    I've looked all over and cannot find anywhere to obtain a replacement GPU fan for this P6860-FX notebook.

    I sent it in 3 times to Gateway requesting it be replaced and each time it came back to me "no problems found". It has since gone out of warranty.

    It has excessive grinding and oscillation sounds comes from it, the notebook overheats and shuts down on basis uses.

    Any place to find a compatible replacement?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance. Would really like to get this machine back to its former glory!
