1288285 2012-07-16 00:32:00 There is another seller on ebay who has some new fans.

www.ebay.com

There are both 2 & 3 wire.
They have the same part number but are 0.20Amp.
Was wondering if a pair of those work.

1288286 2012-07-16 00:51:00 As long as they are the right size and same voltage there would be no problem.

The fact that it apparently draws less current is irrelevant, unless it spins significantly slower than the old one.

1288287 2012-07-16 02:02:00 OK, I'll grab a couple of those. Better off with new ones & not much dearer.
Be interesting to see how long they take to arrive.

1288288 2012-07-16 02:42:00 From my experience with eBay and Chinese sellers, it could take around 1-3 weeks, usually 2 weeks, but occasionally as long as 6 weeks. Agent_24 (57)

You can never be too skeptical about cheap stuff from China...

1288293 2012-07-24 08:03:00 Wasn't much choice. Can't buy them here. Driftwood (5551)

I know, I've bought replacement fans on eBay too, and they worked, but given the nature of the vendors, I would always test them well beforehand
