Question Laptop fan with ball bearings, where to buy?

[skagway]

The majority of laptops are equipped with sleeve bearing fan which wear and tear over a relatively short period of time and start to produce annoying noise and vibration. Is there any chance to buy laptop fan with ball bearings and replace the original fan?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The fans inside a laptop are often times specific to the laptop. I haven't come across any ball bearing fan for a laptop across my decade of fixing laptops and replacing said fans. You could look across AliExpress but I doubt you'll find much that is like like for dimension wise for the fan.

Yes. But I have rarely had to replace the laptop fan or heat pipes in many different devices.
They do not "wear and tear" unless clients are blocking the airways, or using them in dust filled rooms or stabbing them (don't ask).
Just remember model number AND part number are important. The Singapore models tend to have different cable lengths to UK, for example.

I think this ball bearing MR52-2RS 2x5x2.5mm can be used in laptop fan.
