    My daughter's SZ1's fan has been getting noisier over the last year. I read that this happens always as the dust builds up. How easy is it to get into the SZ models just to clean the fan, the surrounding chamber etc? I have seen superb step-by-step instructions with photos showing how to get into other models to clean the fan and even the SZ range to change the hard drive. Can anyone who has cleaned their noisy fan and cured it!-please help- I'm going mad!

    That's the guide I was referring to! Doesn't help with fan though!

    What chances that I can get the noisy fan sorted under Warranty? Could they argue that the problem has been caused by the laptop being in a dusty environment and that had it been working in a dust-free lab there would be no problem?
