I need a new cooling fan in my notebook and I find there are 3 and 4 pin fans available. i tried the part search from HP and  none of the replacement fans list that particuliar part number.  It's not available from HP. How do I figure out if I need a 3 pin or 4 pin fan? Thanks

Hi,

 

It is going to have 4 pins (4 wires). Anyway, if you look on page 80 of service manual you can see the part number of fan and steps to replace   part number 680551-001

 

You need to search with part number and you should be able to find quite easily:

Service manual:

Remember to remove and replace thermal paste between chips and heatsink with quality thermal paste such as Arctic MX4 or similar. You can remove old paste with lint-free cloth and alcohool. Any dried paste youcan remove by scraping with soft plastic tool.

 

Let me know if you need any further help,

David
