    this a sad day..
    the first problem on my XPS m1710

    the left fan (GPU FAN) start to vibrate suddenly and i dont know why.. i guess that maybe it got dirty.. but i am not sure cause i use the computer and it goes good.. the turnet off.. goto my home and then the vibration comes.


    anyone here had the same experience?

    please drop me a word about what to do..

    thank you.

    It should still be covered under warranty then, it sounds like a bad bearing in the fan to me.

    I think the fan might be bad, cleaning it cant hurt, but if the problem persits you may need to replace the fan, heres some more in depth information,
