Did you by any chance spin the fan with the compressed air? As tempting as it is to do, you should avoid it cause doing so can turn the fan into an electric generator and send voltage to a place that is never meant to receive it.
Modern components should have protection against this, but sometimes companies cheap out. Regardless, even if you didn’t do this, I hope this comment helps at least one person.
This was years ago, but I don’t believe I did. At the time, I did know you shouldn’t move the fans with the power being off for the reason you listed about generating power.
I think it was more to do with me spraying directly into the fan duct area with the compressed air and the various chemicals that were in the can affecting the electronics.
