Surface Latop Studio 1964 i7 replacement fan
- Aug 21, 2025
hi DesCallaghan check this out..
Here are the most realistic paths that do turn up the ND55C94-20M02 (right-hand) or known-compatible equivalents, plus some gotchas to watch for.
Where to buy (and ship to the UK)
- Exact model ND55C94-20M02 (right fan)
- CDRTD lists the exact fan (ND55C94-20M02 / 13N4-10B1K31, DC 5V 0.5A). They ship internationally; worth asking about UK shipping and stock.
- StoneTaskin has a listing explicitly naming ND55C94-20M02 alongside ND55C93; they show UK in their shipping matrix. Contact them for right-hand stock.
- Amazon US has ND55C94-20M02; many UK buyers use a forwarder when the seller won’t ship direct.
- Buy the pair (left + right) for the Surface Laptop Studio 1964
If you can’t find a single right fan, sets are more common (Nidec EC231K01 + EC231K02). There’s a recurring eBay listing for the pair; sellers often ship to the UK. - Official/authorized route
Microsoft UK now sells many Surface parts directly, but they don’t list Laptop Studio 1 fans yet. Still, try Microsoft’s UK repair-parts page or an authorized provider; they can sometimes order thermal modules even when not advertised.
Compatibility tips (so you don’t get the wrong fan)
- Right vs left: listings often don’t say; compare the mounting tabs and cable orientation to your original before checkout (the iFixit photos help).
- Thickness variants: Polar Tech calls out thin (ND55C93/ND55C94) vs thick (ND55C0F/ND55C0G). Order the correct thickness for your heatsink shroud.
- Part numbers to include in searches: ND55C94-20M02, 13N4-10B1K31, ND55C93, ND55C0F, ND55C0G, EC231K01, EC231K02. (These appear across the listings above.)
Install help
The iFixit guide shows the disassembly and fan swap (about 15–20 minutes with basic tools); use it to confirm cable length and screw posts match your replacement.
