    Hi,

    I have an R61 which has been great but the CPU fan now has a rattle.

    Any ideas where I can get a replacement?

    Thanks!

    I worked it out. Tracked down the model/part number which was 42W2779.

    Just need a good supplier now.

    ok, so Lenovo are charging $130 for a fan!

    I could almost buy a new laptop for that... any way to get the wholesale price?
