Old laptop was handed to me, to my surprise booted, but shut down after so long, wasn't long before i realised the fan was caput.

DFB501005H70T DC 5V 0.30A

Got one from china, and it ended up being 6mm to big! Tried swapping the fan over with little success, got the old fan out, easily, but the one i ordered wouldn't budged, and probably won't work by the time i get the plastic off (and a fin broke).

Now i can find pretty much the same style & size on ebay (New, not used, for a few quid.), but different models, and the amps are different.
They vary between 0.01-0.04, now if i go down this route, will it be a problem? If it can cause a problem, then i'll go for a used one, albeit not much cheaper.



Cheers.
