Dead Fan

[siyu]

So, I own an HP Omen laptop, and it's been a great experience so far. Once during warranty period, one of the key switches broke, I called HP Support, sent it to them, and got it back all fixed. Now once again I have another issue with the device, the CPU fan is slowly dying. The issue first started with the fan occasionally making a bunch of noise, and now it's making a constant rattling sound. The RPM of the fan also wont go above 4000, making me scared that it will die soon.

I understand that the product is out of warranty, but I really wish to not have to replace the device for a single defective fan. If it's possible could I get a replacement fan? I'd be fine with doing the repair myself, and would pay for the replacement if possible.

Thanks.

Hi:

Does your notebook have the motherboard that comes with the Nvidia RTX 3060 6GB graphics?

If so, below is the link to the parts list for your notebook.

HP PartSurfer

The fans are sold in pairs.

L98737-001

FAN N18E 12V

HP does not sell the part.

HP Parts Store - HP Computer Parts - HP Printer Parts - Compaq Parts

I did a search on eBay by the part number and found this listing of fans.

L98737-001 for sale | eBay

Most of the listings show the fans are for the OMEN 15-EK0xx model series, but if you click on the part number on the HP parts store link, it provides the list of models the fans are used in.

I see several 15-En1000 models listed.

HP only has the service manual for the older 15-En0xxx model series available, but it should be of help to you for opening up the notebook to replace whichever fan is no good.
