Replacing the fan is easy.

You just need a T-10 screwdriver, a phillips screwdriver, some balls to take your PS3 apart and 30 mins to an hour.

Backup your HDD first then look on YouTube for YLOD fix videos. That'll show you how to strip down your PS3 to the point of taking the motherboard out of the case. That is as -far- as you need to go, cos then you just flip it over and unscrew the fan.

I've seen loads on E-Bay.

That's the only place I know to get one.
