So my insane sister has punched my computer a few times, once on the top and twice+ on the side...
Now the case was making this extremely annoying buzzing kind of sound, at first I thought it was the hard disk as it just gives off a sound distinct to a broken hard disk. Well it turns out it's the front of the case, something about the mesh on the front that goes infront of the fan. Before I got some thick paper/cardboard and slotted it down between the mesh and the plastic from the case (as seen in the diagram) and then it went away so I got rid of the paper. It's come back now, so I stuffed a couple of pieces more of cardboard down it and it lowered it, but it's still at an annoying volume. I guess I could get some even thicker card but I don't want to break my case e.g. bend the mesh or worse, split the outer plastic of the case.
Any idea how I can fix this?
