Hey guys,

After a few weeks of waiting, I finally got my laptop back from best buys repair team... It was overheating as well as a few other problems, but everything now is fixed except that the fan they replaced it with is apparently not new or has problems.

It makes a little noise every few seconds, which isn't that bad at all, but every 5-10 minutes it will rattle like crazy. I can literally hear it from the living room when my laptop is a few bedrooms away!

I have decided that I'd like to go ahead and replace the fan myself if I can find a matching one instead of waiting another 2-3 weeks. I've already been able to get to the inside and here is a picture of the one I need...

I have searched on google and some other places, but I cant seem to find a replacement fan for this one.

Could someone more experienced with finding replacement parts please be of assistance to me? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks!

How can you fix a fan? I thought once they went bad there was nothing you can do.

I need to find a fan exactly that size.. any smaller and it wont fit the screw holes.
 
You can fix a fan but it would depend on what was wrong with it hard to tell when I cant see it lol

Have you tryed looking for a fan the same size, and what is the size?
 
I'm not sure of the exact size, because I already put it back in the laptop, but I would say its diameter is about 1 & 3/4 inch.
 
hmm well I could try and help you find one but would need to know the correct size, or you could phone SAM LAM TECH. CO. LTD. and they would sort you out with one and most likly for free :)
 
I am trying to find the contact info for Sam Lam Tech, but I think they are a foreign company.

I will take apart my laptop once again later and take accurate measurements of the fan...

I was really hoping that someone would just be able to take the part number and pull up details about the fan and then be able to find a replacement.

Anyone have any other suggestions than taking apart my laptop again to measure the fan?
 
Yer I know what you mean I looked for you but couldnt come up with much, I just got a list of other fans that the company do :) and yer there a foreign company :)
