    Fan Problems?

    I don't quite understand. How would the bearing collapse to affect the fan in such a way? It all looked fine to me. I have had this issue for many months now.. But it changed and recently started occuring while I was using the device, rather than only starting it up usually once a day. A day or...

    Fan Problems?

    It spins fine? But it made that exact noise when I spun it from the top, especially when it's screwed in.. Sure I can buy a new one, but I would really like to find out what caused the problem in the first place. After months of anxiety from encountering this, and a whole week of stress from...

    Fan Problems?

    Why is that? How can I backup?

    Fan Problems?

    As you can see, there is only one screw holding the fan in place. A lot of the parts seem quite loose and wobbly, as I will show later below. And yes, I was wrong this entire time- I'm really sorry about that, but I suppose the consequence is having to wait longer to fix this problem that's...

    Fan Problems?

    It's preowned, and I've used it for a couple of years, usually all day every day. Should I take photos inside the laptop? Should I take a recording of the noise?

    Fan Problems?

    So.. It was running fine for a couple of hours. But after playing a game for about 30 minutes the noise/vibration issue came back for almost 5 minutes. It just stopped for a minute and then it came back, but at a more calm level. after a couple of minutes it suddenly got loud and intense again...

    Fan Problems?

    Oh, I cleaned every fan blade. It all seemed in good condition, just dusty. In fact, I decided to just try running the laptop again to see how it would go- Somehow, the laptop is running wonderfully smoothly. I started with placing it on a flat desk for a change, and then laying in my bed with...

    Fan Problems?

    Very well.. I did mention at the start that I took everything out to reach the fan and clean it out. But as I said I have to unplug everything from the motherboard and take it out if I want access to the fan. Those snapping sounds were not bad at all the last time I took it apart. After all, I...

    Fan Problems?

    I really need to know how to take it off.. After unscrewing everything, I had no idea how to pull it off. I'll send more pictures: If I look closely, I can see a thin layer of something. I'm not sure if it is the back cover or if it's the edge of a sticker or something else. I can't find any...

    Fan Problems?

    I never seen anything mention taking off the back cover in the manual or youtube video that I seen. Are you sure this version has a removable back cover? Is that what those screws are for? I will try taking it off tomorrow. Is there a specific way to pull the back cover off? If it turns out...

    Fan Problems?

    Wait.. underside base cover?? My mistake, I thought I had said something wrong there. I don't think my laptop has such a thing. Only access inside from the top of the laptop. Just to be sure, do you know which model I am using? I mentioned it in a post last friday.

    Fan Problems?

    I know how to take it apart. Like I mentioned, I already cleaned out the fan, but the issue still persists, which is why I need help. My problem with testing the fan while the computer is running is that I can't reach or see it, as it is below the motherboard. I can take off the base enclosure...

    Fan Problems?

    If that is the case, what should I do? I don't know if I can reach or see the fan as the motherboard is on top of it, covering it completely..

    Fan Problems?

    I'll give that a try. So I to stop the running fan by sticking in a soft bristled brush? I'm quite certain it is coming from the fan. I hear the sound much louder towards the left of the laptop where the fan is, as well as feelinh the vibrations stronger in that area, while nothing seems to be...
