Hi,
The top fan (the one with 7 fins that's above the CPU cooling fan) is making a groaning noise. I can't figure out how to remove it in order to clean it, though I did spray compressed air on it through the grill on the back of the computer tower.
The computer works fine, software wise, but that groaning sound is scaring the crap out of me and makes me afraid to run the computer for more than five minutes at a time. I've been searching the Internet for even the name of this fan, but to no avail. I even tried searching the manufacturer's part ID number (CN-0Y2682-17972-452-31X1, Rev A01, China).
Does anyone know what this fan is called and/or how I can fix it?
Thanks a million in advance!!!!!
