I've got a Sony Vaio PCG-6111M laptop with a faulty fan.
The laptop boots and cuts out almost immediately. At first I thought it was a faulty HDD so I tried replacing with a spare one I had but the problem was still there so I took the bottom off and noticed that the fan wasn't spinning. I gave it a twirl and it started working and the laptop booted fine. The fan has 4 or 5 of the fins missing ( no idea how that happened). I have tried to remove the fan but I can't get it out.
When I put it back together the problem came back, so it definitely needs a new fan. Has anyone got any experience with the Sony laptops on how to get the fans out and where I could get a replacement from?
Cheers
