HP Cooling Fan Mislabeled December 19, 2013

A few years back, Compaq released a line of CQ models of Presario, CQ50, CQ60 and CQ70, the HP equivalent being the G50, G60 and G70. They were pretty good laptops. My wife’s CQ60 is hanging by a thread, but she can’t part with it. One problem with these models was that the fan went out on them. This is easily replaceable, but, after a little while, people started telling me I shipped them the wrong one. Until I realized, HP was mislabeling the fans. There is supposed to be one fan for AMD CPUs and one for Intel CPUs. There is even a third rare version that goes inside an assembly.
I have marked mine by screw hole count, so you can tell the difference. This does not include the screw hole not visible on the back side though. I recommend you pull it out and confirm which version you have first so you do not risk receiving the wrong one.
If you have other questions about this model or other Compaq/HP models, feel free to write me at info@laptoppartsexpert.com. You can also find other parts for this and other Compaq/HP models available at our website www.laptoppartsexpert.com.
