This lappy is a few years old now so things starting to fail. Recently replaced the keyboard with a US version as a UK version was several times more expensive.

Now the fan started to sound like a cement mixer. I checked on ebay and there is replacement available for about 20GBP so not too bad. With that in mid I decided to strip it out and see if I can do the oil trick to the bearing so see if I could get a second life from the fan. It?s easy to remove the fan, lift off the blade and place a drop of veg oil onto the bearing and reassemble. So far so good, the fan is now running silent and smooth.

Anyhow for my future reference the part number label on the fan assembly reads: ATZHY000100 

The actual fan motor label reads:

FORCECON
BRUSHLESS MOTOR
