You could iron clothes with it. I have read about other fixes, but was wondering; can I make the internal fan run all the...

crimp on one side of the thermistor. Slide silicone sheath on. Slide silver piece on. crimp other end.

Thanks for all the feedback. I removed the rubber bottom, jumped the fan with a resistor so it runs all the time and added rubber feet to improve the airflow underneath. It runs cool now, with only a little fan noise. The fix is described at http://sites.google.com/site/lapastenagu...-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modems/apple-time-capsule-repair
