It hasn't gone kablooie yet, but the fan in my Toshiba Satellite
A15-S129 has started making a buzzing noise. Before it goes, I'd like
to know, can I buy this part, and how hard is it to replace?
I would suggest cleaning the dust off it with a vacuum cleaner and/or a
can
of compressed gas, and maybe lubricating it if you can get a drop of oil
into it.
Ounce of prevention. Works for me!
Some fans have a rubber bung hidden under the label, you can peel the
label and pry out the bung to drip a few spots of oil into the bearing.
Or I know one tec who uses a syringe straight through the label and
bung - apparently neat Slick 50 works very well!
i've noticed maplin have started selling lubricant in a heroin-junkie
style needle now. I imagine its useful for lubing fans.
