complete strip down required to remove the fan in that.
don't try it unless you are experienced in taking electronic gear apart

The fan is making a lot of noise all the time sounds like an old motor taking the last breath.I tied to clean it but it only helps a little i use compessed air.

Do you mean that you want us to sell you the fan so you can install it yourself? I doubt that a PCIQ Professional would want to do that.

AFAIK none of us have access to secret sources of computer equipment. If I want to know the price of a part I identify the part number and look for it online, in just the same way that you would/could. From memory, the last notebook fan I bought cost me around £25.

Acer parts can be hard to get hold of unless you have an licenced repairer agreement with them.
Otherwise its a case of ripping the machine apart, identifying the model number of the fan, googling it and hoping you can find a trader in China who has one
You can't just go off the laptop model number as different batches often used different parts

However its unlikely the fan is faulty, more probably its full of dirt. In which case strip it down and clean it.I've given you the site where Tim in Australia has a copy of the manual.You say you're a computer tech. Give it a go.
