Broken Fan

[edix]

Good day all

I'm hoping someone could help me track down a replacement fan for the tablet side of a SB2 15" (Model 1793) I'm having no luck.
Preferably in europe if possible.

Thanks in advance for your help

No warranty? Do you know how it got broken?

No its outside of warranty by a couple of months, typical.
It sounds like the fan has somehow gone off axis, at low speeds it sounds like catching/grating on something, at high speeds it suddenly stops (with a loud vibration) then trys to start again only to stop as it reaches the same threshold. Rinse and repeat till the temperature goes down.

There is a chance that this could be due to a buildup of dust or other debris. Sounds crazy, but a leaf blower directed into the ventilation ports should do no harm, but may help.
