    Hi guys,

    Anyone know where I can get a spare CPU fan for said system?
    Don't want to deal with Dell tech support anymore, I've given up on that.

    Maybe someone has got one lying around, spare? Or have a link to a website that sells them? Or maybe know the partnumber?


    Tyvm,


    D

    My Old M17x R1 I dropped it on its bottom about a 8 inch fall and the fan made the noise...same one. These fans are clickable. before you buy another one. Open the computer out Disconnect the fan and just push the two sides together like a sandwich. Fixxed my problem.
