    I recently purchased a replacement fan for my Inspiron 1420 - NR432. While browsing the web to find instructions on how to do it, I ran across a post that indicated there may be 2 different fans for the 1420 depending on some other component that is in the laptop. I don't want to disassemble my laptop only to find I have the wrong fan. Does anyone know about the possibility of 2 different fans in the 1420?

    There might be two different chipset heatsinks between the Intel and Nvidia variants, but I believe all the fans should be the same.
