Fan Repair

[Laminator]

My friend has a vanilla 6800 with a popped-off cooling fan. Here's an example of what the fan unit looks like (not the same card, but same situation).

Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow pop the fan back on and keep going? If not, is it possible to buy just a new fan or does he have to buy a whole new cooling unit?

should be able to just push it back on..... I've had to take fans apart like that before to clean 'em. The pin should go back into the bushing with some force applied

Thanks, will try!
