I have a snap 2000 with a dying fan, It's under drive2 and over what I believe must be the CPU. It is noisy - sounds like it will fail. It also starts and stops. In debug mode, info thermal shows that it's OK, but the area feels hot to the touch.

I don't know if the starting and stopping has to do with thermally activated fan?

It is a small fan designed to fit within the heat sink. Does anyone know where I'd find a replacement? I'm assuming just letting the fan die would really put the clock ticking on the whole unit failing. Perhaps a larger exit fan on the case could be added.
