Solution for broken laptop fan?

My HP Pavilion fan went out. I bought it from BestBuy in 2017.
Bring it in to get fixed. The part is obsolete. HP doesn’t make a replacement anymore.
Try to find a generic replacement compatible part. Doesn’t work.
Seems crazy that something as simple as a broken fan will render it useless.
What are my options? Will a lap fan work well?

Sometimes you can find laptops for "parts only" on ebay (or maybe even the actual part) - it would be cheaper than a new laptop. And I assume you've done a google search for the fan part number?

I guarantee you HP never made the fan. It's a generic fan that HP used and assigned a part number to. I can see where they may not carry that part number anymore, but you can search for fans by size in millimeters. I would try that and include Aliexpress in your search.
ETA: you may have already done this, but I would test the fan to make sure it is actually bad and not something else like a loose connection, short, bad controller, etc.
