Where to buy spare computer parts?

[jlau20]

I'm having some problems with one of the fans in my laptop, it's making a pretty bad metal on metal scratching sound once in awhile. I took it out to see if I could figure it out and couldn't really tell what the problem is, maybe the magnet that the fan is on is getting weak and letting it slip too low or something, I'm not sure. But anyways, when I did take it out I cleaned them too just to get any dust off in case that was part of the problem and when I was doing that I broke one of the small blades off. Now, so far atleast, instead of making the scratching sound, the fan is just running a bit louder and I'm sure it can't be too good to have one of the fans not having a full set of blades on it.

 

Anyone know where you can order or buy spare parts for computers? New or used.

 

Thanks in advance.

Newegg.com is good. I always received their shipments within 2-3 days of the order, even with ground shipping.

 

There are many many different types and sizes of fans though, it might be a good bet to get the dimensions of the fan that needs to be replaced.

I second bullox's recommendation. Newegg is real good. Thier customer service is top of the line too.

I third bullox's recommendation. Newegg tends to have least amount of markup -- much like a high-quality Walmart.
