    I have a 4 year old ZV5000, the fan is very niosy and runs alot, it sounds like the barings are bad and recently has been getting worse. After reading some of the problems others have had after this replacement I am concerned about other evolving problems.
    1. Can I just replace the fan and take the whole computer apart into pieces?
    2. Will i need to redo any parts as well as far as programing?
    3. is it worth the hastle or should i be looking at a new Notebook?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!
