Hi jonnybgud,

have you tried cleaning the cooling vents of dust with compressed air (you should be able to get this from your local PC shop), check the instructions on the can before using because if used incorrectly you could damage the fan..

If you need dissassembly instructions to give the fan a good clean, send me a PM.

Hi there,

I havent tried it personally, but I have had a proffessional look at it & I am assuming he has done that but still no joy....

You can get a relacement fan shipped from the US but it will cost $87 plus shipping.
