HP Pavilion ze4900 fan not working! Need Input!

[sswoody00]

The fan on my pavilion ze4900 isn't working anymore, and I need to replace it ASAP. I just wanted to know if the only thing that will fit is just an original one, or are there better quality ones out there that will fit and work fine? Can anyone give me some suggestions? I am pretty new to fixing computers, although I've replaced my hard drive, dvd-rom and screen already. There is only one fan in this computer, right? Or are there more I don't know about? Thanks in advance!

Nobody knows? Are fans universal, or do I need a specific size, speed, etc.? How do I find out what I can replace it with?

You need to look at the back of your laptop & find the entire model number. There are countless versions (well, 84 of them anyway) of the Pavilion ZE4900. Hopefully there is a service manual that shows you how to take it apart & the fan specs. Let us know what you find out.

Well, it's a ze4910us and I can't find any manuals on that link. It has a part number for the processer cooling fan (if that's what I'm looking for) but it's not available to order. I'm going to try searching online for it.
