    I'm using HP Pavilion dv6226tx
    I can hear some weird noises from the area nearby vents (where the fan is located)

    for troubleshooting..I've followed these steps:
    1. I've cleaned the vents.
    2. Reduced system load by disabling AERO and even tried restarting the machine in SAFE MODE.

    but no success :(

    now what should I do??
    any ideas..??
    Thanks in advance :)

    HP.com -> support -> search for your model, choose manuals and look for Service and Maintenance guide in the list. It has detailed instructions with pictures how to do it.

    Just look for the part number in that service manual and google it, you'll find shops selling the part. Then use any currency converter you want to convert that price to your preferred currency.
