Laptop Update

[Antoine]

I am not in Sales. The point of providing the links was to show that you should shop wisely. I usually pay $8 to $15 for this component.

Identify your part number and search accordingly.

Oh I already know some pp over charge horribly (infact that first link), but the same could be said about low prices too then it makes you think “ummm what wrong with it?” But I guess ill have to look into it myself

Salvaged electronics are sold by the pallet load. A pallet of 30 to 50 laptops costs me about $8 to $10 per laptop (I only buy product originally released within 5 years recent). Any single component sold between $15 to $20 pays for the laptop and the labor. Any other component sold is bread and butter. These components are known as ‘pulls’. This type of sourcing is what you are looking at in most online deals.

A CPU or GPU cooling assembly, with or without fan, is well priced at $15 to $20. Fair market value. Only purchase from vendors who offer a reasonable warranty, typically 30 days.

Personal preference: I don’t use the old fans. Product life is probably expired.
