Hello can you tell me where to buy the fan and the plastic case opener?
This is the 500GB 2015 version they're showing.
I have the Shield TV Pro Model: P2897 (2019 version)-> The latest model, even though it's 7 years old as of 2/1/25.
The pictures shown here looks nothing like the model I have.
You would think that even though these instructions provide detailed information on how to replace the abnormally noisy Fan that they would include information on what MODEL they're using here, unbelievable.
