    Hi,

    I've owned my 8204 for a few years now. The other day one of the fans began to spin up out of control, making a horribly loud noise. Now, when ever I try to use it, the fan doesn't work at all or makes this noise. As far as I can tell, it appears to be the gfx card fan (the big one that sends all of that hot air on your hand) and I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of replacing it and possibly a guide on how to actually get this sucker out. I tried to unscrew it, but apparently I was missing something because it refused to come out.

    Thanks in advance,
    Matt
