Help with a few things

[Zepto USA]

first things first.

I can get you some pictures for changing or cleaning the heatsink/fan. Second thing, I asked you to PM about another kind of option, like you asked for other "configurable" laptop manufacturers. We might have something for you.

Oh, well pictures would be great, please do send that if you can. Also, it appears that the particular fan used in these laptop is unusual and therefor hard to find a replacement. Any suggestions there? I'd like to order it somewhere within Europe if possible, but so far I haven't been able to find it online. But then again I'm not completely sure on the name or model/brand of the fan so I might be doing a bad search. As far as I can tell it says something like "Asuras" on the fan.

And as for other configurable laptops; As I said, I'm only asking about that in case I'm in a need of a new laptop. I'm just asking for general directions so I can look into it, don't need to buy anything right now so no hurry :P. Also, as I said, I would preferably buy one from a European company. I'd rather not order anything from the US unless you guys really have something truly unique and affordable to offer :P? Especially since regional things come into play such as warranty, not to mention parts or even a keyboard in the right language :P

I never said you should buy in the US ...i'll look into the images

the scratchy sound is usually due to the oil evaporated from the bearing, I did took it apart completely, and filled it with some oil from my car and it became quiet. Ask someone who's not afraid to break to do it. Just be careful and take loads of photos so you know where everything's going.

I'm sorry but neither I, nor anyone else I know is that tech savy :P I don't even know what the bearing is and how its filled with oil or what kind or anything :P.

P.S. I just Googled this fan oiling, bearing stuff and it does sound possible that it might be this, but is it a common problem for laptop? And how dangerous is it to oil the bearing? Keep in mind I'm not that good with hardware (meaning I don't know as much about hardware. I'm more of a software guy, programming and stuff). My dad is pretty good with hardware, its sort of in his job description since hes a designer for navigational devices. But either way... is it risky?
Oh and if I do do this, the pictures would be great help to make sure I'm doing it right.

Am not familiar with the 6625WD but can guess that it uses an ADDA blower type fan with hypro bearing. These fans are not long lived and are prone to failure should the lubrication leak out or dry out. I don't beleive these fans can be disassembled and properly re-lubricated. However, it is possible to spray some dry, teflon lube in the gap between the fan blades and housing. It will quiet the fan for a time but won't last long. The fan shaft is most likely worn out so you'll have to replace with a new fan. If you can post some photos, that would help.

Well my dad tried to open it and take a look but he was unable to remove the bottom case cover. So thats what we need help with right this moment, either by instructions or pictures, a guide to how you actually take off the 6625WD bottom cover.

[G0gge]

Well it's been a while now, I would really appreciate those pictures and instructions. I was planning on opening the laptop up tomorrow and trying to oil the bearing, but as I said I need a guide for this kind of fan and prefferably pictures so I know what I'm dealing with..

Please enlighten us... how did you extract the fan's shaft from it's bushing?

[G0gge]

... I don't want to seem impatient here but I really don't wanna risk my computer, so can anyone PLEASE help me out here a bit. All I need is some directions. How to open up the computer and oil the bearing, and where I can get a replacement fan. That's all.

Thanks again.
