Hey guys, I have a laptop (Gateway) that's a couple years old, and out of warranty. I called Gateway, and they told me to check out a few sites, but all were out of stock of the fan? Any ideas? I'm not really interested in specific fans yet, just wondering if any of you know any good places to get Gateway components?

Have you tried looking through the site shipping directory?

Touch'e, lol. Well what do I look for? I know basically nothing about computer hardware. I checked through the cooling section on all the sites in that thread, butI couldn't really make anything of them.

Are you trying to get a new fan for your laptop? I dont think they even sell those individually to people. The best you can do is find one used online.

Whats wrong with the one in your system now? It could just be dusty; try blowing it out or putting a vacuum cleaner to it.

Well Gateway and Best Buy both told me I could buy one, any other sites/dealers guys?

I think what this really relies on is finding the model # of your laptop.

I could throw up some pages I know of but if it's not applicable to your model then it kinda defeats the purpose.
