Question Fan for unidentified laptop

[marco-eckstein]

I need a new fan for my laptop, but I don't know either which fan model I need nor which model my laptop is.

I bought my "Pro Audio Notebook Extreme" with a 17-inch screen from Digital AudionetworX in 2018. The sticker with the serial number is unfortunately no longer legible. During startup, no model information is shown, and nothing in the BIOS looks like model information to me. Digital AudionetworX told me that it was a "Clevo Barebone". Unfortunately, their partner IPC Computer could not help me, and Clevo Germany has not replied to my email.

The fan that needs replacement is the one on the left side as seen from the user. See images.

Does anybody know which model my laptop is and/or which model of fan I need to look for?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You might want to pass on images of the underside of your laptop, showing it's stickered info. If possible include images of the bezel of the laptop as well, as that can also hold clues to the laptop's model. The palmrest and bezel can also give visual clues as to what the make/model of the laptop can be.

You could also take apart the laptop, gain access to the cooler and read the stickered info on the laptop's cooling fan. Looking through your images, please take clearer pictures in daylight of the stickered area as well as the motherboard's PCB to see if there are any identifying markings. Do you see anything on the other side of the fan when you remove it?

Lastly, see if this matches our laptop's cooling fan;

I had a Sager (a Clevo based builder) about 10 years ago or so and as Lutfij says, I opened it up and was able to buy the replacement fan online. Clevo laptops are sold by many boutique builders and branders. Parts are easy to source usually.

Thank you!

Indeed the bottom of the fan revealed a sticker with the part number 6-31-P7753-100. It is the same as the second fan by the way, which is installed the other way around and has its sticker visible when opening the laptop. I have added more pictures to the folder.

I have found the fan in multiple online stores, but they all appear a bit shady. As I am in Germany, Cpu-fan-shop.de seems like the obvious choice. Any other recommendations?
