Update = Resolved-After completing troubleshooting, a DELL-Cares agent setup a part replacement.
My laptop fan started making this noise at high fan speeds. Given the frightening nature of this issue, I'm too scared to turn my computer back on. I've also found that sometimes when I turn the computer on, the fans aren't working at all for a few minutes. Despite this, temperatures appear to be ok (50-80 degrees). It's coming from the right hand side. Any ideas what might be causing this? Is my computer hosed? By chance is there an easy fix? Anyone else experience something similar? All help is appreciated, thanks! [URL]
