After a couple of months the fan in my V2030 began to make a terrible noise and then stopped all together. I found a replacement fan for about $60. But I hesitate to spend $60. for two months of fan operation if it does not last any longer than my first one did. Have others had problems with these fans? Does anyone know of a better fan that will last longer? or the same one for less money? (In the meantime I have an external 220 case fan drawing air from the exhaust hole at the side of the laptop to keep it cool, but this solution is not very portable.)
