I have a Toshiba satellite c55t a5123.
I took it apart and it has no fan.....
Doesn't look as though it had one installed. Is this correct

Can't answer your question definitively, but I did find a mention by a guy on Amazon that says his Satellite with the same processor (N2820) has no fan. There are also mini PCs using that processor without a fan. With a TDP of 7.5 watts, and a max temp of 105 degrees Celcius, I would not be surprised if your Satellite is indeed fanless.

But in searching for replacement fans for that exact model, I get plenty of hits. I'm not sure what to think!

Have you tried asking Toshiba?

Thank you 1shado1...
I came to the same conclusion but needed conformation. Small processer and lots of space is keeping the cpu cool enough to handle most apps

Again
Thanks

Mine has no fan. It still freezes. Toshiba had a recall on the battery. Took it out and ran on ac. It ran for about 2.5 hrs before it froze up again. Which is better. I got a laptop stand with 2 fans for cooling, but the fans blow air in not out.
