    My X360's fan is failing judging by the grumbling/grinding sounds it's making. Does anyone know the specs on the fan so I can replace it?

    Hey, I had the same problem on my x460, and I bought a replacement fan from samsungparts.com However, my model was discontinued, so I'm pretty sure yours is as well, so it took them a month to send me the fan.

    I also need some advice though, from anyone who's taken theirs apart...I'm at the part of disassembly where I need to disconnect the wiring for the speaker to remove the top of the laptop shell, but I can't manage to take it off. The other connections of this type were pretty easy to get off, but I just can't get this one. Is there some sort of trick to it? Thanks..
