A computer is fundamentally different than a Model "T". They get obsolete and unuseable, while you can still drive a Model "T" around town if you can keep it running. On a six year old laptop you have to go into the third party market to find parts, but they are available. Best Buy has no clue and no parts. They send all hardware laptop repairs out to a place in TX and make their money as a middleman for such things.
First thing you need is the Service Manual:
"How-to" for fan replacement is on p. 4-41 to 4-46. This will be a virtual "gut" of the laptop stripping it down to the motherboard and removing the motherboard. It can be done by an amateur who is able to read and follow directions and has a logical mind and memory to keep track of screws and where they came out so they can be put back in. The strip-down is not easy but the real test is reassembly.
This is the part you need:
GL40 UMA systems (for models 1.1 and 1.2 only) 606573-001
How do I know? Your processor is a Pentium Dual, which means it runs on the low-end motherboard chipset and it has "integrated" or "UMA" video. I am, however, fallible, and the smart way to go about the repair is to open and remove first, and then buy the replacement part based on what you already have. Saves lots of returns.
Assuming I am right on the part you need here it is:
You want to use this chance to clean out in there all the dust and when you reassemble you need to use good thermal compound applied correctly. We can find you a video as well, probably.
Post back if you need any more help.
