My girlfriend's Twinhead R15B's fan is going crazy, it's offcentre and grinding on the bottom of the laptop around once a second (the small system fan in the middle that's hard to get to not the one that is attached to the CPU's heatsink and comes out easily)

Can anyone please point me to a guide to taking this laptop appart and if possible a uk store that sells a replacement fan. I could not find this information anywhere, I looked on PCWorld Buisness but they dont seem to do anything to do with Twinhead, maybe a generic fan would work if I knew the dimensions.. (I have done this before sucessfully but only on a Toshiba)

Thanks

Hi ghell!

Thanks but its a little late, I took the computer appart and couldn't fix or get a replacement for the fan so i sent it back to her mum in singapore and the crappy repair guys swear theres nothing wrong with it, its not supposed to be on all the time (but its never ever on unless you hit it then it stays on for half a minute makes about 1 revolution per second and makes a huge grinding noise)


*sigh* this is why I use desktops, laptops are just too hard to find replacement parts for.

bought a shiney new Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 now anyway
