Are all fans the same?

I need to replace the fan on my v3 (its the fan not the fuse) can I use a fan from a v5 or v7?

yes

you can use a v1-7 fan.. they run off 5 volts.. Do not use a fan from a v9 or v10 they run on 3 volts and it will kill the fan if you hook it up to 5 volts.

Uhm, I thought they were 7V? V1-7 fans...

That's a fan from a V5.

Yeah, don't know what netmech is talking about. You can apply 5v to the fan and it will still spin, but not at full speed.
