Is replacing the fan the only way or what are my other options?
What other options are you looking for?
The only way to fix this is to replace the fan

Take out the fan and look up for the part number
Also, it's best to replace both fans at the same time. The fans are really cheap, usually no more than RM50 a piece if you know where to look

If you're not sure where to look, take a picture of the label on the fans and share it here

I also had a look through AliExpress using the part number and still costs >RM150+.

Get the CPU & GPU option so you can replace both

Doesn't really look the same as the above.
The original image you provided shows the plastic part on top of the fan, which is why it appears black. Meanwhile, the link I shared shows only the bottom side, which is metal, giving it a silver appearance.

Rest assured, it’s the same fan.

May I know also why do you suggest to change both fans?
Certain batches of the same laptop model may use fans from different manufacturers. These fans can differ in speed and air pressure, potentially affecting performance.

By replacing both fans, you ensure consistent operation with matched speed and airflow.

Additionally, the remaining fan in your laptop, although still functional, could fail unexpectedly—making it practical to replace both at the same time.

Another option for you:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006688138441.html

Note to consider:
AliExpress shipping is slower than Shopee, and the shipping charges are higher as well.

If you're that particular about every little detail, just swallow the RM300 cost and buy it directly from Lenovo. Problem solved.
But if you want to save money, then buy from the link I shared and stop being so fussy.

It might not look exactly like the one in your laptop, but it will 100% fit.
I’ve mentioned this before, but here I am repeating myself—Lenovo doesn’t rely on a single supplier. They use multiple sources, even for fans, so expecting every part to be 100% identical is a bit unrealistic.
