Need KDS-50A2000 "FAN" Part # & Advice

[JerZICE]

Hi Guys, The FAN that cools my BULB has taken a dump on my Sony KDS-50A2000 and I need the part# for a Sony replacement fan. I need this ASAP because my Optical Block is also bad and I only have 25 days left on my original 2 year Optical Block warranty from Sony and need to replace the fan before they come look at it. Any suggestions on places to buy the fan cheap would also help too. The fan I took out has "SFF21C" printed on it but I don't think that's the proper part # .

Also I have a huge problem with my Optical Block (Yellow Blob all over the screen) I bought the set in September of 06' and the warranty card provided says it's covered for 2 years from date of purchase. Will I have to pay for installation of the Optical Block even if the part is still under warranty? Also Where do I look for a Authorized Repair place in Northern NJ to get this fixed.

Any tips on how I should approach Sony on this would be greatly appreciated, I've heard so many HORRO stories about their customer service on this issue. I have been a loyal Sony customer for over 25 years and have everything Sony in my house, but I'm afraid they will try to give me the run around on this and lose me as a customer for good :(

Thanks for any help you can provide me!

Uh, you could call Sony to find an ASC and to answer your questions about what you will have to pay for. The part number can be found by calling the sony repair parts center in KC, or the research department of a Sony distributor like TriTronics, Vance Baldwin, or Andrews.
