Hi, I have a samsung R40 and the fan needs to be cleaned, it makes a lot of noise and it becomes hot in one minute. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me. I’ve tried to open the laptop, I’ve removed the keyboard, but I’ve missed something. Thank you

Keith,

I have a Toshiba Satellite P205-S7469. The cooling fan was making noise then quite working altogether. The laptop will turn on and run fine for about five minutes then I assume it overheats and shuts down. Do you know the price and part number of the fan assembly, where I can get one

Here’s the CPU fan part number: K000048100
Google the part number and you’ll find it.

how difficult is it to replace (can I repair this unit or should I have a professional repair it) I did not see any guides regarding the disasembly or repair of this unit, can you refer me to one.

I posted many different disassembly instructions for Toshiba laptops at http://www.irisvista.com/tech/
One of them is Satellite P205. Use instructions for replacing the motherboard.
Can you take it apart yourself? If not, take the laptop to a repair shop.

I am finding limited info on the fan for this unit. The laptop is just over a year old now, can I expect future fan problems with this unit? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am losing my mind working on this old desktop. Thanks
