Cooling Fan

[Iconoclast]

My venerable machine is still chugging happily along on its second HDD, but the cooling fan has decided to die. Does anyone please have ideas as to where I might get a replacement? Fans with the same typenumber (FD125015LL) are available but not the same brand (ORITEK). More to the point, fans available today are two wire, whereas my old one has three wires. Do I just wire the black and the red and forget about the white?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks - Mike -

I can't guarantee it's the same, but I imagine the HDR-FOX is pretty similar to FOXSAT-HDR with regard to the fan. You might get some ideas from my guide here: HDR-FOX Commissioning, Disassembly, Repair (click)

I doubt the third wire (tacho) is used.

Thank you BH - an informative and enjoyable read. It must have been a considerable effort on your part
