Toshiba Laptop fan

My dad's fan is losing the bearing. It's about dead. Is there anywhere i can buy a new fan? It's not that old, a couple of years.

And, what if it's just out of the warranty? Then what?

See what it will cost to replace the fan and how much the fan itself costs. The fan shouldn't be more than about $10-15.

If the replacement work costs too much then buy the fan from Toshiba and install it yourself.

So i have to go directly to toshiba for the fan then? Bumma. But yeah, i should be able to install it myself. I have the tools, i'm sure, but i'm just worried about all the stuff they always have that "clicks" together. I end up breaking stuff.

If you know the stats on the fan, then you might be able to track one down, but I don't think the savings would be worth the extra effort. Another concern would be securing the fan - something you don't get from Toshiba may not have the right brackets for install. At least you know that Toshiba will give you a good, compatible fan.

Breaking things just makes the repair more "interesting"
