    Hi all,


    The fan on my laptop makes a loud rattling noise when I move the lid to different viewing angles also, when lid is on my lap and I move the fan rattles.

    Technical Support from my laptop dealer says this is common and does not warrant a repair/replacement laptop.

    Anyone else had a similar problem? How did your laptop provider deal with this issue?

    pls help

    No, your fan should not be rattling, that is not normal. It could be a sign of a faulty fan which could fail and cause your CPU to fry itself. Call back and demand that they swap it out because you fear that your fan may fail.
