the fan in my asus x53e laptop has stopped working awhile ago. ive noticed it near the the end of the semester where the left side of my laptop became really hot and then checked to see if there was air flow on the side. it still boots up and works on different battery options but im scared that putting it on high performance will do permanent damage. is there a guide to replace the fan
Is this a good question?

Your first mistake was using a laptop with a fan failure. STOP USING THE LAPTOP UNTIL YOU REPLACE THE FAN, OR YOU WILL SHORTEN IT'S LIFE OR KILL IT!!!
You're going to need to tear the whole laptop down, down to the motherboard. You do not need to remove the screen, but this will take hours to fix most likely. For yours, the fan can be found here (and many other places). The P/N for the fan is ksb06105hb. You will find metal and plastic versions, but you really want the metal version for this laptop. This model's cooling is like every other laptop: compromised. The metal fan will help reduce the severity of the issue these are known for.

The guide that you link to shows as "Forbidden Access".
It just now showed "Forbidden Access" for me too.
