Thank you man for your time, you are right, that is the fan unit I want and at very good price but I already bought it from another source at eBay. Bad part is that delivery from China to Canada is 6-8 weeks Much appreciated

My 4 years old ASUS 17” laptop, model K750J developed a noise which I pinpoint to the cooling fan. When I opened the laptop the fan and the CPU copper cooling tubes are one unit so I guess I have to purchase a complete assembly. I have no problem replacing the assembly but I’m looking for a...

Since then I got Macrium and I find it an excellent software however its nice to know that Windows has an Image backup utility Thanks for your time

Thanks for taking the time to provide the links. I will see if any solutions offered are applicable to me and hopefully I will resolve my problem
