Computer Fan Help

[U2Girl1978]

Well, the fan on the back of the computer doesn't seem to be working properly. I cleaned off the dust but it sounds like a vacuum cleaner running! Does anyone know if it's broken and needs to be fixed? What needs to be done?

Thanks for the help!

Our fan did that awhile back - we ended up having to replace it...

Same here.

They're not very expense or difficult to fix. Shouldn't be too bad of a fix.

peel off the sticker on the backside, pop out the plug and put some oil in it. New fan is $5
