    My dear Acer Travelmate 8204 started making weird noises half a year ago. I've been trying to find a replacement fan on the web, but no luck so far. Does anyone know where I could get a hold of one? Tried contacting Acer, but they didn't reply :confused:

    Also tried Pchud and sparepartswarehouse.

    Hope you can help cause the noise is ruining my recording sessions.

    Thanks a dozen. I've tried ebay, but no luck there either :eek:
    I'll try that number, and maybe give Acer a call again. My poor overheated Acer :)
