I have a 2.5 year old MSI 20E gaming laptop. It's working fine, but I was getting some fps drops in games that I thought may have been attributed to the fan being dusty and not working as well as it should. I cleaned out my laptop fan and it's been running cooler for 3 or more weeks, but there was a slight rattle occasionally. Today, it suddenly started making a ton of noise. It sounded like it was over-rotating and about to come loose or something, so I quickly shut down my laptop. After that, the fan seems to be working fine and seems to be back to normal. However, I'm afraid this will happen again and damage my laptop. It has all my files for school and a lot of things I'd rather not lose.
What do you recommend doing? I'd prefer not to spend a ton of money, but it would still beat buying a new laptop. I'm also not hardware savvy to the point where I can replace parts myself, but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks for the help! Hopefully, I can get this resolved painlessly.
Also, I know there's quite a few threads with a similar problem, but I was also hoping that I could reply to answers to pinpoint the problem more accurately for my situation specifically. Especially if others have had an issue with the fan on the same model of laptop.
