Great instructions, but where to buy good replacement fans for this tablet?
Cole Blotcky - Dec 17, 2022
so i was only able to find the exact fans only at one place. and it’s overseas (china), so the delivery time is about 2 weeks minimum even with expedited shipping. Fan ID– SUNON GB1209PKB1-A 12V 2W 4wires Cooling Fanwebsite i found them : elecok.com good luck. these instructions were close enough for the pro model of the 27" wacom cintiq.don’t attempt to open this without the Opening Tool or you risk cracking the screen. learned from experience.

Do any fans exist that can replace these very noisy fans and still do a competent job of keeping the equipment cool?

I want to disable the fans completely, will the monitor run if I just unplug the connector in step 13?
