Back up before she packs it in

dying fan. Bring it in to any computer shop, they should be able to replace it.
Or... buy a new one entirely and enjoy the upgrade.

This thread title made me LOL.

But yeah, you can replace that fan for $20 max.

try some WD40 lubricant.... $2.80

It's probably a fan, but possibly your hard drive or your dvd/cd-rom. With a little bit of help from google, some handy-work and a little bit of luck, you should be able to fix this yourself for a fraction of the price a shop would charge you. Unless it's still under warranty, which even then it will take awhile to get it back.

Good luck!

The fan on this comp is fucked. Though it's been like this for about 2 months, and i've still not got round to getting it fixed...

Shitty.

I've got a gateway laptop with a noisy fan in it... it's been that way for a while, no clue how to crack it open to fix it though. Might have to try a repair shop one of these days.

Cracking open some laptops are a bitch, especially if that fan is under the board which most are.
