Don't let Asus do it, do it yourself. Very, very, easy and intuitive. Just take your time, use a guide.

First just replace the fan and put some good new thermal grease on the CPU and NB and dust out the heatsink. The new fan you'd want is the Forcecon DFS541305MH0T “F8U5” fan. Google it, they be bought new for less than $20. It's the 17-fin fastest fan you can put into the laptop. Good luck, it should be that simple.

If you look towards the bottom of page 2 I have a photobucket link with the 3 pictures there so everyone should be able to access it without any problems at all.

Here ya go. You can zoom in or download the pics here. picture saves for the web pictures by danwat1234 - Photobucket It's just a 3-pin connector.

The stock fan in your laptop is most likely a Delta KDB05105HB “7F36”fan. You can replace it with a more powerful fan, which came by default on the Asus G51j and vx laptops. This is the model number of the upgraded fan; Forcecon DFS541305MH0T “F8U5". Google that and you can find it for cheap. The Delta is a 13 fin fan, the Forcecon is a 17 fin fan. Moves more air but fits right into your existing heatsink and plugs into the motherboard for power.
