    Hey guys, so lately, my G50VT's fan has been making loud noises when spinning (louder than usual), the kind of noise that makes you think like the rotor is messed up.
    Don't know if you know what I mean, but whatever.
    This started happening after I cleaned the fan by using compressed air and a small vacuum cleaner.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to get a new fan and replace it myself?

    Thanks.

    A quick search showed that it's out of stock at the estore and non-existant at asusparts.

    [ Edit: Ok, it seems like asusparts does have it, but I want to try fixing the current one first.]

    Any other websites to look up?

    Or better yet, anyone how to fix the problem?
