I've had my laptop just under a year, about 11 months. At the start it ran quiet as a mouse but gradually got louder with the fans and dust. I had to open up my chassis last week as I had a problem with my wireless adapter. So I took this opportunity to spray some compressed air in my fans and give it a clean. This was about 7 days ago.
Now last night when I got back from Golfing I started the baby up and the fan is just making this horrendous noise. Not a noise like a fan hard at work, but one that sounds stuck or loose. I opened her up and checked to see if anything was loose, and it wasn't. I unscrewed the fan and took it in my hand trying to see if there was anything caught, nope. I did try and spin the fan with my finger and it would make the exact same noise that appears to be happening when I turn my computer on.
I recorded the sound with my phone and have attached it here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
