    Hi,

    My Vaio fan is rattling too much.. and I need to replace it. Has anyone replaced the fan on theirs?
    Please post any dis-assembly guides or links to pages containing the info

    What I need to know:
    1. What parts needed? (apart from fan.. example, heatsink compound)
    2. Where can I get those parts from?
    3. Step by step guide on how to open it..
    4. Service manuals would be great.. I found a manual here
    http://computercowboy.com/Downloads/VPC-Z12.pdf

    but its not helpful enough in guiding me to open the laptop.

    Thanks in advance
