace it i will have to buy another and then the same problem.
Can someone please advice me.
Thank you.

I hope you didnt just plug the wires into the AC outlet... cause it smoked, I think the fan is done
I bought a fan on ebay for about $120 and it came with a carbon filter. I would look there, find one with the plug installed....

Electricity really isn't my thing though I have done a bit of wiring myself
But it's hard to understand without seeing it...can you get a pic?

It simply needs to be wired into a plug, they sell just the ends at radioshack
Brown is ground
White is power
But seriously, save yourself the time and headache, buy one pre-wired

If it SMOKED as you mentioned its ALREADY SHORTED. Stop wasting time trying to wire it, all thats gonna happen is eventually you will get it soldered to the plug, plug it in, and it wont work because you fried the motor!
Why are 2 of the wires already going somewhere? At any rate the white is the POSITIVE the black is the NEGATIVE and the brown is the GROUND wire.
But I assure you, again, if it SMOKED, its not going to work and is NOT worth your time trying to make it work. Buy a pre-wired fan...

Uh dude, that's not exactly what I was expecting top see so I have no idea and I'm not even going to take a guess cause electricity is not something you want to mess with
Try a google search for the product or something
Gotta agree with Blacky though...if it smoked, it's fried and it would be far easier to get a pre-wired one
