    Macbook Pro fan

    Hi,

    Does anyone know where to buy reasonably priced replacement fans for a Macbok Pro 15" (1st gen) in HK? I asked 3 shops in Wan Chai computer center and they quoted me between 1250 and 2x 850 plus labor... sounds rather expensive for 2 simple fans.

    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Take the fan with you to Golden Computer Center in Sham Shui Po.

    On the lower floor there are a few shops thats sell nothing but computer fans, so you might be able to find what you need at a fraction of the cost that was quoted to you. (this assumes you actually have the fan out of your MBP)

    Sham Shui Po MTR Exit D2 gets you almost to entrance of Golden Computer Center, head down the steps and turn right then follow the maze around till you find the fan shops.

    Checked out Golden Computer Arcade... approximately same price. Decided to ditch the old Macbook Pro and to put the HD in a Dell E4310 I have lying around.
