Does anyone have any experience with these and will they work instead of an internal fan? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about: linkI have a noisy laptop fan which could die any time and my choices are to either replace the fan, buy one of these, or buy a new laptop. Replacing the fan myself has the potential to go very wrong, and I don't want to buy a new laptop if it can be avoided. |

Also, it will last longer than the Cooling pad. |

It doesn't look particularly easy, but hopefully doable... I share your grief. Our 8 old second hand laptop has a malfunctioned fan. Someimes, the noise of the fan gets so loud that we have to shut it down immediately. |

It doesn't look particularly easy, but hopefully doable... I replaced the fan yesterday and as the laptop is still working today I declare the operation a success  If anyone else is in the same boat I say see if you can find a good guide to follow and then judge for yourself if it is worth attempting or not. |

Great! This is the solution! How many screws you got leftover?Although it was successful on this occasion, I feel I must stress the importance of research and advise extreme caution before attempting these kinds of repairs as an amateur: this was my first time opening up a laptop and it was a whole new level from any desktop PC repairs I've done in the past. I expect some will be more complex than others, but this is the guide that I used: |
