Hi Everyone, my fan recently got damaged, now I'm trying to get a replacement fan from foreign online stores using the part number for the fan(found the part number in the service manual of the laptop) but due to country restrictions, I can't ship the fan to my country. Now I want to buy the fan from local stores but the only problem I have is knowing the right one to buy. The damaged one currently in the laptop has the following ratings : 5V, 0.40A, 2W. Now my question is, can I just get a fan with these exact same ratings as replacement for the laptop?
@Smith454: See if you can get the service manual for your laptop. The vendor and part number should be in there. :MJ
I'm in Nigeria and all the sites where I can get the fan using the part number don't ship directly to Nigeria. Anyway, the part number is 665308-001.
I have the part number but cannot order the item to my country which is why I'm asking if I can buy from the local stores using only voltage,current and power ratings.
I wouldnt see why not as long as it fits in the system. You want to watch not to go with a fan that wants more current than the current of course, the biggest thing is that. A fan wanting to pull more than is being delivered will burn something eventually.
