The design is very modular, and replacing individual components (like the motor) when they fail shouldn’t be a problem. No soldering required to disassemble. Microsoft used four kinds of screws, including some hated security bits: T6, T10, T10 security, and Phillips #0. Without a service manual, repair will be quite a challenge. Microsoft has not made a service manual available.

I would venture to guess that the fan is to remove the heat from the cooling device( peltier ). I saw the PrimeSense design mentioned a cooling device which was probably for maintaining operational sensitivity levels of one of the sensors.

How usable is a Kinect without an XBox? Can one wire it up some how and use it drive custom applications?
Ah, never mind, I’ve now seen the bounty!
Any idea why they needed a muffin fan? Wonder what generates enough heat to require a fan?
