Sorry for the late reply - the volume in this forum/list is getting silly! (A good sign for Slim Devices, I'm sure) In my experience (I've replaced one PSU fan) it was a standard sized unit that was soldered onto the PSU circuit board. So, soldering may be required. Of course, if you're not comfortable with a soldering iron then a new PSU would be your best option.
