Replacement 40 x 20 mm, 5V Fan for 3Com Baseline Switch 2928-SFP Plus

The fan on the above switch was on its last leg.  The Fan dimensions are 40x40x20mm. It is a 5V fan.

I am looking for a replacement. The photos allow anyone with a similar fan to comment and suggest a replacement.

I am considering the Noctua NF-A4x20 5V, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin, 5V Version (40x20mm, Brown) and would appreciate if anyone could confirm whether they have managed to get this model to work and what how they paired the wires of the Noctua to the red, white and black wires of the 3Com fan.

If anyone has used another brand please share model and link. Important that the fan is quite and good quality.

How To Reset the firmware, wifi on GoPro Hero 3, 3+ and sync it with latest version of GoPro Quik

Image
Like others, I fished out my old Go Pro HERO 3+ and found that I could not link to it via WiFi because I had forgotten the password. A quick search on the internet and it seems that there are still many users of this good, albeit old Action Cam. Some had purchased one off eBay or from a second-hand shop while others, like me, found it in a drawer and decided to repurpose it. If the GoPro has not been used for a while it might not be on the latest firmware. Note that these models are no longer supported. The common thread is that without the Wi-Fi SSID and password, it isn't possible to control the camera from the phone using GoPro's Quik software. I referenced these sites: 1.  HERO3/3+ Information And Troubleshooting : This is an official GoPro Site from where you can download the camera firmware and update the camera Wi-Fi for the HERO 3 and HERO 3+. 2.  Software Update and Reset for GoPro Hero 3, 3+ and 4 : This is another source for firmware (covers more models) and there is
