i was wondering if there are diff. makes/models for laptop fans, just like ram/HD. i guess what i mean is for the pins or whatever but since upon opening my laptop and seeing that there arent any pins required, just a plugin like a HD i was wondering if there are different makes? anyway, is there a way to check what kind of fan one have on their laptop? im going to buy a new fan from newegg if my current one keeps making noises (its not laptop overheating, not a temperature issue, its the motor issue), can someone help me find a fan for the sony vaio vgn-cs110e? thanks.

i've never heard of anyone replacing a laptop fan by themselves, didn't even know they sold those to consumers. also it's a sony so it's probably going to be a proprietary pain in the ass.

im pretty sure you can't buy a laptop fan though, it's very different from computer fans
you'll probably have to send it in for facotry repair

nope. i have someone who took the fan apart, etc. so basically i know how to do it too. i can do the procedure. the reason one time i asked how to open it etc was bc i had no idea how to, there were 2 screws in the HD that didnt allow me to open it. newegg has laptop fans im just wondering what kind id need.

I'm pretty sure you can't replace fans on your laptop, I'd suggest buying a new laptop

You could try blowing on it, every twenty five seconds. Or might I suggest

Perhaps using ice packs to keep it cool? To make sure they are always on hand I'd suggest bringing a cooler filled with them wherever you take your laptop.

You only want to replace it because it's squeaky? That doesn't seem like much of a problem. If it was a temperature issue, they sell usb cooling pads, but i've heard they aren't very good.

A laptop warranty will also spell out what actions on your part will void the warranty. Something as simple as opening the case and breaking a seal can be enough to void a warranty – even if you just wanted to take a peek inside.

okay for example, when watching a youtube video, i would have to set that volume at 80% because when i use to, when this fan issue never happened, i could use 10% and can listen fine. now i CANT.

Asus provides a few laptop models that you can customize and pretty much replace any part you want (fan, hd, dvd drive, processor, etc).
