    I have a E1705 about a year old, without warranty.

    I just noticed the fan has failed. It's the one on the bottom, on the left hand side (looking from top) No air is coming out from the rear.

    Where do I get this part? Can I maybe upgrade it? It appears I only have 1 fan, can I install the 2nd one? (Looking from the top, it's on the right)

    How do I replace it?
