All laptop blowers die.  It's not just dells.  You have a grudge with dells, and I'm going to make fun of you every time you use said grudge. Tongue

On the bright side, Dell blowers are separate units, and can easily be replaced cheaply.

On IBM Thinkpads for example, the blower is an non-removable piece of the entire cooling channel, which consists of the blower, the heat fins, the heat pipes, and the metal plate that sits on the CPU.  You can not disassemble it without breaking it, thus making a simple fan replacement a good $100 investment.

It's not exactly a grudge as it is hating retail laptop manufacturers. Dell, as well as HP, Toshiba, god knows what else, is horrible
The only 2 brands I can actually trust with laptops is Asus and MSI. Everything else, is horrible.

If you can't save the fan this is probably what you need.

Before you buy that i would make sure it looks like the one you have. You might also want to check the voltage of the pins on the fan connector with a multimeter. If it is not putting out voltage it's not the fan that is dead but something on the motherboard.

Also try booting into the bios and leave it to see if it comes on. I saw a virus in the past that managed to a the notebooks fan after windows was booted.
