I have a six year old Toshiba Tecra A50-D laptop that I love and want to keep. The cooling fan has been occasionally rattling and has now stopped, causing a warning notice. At the same time the computer has slowed a lot, I presume a safety feature to keep it from overheating. I am operating it for short periods with an external personal fan blowing in the vents which has been keeping it from overheating.
If I replace the fan will the computer automatically return to normal speed?
And where can I get a replacement fan? I find many online for the A50-C series but not the D series. Will the C series fan fit the A50-D?
I really need to get this fixed quickly and any advice is greatly appreciated!
