Probably bearings, but compressed air is worth a try $$$ :-) . Just power off the device first!!! Also, be sure you do NOT spray the can with it in any position but upright, as cold co2 can be rough on electronics.

These fans cannot be repaired and is most likely the bearings are failing. The fan will need to be replaced. You can either find an OEM fan or a compatible aftermarket fan and splice it in.

Try spraying some compressed air into the fan blades.
