Fan creates irritating noise whilst running.

Didn't happen at first but soon enough the fan started to create a noise that one would assume is made when the fan blade collides with something in the setup. I've tried opening it up but unfortunately the fan blades itself are covered and I cant even get to it with toothpicks.

Any help or ideas or help?

jaffri.bilal , Remove the fan link 1 and 2 show's how. Cleaning fan, guide link 3 blow it out with compressed air and inspect, ensure to clean heat sink pads and reapply heat sink paste and while device apart give it all a good cleaning, reinstall and see if it still making noise. If still noisy replace with new fan, link 4 is to new fan, which you can also do a search on for better pricing perhaps if needed. . Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Hi , I have the same issue but my laptop model is K501LB. I also would like to know how to teardown my laptop so i can clean my fan and reapply thermal paste. I'm afraid if i teardown my laptop without any guide, i might damage something else in the process. Please help. Thanks
