DVD player fan Died

Hey just bought a 200 dollar dvd player and the fan died 1 month after the warrenty went up.
This wouldnt be a problem if i could just replace it. But the manufacturer put yellow putty stuff all over the place.
It's glued in a bunch of places and i was wondering if it would work if i just cut the wire and solder the new fan on the old wires.

 

Should not be a problem... Make sure the + and - are correct : )

Bang! (j/k) ; )

 

Thanks so much! I'd rather pay 5 bucks for a new fan than another 100 bucks for them to "diagnose" then fix it.

 

Yeah it will most probably be a 5v Fan, so it should not be a prob : )
