So ive got this awesome laptop. And its got a fun(durr). And the fan is making noise.. like hitting against something in the case.. And im like :\
it only seems to happen sometimes, and only when im using it (lol), but seriously, i try pulling apart the case, and looking at it.. it seems fine tbh.
Unfortunately, i dont carry around a screwdriver to look at it now :( I know i probably should though.. Any other random ideas?

I've always wanted to hire a midget that looks like me and have him sit at my desk at work with a secret camera around so I can get the most priceless double take from my boss.

use a can of compresed air to blow all the dust off the fan, and check to see if a wire or somthing is hitting it. its probably your fan failing though, not uncommon in laptops tbh but cheap as hell to replace

Well if you are smart enough to take it apart and put it back together again then you are smart enough to fix it with the right part.

my laptop has been making the sound for years, so well don't think it is failing.
and compressed air did nothing, although it did get a lot of dust out.

pulled my computer apart a bit, played around.. when I do move around the wires to the fan it seems to not make noise, but I cant get them to stay in a proper position :( Is there somewhere I could go to have them take a look at it? >.>

yea lol, was thinking them.. but as you said, expensive indeed. worst case, they give me a quote and i run for cover or something.. meh.
the fan seems to right itself after a bit of making noise.. but its the making noise part i want to diagnose tbh

I had a noise problem with a psu i bought awhile back, there was a tiny little strip of plastic left from the mold or w/e they use that was hitting the grill. Also the ball bearings could be ****ed which i have had happen on the southbridge fan on a fairly new mobo.
