T2XP fan failure

[RseanV]

Newbie here!

My T2XP is getting very hot and I think it's because the CPU fan has failed.

Some interesting noises coming from inside, but I can't be 100% certain that it's not the HDD making the noise.

I've tried turning the fan speed settings up and down to see if I can change the noise but to no avail - makes me think it is the fan that's died.

Anyone tried changing one of these fans? Is it easy to get to?

Many thanks,

Seán.

ItBroker & Thalamus,
Thank you both for your guidance.
Second-hand fan arrived a couple of days ago and has been successfully installed - all seems good now, so whole job completed for ~$75.

All I need to do now is sort out all the rubbish on my C: drive and try and get the start sequence down to <5mins!

Thanks, guys,

Seán.
