It looks like the correct part to me, and for $7.00 how can you go wrong. One word of advice tough, that is a T42 short fan. The long fan is recommended for improved cooling. Part #41W5204 is considered the best for quietness and cooling.

Yes it is possible to replace just the fan blade ... not sure why you'd want to do that if you have an entire new fan though.

"ACS sells serviceable used parts, these parts may be new, equivalent to new, used or refurbished, all parts pass OEM diagnostics and carry a 30 Day warranty."

In other words, it's used. Is this what you wanted?

It should work just fine if you have the ATI7500 GPU. If you have the 9600 or Fire GPU, you need the long fan.
