Laptop Fans

[lollardfish]

One of the fans on the back of my laptop has stopped. Anyone know anyone who might be able to repair/replace it locally? How serious is it? Dell will charge me immense amounts of money to fix it.

Well, I don't know how computer savy you are. I've never worked on laptops, so it's all greek to me. However, replacing a fan in a PC is very easy.

Here's a guide to replacing a fan in a DELL Inspiron 2500 Systems laptop, look it over and see if it looks like something you could do. Yours might be similar.

Yeah. I can do that (I have a Dell Latitude 840 or something)
