ASUS bf53 (or something like that) loud noise then crashes

I am pretty sure its the fan that has died and causing the laptop to overheat.

The hdd is OK as I removed that and used an external usb case to copy the files I need.

It seems that a new fan is rated at $60 for the part.

Youtube videos show a massive teardown just to replace the fan.

Any recommendations for a repair place / cost etc

The laptop is 6 years old but worked well till now.
