Add a fan

T-Z · 2024-03-01

Was gifted a gently worn Toshiba Satellite 17.1" S55-B5280 several years ago. Failed HDD. I maxed the memory and replaced the failed HDD with an SSD. After purchasing a new Acer running Win11, the Satellite is now happily running Ubuntu. Having been in and out of the case several times I have seen accommodations, mobo header and area in chassis, for a second fan. After searching ad nauseam, I can not find a single reference to any Satellite model with two fans. Any antiquated Toshiba laptop users know if their laptop is running a fan other then the CPU dedicated one?
