Replace GPU Fan

EYEREX · 29 Jan 2011 at 15:04

Hello all the GPU fan on my Asus A4000 (A4K) series laptop has failed and wondered is it possible to replace with a different fan as having problems finding a original replacement

I've just seen one on eeeeebyyyyyy gum for £20.40.

What is the problem with the fan? It might be repairable.

Looks like the fan itself, not only the whole heatsink is replaceable.

CBB45B05UF seems to be the part of the actual fan itself to track down.

<snipped> i *think* the fan from this should work, or this

Cheers all for the help and after using a magnifying glass i found the part number for the fan plus a site which sells them so don't need to buy the whole unit problem is i was put off a bit by the person i spoke to on the phone but may take the risk

I'd remove the links above sharpish as you are not supposed to post links from that website or mention its name on here.

Done, but why be this? On other forums I've been on, the auction site is fine so long as it's obscure stuff that can't be found in stores, like say, a NC8010 GPU fan.
