NAS200: Replacing the fan

I just got an used NAS200 and it's too loud. So I am going to replace the fan.
What is the size/voltage and the connector type of the fan? I think that it is 30mmX30mmX10mm, but I have no other info.
Any suggestions about a quiet fan are welcome!
Thanx in advance!

I modified my NAS200 with two alluminium radiators. Now it's very silent device.

Why would they just replace the fans when it needs a new logic board?

Went to see a "genius" at the Apple store with my Week 12 MBP. Complained about excessive heat and it whining when unplugged, ever since I got it. He sent it off, three days later I got it back in the mail. But when I looked at the repair doc all it says is they replaced the "FAN ASSY, LT, M1" and also the "RT" one. So now I have two new fans (which worked fine before), and that's it. It still get hot enough over the F keys to burn my skin, and it still whines like a baby when unplugged.
All they have to do is look at the serial number (8612) to know it needs a new MLB, right? What do I do now, call them back and go through this all over again?
MacBook Pro 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Went through the exact same thing with my week 17 MBP. The first repair came back with new power inverter and fan assemblies even though my noise was clearly coming from below the keyboard. The noise continued and if anything was actually worse so I was starting to regret ever sending the computer back in the first place. So I called again and sent it back in. This time, the laptop came back untouched and declared "within spec". Now I was really fired up. I told them I would use it for a week and if the problem continued it will come back. So back it went a third time and this time the logic board was replaced. I have to say, the difference is very noticeable and completely worth it in hindsight. I was almost ready to live with it and am so glad I did not. Be persistent and let them know you are prepared to send it in as many times as it takes.

Call your local repair shop and ask them.

My internal fan has gotten loud like a vacuum. Are there any tricks to fixing it without taking it in? Can it be taken in to replace the fan or is it time for a new computer?

Problem two - replacing the fan on video card

I have a NVidea GeForce4 Ti video card in my G4. The fan cooling the GPU stopped spinning, although I don't know when. I ordered the identical fan on-line, thinking that it wouldn't be that hard to get the old fan off. Apparently, it isn't as easy as I thought. There are two black plastic pieces which springs connecting the fan/heatsink to the board. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to extract them.
So, then I thought about just removing the fan and leaving the original heat sink attached. I got 6 of the 7 screws out, but one's really tight. Assuming that I can eventually get that one out as well, I still need to extract the wires from the surface of the card... it appears that they are glued on in one spot.
Has anyone here tried changing the fan on this (or another) video card who might have some insights in how to proceed? Thanks in advance for your help!

I purchased my replacement fan from "Surplus Sales of Nebraska." They actually carry the fan originally installed on the card. There website is:
www.surplussales.com
and the part number was FAN-MTHERM1027B
If you google "NV-1035-C2", it should pop right up (I get is as the first hit). They're only $6, but they have a $10 minimum order. I ended up with two fans.
I've been busy, so I haven't tried removing the fan yet. I read on the web, though, that once you remove the two black plastic pieces, you should put the video card into a freezer bag and then place it in the freezer for a few hours. Supposedly, you can then remove the fan with a twisting motion. Apparently, it's pretty easy to damage the GPU if you pull it straight off. That being said, if you can remove all of the screws on the fan, you can actually leave the heatsink in place and just replace the fan. I tried that, but I have one screw that's stuck.
Anyway, I think this is still the least of my problems. Although I haven't tried rebooting recently, I had trouble mounting a DVD today which I suspect is related to my first problem (where my hard drives don't always show up when I try to boot the computer). I'm becoming convinced that it's going to be a power supply or motherboard issue (ugh). If I get a chance to try removing the fan from the board, I'll let you know.

Compaq presario cq56 black screen on boot up after replacing the fan and keyboard

Hi the cpu fan on my computer died, so we replaced it and i took the opertunity to replace the keyboard at the same time.
Now the fan works just fine the blue/white power button works, initially the caps lock button came on and stayed on but no longer comes on at all.
I am quite the novice in all things computer so think i may have done something stupid, and fried the motherboard, but if anyone could come up with something for me to try before i have to go through replacing that bit i would appreciate it.
Oh i have tried an external monitor and it says recieving no signal on the screen.
Thanks for helping

Hi @carriebevan
Welcome to the HP Community! I saw your post regarding the problem with the notebook going to a black screen after replacing the fan and the keyboard. To be honest with you there isn't a whole lot that I can do for you in this manner. Try seeing if you can get into the operating system using Safe Mode. If you can then we can look at a couple of things.

