    Alright I got a Sony Vaio SZ 430N about 2 years ago and it has been rubbish aside from being bogged down with bloatware, it overheats and the case is mildly warped I could deal with that but now the fan is making a buzzing noise its incredibly annoying. I am wondering if Sony Will warrant this in anyway as I rarely travel or bang the unit around I was going to try and open up the bottom of the unit but one of the screws stripped and I probably shouldn't open it up if I have any warranty left. I'll post a video I left my camera at a friends house though. Thanks in advance for any help I don't want to ditch a 2 year old laptop but this thing makes me want to pull my hair out and I am a college student with not much $ to throw away (especially in this economy) but I keep frequenting dell's Business laptop site knowing the come without bloatware. Also is there any service for a low price that could do a clean install I don't want to loose my music or a few programs and I am awful with PC's (had macs my whole life).
