Hardware I need a new fan for me Switch

[Salduchi]

So after about 4000 hours, the fan on my launch Switch is starting to go. I think the bearing has gone bad. It ‘sometimes’ won’t spin and causes my switch to kind of vibrate and make a grinding sound especially in handheld mode.

What is the best fan to buy for the OG Switch? I see lots on eBay but I want to make sure it draws the same amount of power as the original fan so I don’t wear down any other components.

Thanks!

Just buy an OEM Switch Fan.

AliExpress has some cheaper if you're willing to wait for it to be shipped from China. From what I see, the Foxconn ones are the original and Delta are a good copy

Yeah as mentioned above, just get a new one. I would suggest honestly getting it from eBay or Amazon if it's available ion your country. You could get it cheaper on AliExpress, but remember at this time the shipping volume is large and you could be waiting for upwards of a months to receive it. The difference between saving a few bucks may not be worth the long wait time. But either choice is fine. Also, since you will need to open it, I would suggest checking if it may be clogged up too.