T61 sudden shut down after I replaced the fan

I was getting a fan error (that was preventing the unit from booting), so I ordered a replacement.
On installing it last night, everything seemed fine. Unit ran fine for 20m then Bam! sudden shutdown.
This morning, same thing, both witht the battery installed and with it out.
I have to suspect the fan, but I presume the unit wouldn't even boot if the fan was not working.
any suggestions for diagnosing the issue?
many thanks
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Difficult to say...
Theory says system shutdowns automatically to avoid permanent damage, but if you tried to run it several times...
Anyway a new CPU won't cost you much. Try again once the thermal paste is reapllied.
I hope you're using the HMM and following the steps described there. Don't forget to tell us the machine type number (see my post above)
Good luck!

HP Pavilion TX1000 Tablet PC - Replacing the fan (Qs and my plan of attack)

Alright, so I finally got my HP Pavilion TX1000 tablet PC that I mentioned about when I asked a week or two ago about the 3G module. It works quite well, even if it does show it's age, I'm happy with it. One thing I noticed about it was that it heats up quite a lot when sitting idle.
The buyer noted in his listing that the fan might need replacing. It turns out that the system is cooking itself since it doesn't have any exhaust fan sucking the heat out of the vents as the fan is seized. This means when the laptop gets around 70*C, the BIOS safety temperature watchdog kicks in and kills the laptop until the laptop's internal thermal sensor has detected a safe temperature. Judging from Speedfan readings before the laptop shut down, this overheating issue popped it's head up around 70*C.
I got a friend to drop in his MacBook cooler that he uses, and I have it plugged into a USB socket. It is keeping the HP Tablet in a safe (but still warm) 60*C-ish temperature rage. I also got a portable AA-battery powered fan and aimed the fan at the vents, which meant I was "blasting" cool air into the vents. This kept the system down around 45 - 50*C.
I took the laptop apart partially (well, not a complete teardown but enough to see it's fan when it's switched on to see if it's spinning, and I can confirm the fan is not spinning at all, not even when the CPU is really hot, it's just stationary. I looked around and didn't see any wires stuck in the fan or anything, so I'm assuming the fan is seized up (or burnt out).
I've ordered this replacement fan off eBay for my tablet. Spare part number matches apparently: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300749320112 .
Now, my question is, is it possible that laptop fans can be seize up in rare events? Don't shun me away and say "Oh no, it would never happen", because fans are moving parts and could seize up if subjected to a lot of heat. I know the TX1000 series are known for overheating woes, so I'm going to ask you this - In your experience, have you seen fans failing, and if so, could a seized motor be the cause?
I am going to follow this guide once the fan arrives (http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/hewlett-packard/8875-modding-tx1000-part-1-changing-thermal-compound...) because I heard that black paint on the heatsink assembly does nothing to help keep the CPU cool, and if I remove it, I can get a 5 - 10*C CPU temperature droppage. Which is good because I don't want it to be burning my hands if I'm using it to jot notes down!
Alright, so that's my plan of attack. Suggestions? Opinions? Encouragement?

Should be able to answer your own question by physically trying to rotate the blades with a thin tool or blowing into the blades & if bearings good it should rotate easily.
bearings fail, fan motor/boards fail, mainboard control & power can also fail !
Most modern equipment has almost no real effort in proper thermal control so some modifications may help but you will be limited in what is achievable on a finished product.
Here in Asia we have done a lot of notebook cooling mod combo's such as vent increases, thermal shims, quality thermal grease & secondary 25 to 30mm 5v case venting fans with internal porting & baffles to help good airflow/heat extraction with great results in reducing overheating & component failure ...
Should be done at the factory !
For $10 of parts we reduced a custom dv2500 with T770 & Nvidea graphics by 25% & made the machine reliable & feel safe rather than a lap microwave ...

AHT 4MOT/1/40000003:HDD will replacing the fan fix the machine?

My 2007 imac started freezing on me, but a reboot would fix it. Finally, it just froze and when I reboot it takes forever, gives a garbled grey screen and then loads the OS and displays the desktop. Everything seems fine until you click on something. Then everything freezes again (forever).
When I ran AHT, I got the error 4MOT/1/40000003:HDD (with no trailing numbers), which I understand to be a hard drive fan er
I have all of my data backed up to a time machine drive so I'm not worried about my data, but what are the chances of the computer working again if I spend the money to buy a fan and replace it? Thoughts?
Any help will be much appreciated.
It's a 20 inch 2.4 GHz 2007 iMac (2133)
Thanks for your assistance!

