I have an old Laserjet 2100, but it still works great, with the exception of the fan, it sounds like it has a bad bearing.
The fan I believe is a 92mm but I haven't taken it apart yet, before I do I was wondering if anyone has successfully taken one apart and replaced the fan. Also can I replace it with a Scythe or Globalwin of the same size, or should I look for one with the same exact specs as what's in there now.
Anyone ever replace a fan in a laserjet 2100 printer?

Hi, you could try contacting Dorothy Bradbury who distributes NMB (formally Panaflo) fans. Has a great reputation for service and knowledge of fans. She can probably get you a suitable 24V replacement fan (eBay probably will too). I think your existing fan is ~2000rpm, I would guess that slightly less wouldn't be a problem as the printer no doubt designed to be capable of working in high ambient (30C+) so long as your house isn't really hot a slower fan should be fine.
