    Few hours ago, the fan next to the heatsink started to sound strange, like it's choking. It's really irritating. I opened the back panel, removed and cleaned the heatsink and blew some air through the fan. No joy.

    Really pissed off I pulled the fan connector off, but after turning the laptop on, CPU temperature went quickly to 55C (it's usually around 43C) thus it's not really an option.

    How to get to the fan and clean it up, or replace, for that matter? It seems that I would need to disassemble entire notebook just to get to the fan. :(

    Anyone experienced this? Any ideas?
