SRX 5308 Replacement Fans

Looking fior replacement cooling fans for SRX5308 routers. I have a blind friend who is very tech savy and needs 3 replacement fans.

The correct fan is ADDA AD0405MB-G73. I've dealt with ADDA, via EBay, in China, and they keep sending me the wrong fans.

Mouser has a minimum of 20 with a 16 week waiting times.

       And you chose a (consumer) "Cable Modems & Routers" forum to ask
    about this?

       My Ebay search for:
          ADDA AD0405MB G73
    found:

          https://www.ebay.com/itm/x/282959861527

    $18.80 (shipped from China) is a bit pricey, but "5 available" and "Make
    Offer".

       I might not recommend it to a blind friend, but, if the problem is
    bearing noise, then some of these kinds of fans can be opened (peel off
    the label, and save for your records), and a couple of drops of oil
    added, followed by a piece of tape (to replace the label/seal, on a
    clean(ed) surface), and they can run for years more (at approximately no
    cost).

       In some (lucky) cases, actual disassembly and cleaning can be done
    before re-assembly and lubrication, but the small fans tend to have
    shaft retainers which are tough to remove and replace (and very easy to
    lose or destroy).

      Many thanks. I ordered 3. (delivery mid to late June)

      I have one SRX 5308 in which to test the new fans.

       

      I'll let you know how they work
