Can this be used with adapter? I ordered one of these fans thinking I could use my old adapter, but it came with no adapter hole. I am returning it for a refund. How can I get what I ordered?

I have the same issue/question... there definitely is a model that has a DC power port, and when I ordered from here the picture showed that model (and this listing still shows the same picture). The power port is on the right side as you view it from the front. HOWEVER, the unit I received did not have the port. I would love to know where I can purchase one.

I'm not the company that sells these fans. But like my review says I use this fan with the optional adapter I purchased from their website.

Ditto to what some are saying.. there is no port to plug in any adapter.. what I received does not match the photo. clear references to working on the adapter in several reviews, including the ones highlighted. Amazon, you need to update the picture and state clearly to ignore the reviews that state it can work on the adapter!!!!

I don not see any place for one. It is battery operated only. It is a fabulous fan and my batteries are lasting a long time. Very satisfied. Katherine

No this fan did not work at all on my board, it was a wast of time to try and replace the fan. I ended up get a fanless video card (Asus GT520 2G DDR3 PCIE DVI/HDMI/VGA LP ENGT520 SL/DI/2GD3 Graphics Card).Bob

I have not been able to find anything that works - I haven't thrown it away as I keep thinking I'll find somewhere it will work - no luck so far. I reviewed what others have said - it becomes obvious that we are not all getting the same item as some state things like 'no adapters included' or 'not as illustrated' mine was exactly as pictured and came with two adapters - this is the only one I can comment about.

I purchased http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MAZQCK/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked just fine for the fan for me.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

One of my misters doesn't work. I would like to buy mister outlet too. I called company and they don't make this fan anymore though I just bought mine and don't have replacement parts. I would like to know if you find place to get parts too.

I exchanged emails with O2Cool in Chicago via their website, and got this reply (the "adapter" they reference is just the electrical cord/plug that comes with the fan): Yes. You can use this fan with the adapter which comes with the fan in European outlet . You just need to get the converter for the plug since they have different outlets in Europe. Regards,O2COOL

Sorry. I got a defective fan and so returned it. Didn't run it for anywhere near that length of time.

NO!!! if you want to use this in the house, you'll have to get a 12 volt adaptor. Make sure the adaptor you use can handle the amperage of the fan...it will tell you how many amps your fan draws on the box it came in...get an adapter with some "headroom" (in other words, if the fan motor draws 2 amps, get a 5 amp adaptor) -that way you won't have problems with the adaptor getting to hot and failing prematurely. I hope this helps! :)

In a answer to this question on another listing for the same product, Stephie answered: If your fan has an option for it you can use an adapter like this: Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter; Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

I don't sell any parts. Most of the people answering questions are people who bought the same unit and are just trying to help others decide whether to purchase the unit. I would think the manufacturer could tell you where to get the part, otherwise I would remove the bad fan and see if the local electrical supply has one that will work. I haven't had any fan problems so far.

Careful on this one, we ordered for the exact system you did and did not get the correct version of the fan. I think there are two versions and we ended up having to order the fan we needed off ebay at the end.

Can you be more explicit. I have the same exact fan. The cable has a round plug at one end that plugs into the fan and a usb plug that plugs into the laptop. Are you saying the round plug does not fit into the cooling pad. I cannot imagine that the plug they supplied does not fit. Maybe you should rephrase the question.

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

not sure, but i think not. the light in this even though it is LED is dim dim dim. tried to find another type of brighter light to swap out but that couldn't be done either. no type of adapter kits would work according to Manufacturer . Fan is great, quiet and powerful so I kept it. just don't depend on it as a source of light.

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.
