The fan that was giving me trouble before with the noise & vibration died on me tonight. I thought when I took the laptop apart & cleaned it, that it would be good to go, it spun just fine manually with ease at the time. Nope, it went toes up & within minutes, the laptop overheated & auto-shut down on me. Not good.
So I immediately started on getting it disassembled again to double check the fan, thinking maybe the pin came unseated or something. Not the case, it seized up & simply will not turn at all, even if done by hand. Obviously, I need a new fan, which I'm hoping to order tonight, if possible.
What I'm having trouble with is finding a fan that goes with this model. I have an HP Pavilion 2000-2d70dx, and while I can find the fan here, it seems to be a bit steep. I'll pay it in the end if I must, but I'm hoping to find one for a little less. Problem is, I can't seem to find it anywhere, unless it's a generic fan for many types & I'm just missing the obvious. This one is identical from what I can tell, though the pin appears to be wrong (I need a 4 pin, this might be a 3)
Granted, I'm tired & extremely fed up, I'm hoping I'm just missing the obvious here and overlooked a vendor somewhere.
And before anyone yells "Thermal paste!!" yes, I need to get a tube of it. The fan is part of the CPU heat sink, thus the thermal paste on the CPU was disturbed when I removed it.
