Recycling parts has become a part of everyday life.

It is important for the environment, the economy and ever more so in your personal financial decisions, helping to save your hard earned dollars.

With so many sellers offering USED parts and accessories for computers and laptops these days, it is important to know WHAT you are getting.

Here are a few tips to help you make the wisest decision where to spend your hard earned dollars.

FIRST, DO BUSINESS WITH SOMEONE WHO IS REAL AND ACCESSIBLE.

See if your prospective seller has CONTACT INFORMATION listed in their ads or on their related websites. That means more than an anonymous email form to fill out. Look for a valid telephone number that works and someone answers it to talk to you.

To save down time and get your system back up and running, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you open your case to obtain the correct part number from your existing fan.
There are many models of fans that are found in applications and systems which are not listed in factory application guides. There are also a lot of CROSS APPLICATION of model numbers. This is especially true for IBM Laptops.

If you need assistance in opening your case to get to the fan, look on your respective Manufacturer website for the User's Manual, Technical Documentation or Hardware Maintenence Manual for your specific model.

Next, after searching,  you have found listings for the FRU (Field Replacement Unit) Number or part number, look at and READ the descriptions CAREFULLY. It is important to understand what the description is saying as well as what it IS NOT saying.

Anyone can pull a fan out of a system and plug it in to see if it turns. But TESTING the fan properly, to see if it is performing correctly is actually a rarity and likely, never done at all.

Many listings today are offered by opportunistic sellers who have little or NO actual experience who buy recycled fans in bulk and offer them without ever doing anything more than blowing them off.

LOOK at the photos of the fan you are considering purchasing. Often, you can still see the old Thermal Grease or pad and the dust and dirt that is encrusted on the fan blades. Hair, lint and who knows what, is still in the fan when they sell it and ship it to you.

READ THE SELLER'S FEEDBACK. Email them with specific questions. Ask if the fan is new, used, or reconditioned. You can gauge their response time and answer to your question easily.