That error message indicates a hard drive fan issue. The problem is that you have to replace the whole hard drive, not only the fan.
I recommend you to take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the hard drive replaced, so you won't have to worry about doing something wrong while installing it, and then, just restore your Time Machine backup. Anyway, if you want to install the hard drive yourself, you can find the steps to do it in OWC or iFixit.

What is wrong with my computer I replaced the fan but it's not running

Thank you Allan Eckert that would of helped but right now I figuired out what exactly was wrong. My mac seems that it's fan doesn't run after the replacement. Litterly what I did to test this is test another mac with smc control and that one ran at 2000rpm for fan speed. My mac fan does not run at all its at 000rpm. How can I fix this problem myself besides apple if I can? Any suggestions? Yes It's a 13 inch mac book pro we have 3 but one for each of us. I would like to know why isn't it running thank you for the help if you can give any answers.

It should always be running a little bit whenever the Mac is on.
The part could be defective, or the wires on backward.

Replacing the main fan in a Dell Studio 1558 laptop.

Looking around online, it seems that my laptop model was doomed to fail, but so far I've encountered no problems besides the annual attempt by Windows 7 to disown my bluetooth module. Anyways, recently I started having serious issues that I tracked down to my RAM going bad. I replaced my old sticks with a new pair from Best Buy, upgrading my memory at the same time, since I went from 4 GB to 8 GB. They've worked just fine so far, but I also bought a pair of air dusters and cleaned out the innards that I could get to with the access panel off the back of my laptop, as well as getting the vents of course. Unfortunately, I doused my fan in a little too much dust when cleaning out the back vent, and now it's making a faint, high pitched whine. I suspect that it's going out, and any attempt at further air duster use makes it cycle between getting a cringingly loud high pitched whine to it, not working at all, or getting back to a soft whine that I can deal with. I know there's not really much choice, even though it's keep my system cool really well now, it has to go before it truly breaks.
How much would it cost to have Best Buy replace the fan? I bought this laptop through Dell directly back in August of 2010, though with how long it's been, where I got it may not really be a factor anyways. I know the fan is still available, both refurbished from Dell itself, and from various other places. The fan being replaced is the primary thing I need fixed or (more likely) replaced, but it would be nice to have an estimated cost break down of having that done in addition to getting the GPU fan checked (there's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 video card in my laptop) and perhaps the GPU and CPU and so on professionally cleaned off in general, with the heatsinks checked and fresh thermal paste applied, if needed. I know about all that stuff, but I don't know nearly enough to trust myself to do it without screwing it all up. Even getting to the fan in my laptop is just not simple enough for me to be comfortable doing it without any training/experience in laptop maintenance. I need this laptop to last a couple more years, and a little preventative maintenance while it's all apart to get the fan replaced seems like a good idea in order to try and ensure that it does last.

From what I am reading in your topic you are stating
-You bought from Dell
-Do not have a current geek squad protection plan
The only option here to my knowledge would be this:
You need to have them to order this part
https://bestbuy.partsearch.com/Part/Dell/Dell/STUDIO1558/Dell/Dell/W956J/New.aspx
You need to also pay whatever their repair fee is for this service(it varies) I am unsure as to how much they charge for the repair service itself, but I know virus removal is normally $150-200.

Dv7-6153er replacing of the fan

Hi! After 3 years of using I've found 2 cracks at the cooler fan blades. I need to replace the fan, but I need to know, do coolers for all laptops dv7 series are the same and compatible (for example - i found in the shop cooler for 4$ and it's marked as compatible dv7 6000 series, will it be compatible with my dv7 6153er)?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Not all 6xxx series will be same as different cpu/gpu setups have different fan/heatsink setup.
Also doubt $4 will buy much of a fan unless it used one or cheap china copy.
Original quality new fan is going be $9 to $19 pending on luck & how much effort you put in, generally if you have the fan brand name & model numbers you can track down quality one cheap while if sourcing via notebook model the price has a premium ...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-NEW-CPU-cooling-Fan-FOR-HP-PAVILION-dv7-6152sf-dv7-6153ea-dv7-6153e...
Do be careful as the chinese copy or no name cheap fans are appalling items ...

Is it necessary to replace the entire motherboard if the fan needs to be changed?

I recently sent in my MacBook pro (mid-2009) to a authorized service provider for repairs. I brought it in because of those weird noises coming from inside the MacBook and that it became very hot after running for awhile. The technician ran a simple diagnostic and it seemed to be a problem with the fan, and he advised me it would involve replacing the entire motherboard should there be a need to replace the fan. The question is that really necessary? I have visited a few forums and most indicated only the fan needs to be replaced. Does anyone have any comments on this? I am hoping I have not been taken for a ride.
