I know this much so far. The fan is putting out lower than normal output. It's still acceptable except in extreme situations, but will eventually give out and fail. When this happens I could easily overheat and permanently damage and/or destroy the machine and it's functionality.
It's in a 3 year old+ Dell Inspiron 9100.
The Fan is an odd design. It appears to be mounted inside a device that contains a microphone and headphone jack on the side with a special connector. I have not been able to find an exact duplicate of the overall device, but I have deduced that further examination will reveal that i would need to dismantle it. It is also a Magnetic Levitation fan from Sunon. I believe that if I figure out how to dismantle the casing, I can just find another fan of the same size and such and merely order and replace it. Unfortunately I cannot find my specifications and find the correct size.
Simple. Any and all helpful ideas. I doubt full system specifications will be required. I believe I have plenty of time before the fan eventually gives out.
