R61e Fan Noise

[neumannu47]

The fan on my R61e is making a lot of noise. The cheapest replacement I can find is on eBay and is shipped from China for about $70. Is there another source? All I want is the fan, not the entire assembly.

i assume this fan should be the same with my t61. you can try to open it up and clean all the dust. theres alot of thread with the guidelines here.

I've already done that. It needs a new fan, I'm afraid.
