Spare part for mini server (firewall) (broken CPU fan)

[Malli2602]

Hi people,

based on an older video, I bought the following Hardware for a little vm server.
HUNSN Micro Firewall Appliance, Mini PC, VPN, Router PC, Intel Core I5 1240P, RJ50f, AES-NI, 4 x 2.5GbE I226-V, 2 x SFP+ Optical 10Gbe 82599ES, Barebone, NO RAM, NO Storage, NO System: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör

Now, after only 10 months of using, the fan is making noises and is not working as expected.
Can someone tell me where I could search for a fan? Or how I could find out what fan that is.
Just in case, the vendor is not very responsive and break European law :-D

Thanks!
Stephan

worst case you can get trust wd-40.

I recommend removing the fan, and taking a look at serial/make on it (maybe you can find exact fan - and its not an exotic one)

Hi,
thank you for the recommendation.WD-40 is never a solution for electronic parts made with plastic.
It will damage the parts much more.
For that kind of work, you should use electrical contact spray/pure air/no electrical dry lubrication.

The hint with the serial is really nice!
Thank you
