Has anyone replaced the cooling fan in their laptop? My laptop is still under warranty, Gateway M-6848, but I don't want to send it in for service because it will take 7-10 days. I need it for work.
Looking on the net, it does not look like it would be that hard to replace, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has done it. The laptop makes a grinding noise and then will take a bit to stop. It just seems loud at times. I have already used compressed air to clean the fan, which helped some, it got rid of the cat hair
.
I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.
