Hi experts :) I too have a Acer with a noisy fan ... and I mean noisy. Its quite obviously faulty its vibrating and rubbing around in its casing. I know I can ship off to Acer to repair, but its a SSD with XP installed, 1.5Gb of ram and a Japanese import! All round I think it will be easier to swap it out myself rather than hoping acer will fix it with all the mods it has. However, I cannot find a replacement fan for it... the model number on the fan doesn't appear to match anything of any use on google. I'm in the UK, does anyone know where I can buy a replacement fan, and if there are non available, a similar or slightly more powerful one would be fine .. as long as its quiet that's all that matters :D Thanks,
