    The fan located on the bottom of my xps-1330 quit working. Can I replace the fan alone or is there parts that need replacement?

    There are two different kinds: one for Nvidia GPU, and one for Intel.

    Make sure you get the right one.

    I think it is the one on the bottom of the laptop near the rear left corner. #.MM911.

    What does the Intel CPU fan look like and where is it located?

    This indeed is the one for nvidia GPU

    Unscrew your fan and clear away any trash build up within this area and replace fan and see if it works before buying anything.
