How to replace your laptop's broken CPU fan without all the hassle.

"Six-month-old AT&T "Uverse" DSL modem can't even keep connected. Solution? Old CPU heatsink, a plastic desk lamp clamp, and a cookie box."

Maybe, just maybe, it's on the wrong side.

From the submitter:

The CPU fan on my computer broke. The screw holes of the replacement fan did not match up with the old screw holes in the heat sink (there were notches cut out of the corners, there was nowhere to screw the new fan to). I had to find a way to make my own screw holes for the fan, without impeding air flow.
