    Long time Reader, first post.
    I bought an Asus G50vt-x1 from Ebay more than 90 days ago based on info I learned here and it's been a great machine. 30 day warranty on a refurbished machine and it has been excellent.
    yesterday the fan stopped completely. I cleaned the fan using compressed air but to no avail. the machine now overheats quick and stars locking up and glitching. I searched the forums and found this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=385027
    but it didn't help me. and I found where people recommend cpu upgrades as viable. specifically the t9600. I use CPUID to monitor temps and the GPU just cooks.. air vents on front bottom are cleaned with compressed air and I always use a zm-nc2000, which I also learned about here and has been excellent.

    I need to replace the stock fan with another stock fan and am asking for help in getting order information.
