    Hello guys,

    So i got the laptop that the title says and notice a weird noise in possibly the Fan or HDD. Its a constant trimming sound like some sort of mini-shaving device for shaving your beard. I don't know where it's really coming from I would have to open it up to be 100% sure but I'm guessing the fan is the problem...

    Is it better to open it up and clean the fan and risk losing warrant or return the laptop for a new one?

    Or is it maybe the HDD and do you suggest an SSD upgrade?

    THanks in advance

    Brand new?

    Returnable?

    What are you waiting for?

    (Ever had a mechanic look at a new car? They never run the same again...).


    Return it now - but I suspect that it is the design of the 202's (the fans are just too small, spin too fast...).

    Hope I'm wrong... (and the new one is 'fixed').


    Good luck.
