My batch 3 standard unit's fan is making grinding noises while it is running and this was recently received in January.  Is there anyway to replace this fan?  If I place the unit on the side, the grinding noise is minimal.

Hi, yes it is easy to replace the fan, I used a Sunon Miniature Fan 5VDC Square 25 x 25 x 6mm 2.2 CFM 2 Wire Leads, I cut the wires from the connector, leaving plenty of wire to reattach and then soldered the new fan to the connector.

Not sure where you are but there is a company on ebay uk that has these at a good price.

£3.99 each inc shipping, I am sure you will be able to find one and they are a fantastic replacement.
