    Kinda need a fan replacement for my Sony SZ7, i took off the panel right at it. and blew some compressed air in it making the blades spin both ways counter clock wise and clock wise.... now the the fan is DEAD! The good thing about this is that the PC is dead silent.. the bad thing is that.... i kinda wish the noisy fan was back just because i knew atleast SOME cooling is being done.

    Iam running the processor at 800Mhz right now so it looks like iam kinda ok for a bit... but i would feel a bit more comfortable if something was atleast spinning inside this laptop, then i can run it back on its On-Demand processor setting again allowing it to go up to speeds of 2.4Ghz when it needs too.

    Hope someone knows a place where i can get a new replacement fan for fairly cheap... I am starting to hate laptops and i am thinking about returning to desktops just because fans are never an issue.. and if it ever was... its one of the cheapest replacements on a desktop.
