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.

OK, will do. Just to note, none of lines of investigation have been fruitful. The ND55C0F/ND55C0G variants do not fit properly (they are too thick). CDRTD are advertising the item for sale, but actually do not have the item, likewise with StoneTaskin and the Amazon US seller.
