It would be helpful to have something about the fan too!
Where to get it, or at least the model number!
What about thermal grease?
Useless info. This is the heatsink (with fan) replacement, NOT fan replacement. The poster is a moron.
Victor - The fan and heatsink are attached to one another. How would you propose one replace the fan only? If you have a method, please create your own guide if this one was authored by such a “moron”. Jeez.
