Best in UK place to buy replacement fan for x60s?

#1 Post by CyberDude » Thu Sep 10, 2009 2:26 pm

My fan has started making a horrendous noise and sounds like it's about to fall off it's spindle. I've found the part number but am wondering where the best place in the UK is to buy a replacement. My warranty expired 2 months ago - how typical. :roll:

Try ebay uk, for eample: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=x60s+fan

You may buy a fan only to save a few quids, if you want to keep the heat sink. Anyway, it is not very expensive. Make sure you order the correct model.

Thanks but I am actually looking for a place in the UK. Those are from China. In fact it's got very urgent now as my laptop won't boot anymore so I need to get a replacement ASAP. Comes up with fan error.

With regards to part number can you confirm if I have chosen the correct one? I have a 1704-56g. Part number for fan according to THIS is 41V9748. Is that correct?
