So my laptop fan is messed up, as said in the description. It started yesterday. I installed portal 2 again and played it a bit. Then I accidentally turned my computer off. I turned it back on again and made myself comfortable in the seat, which consisted of moving. As I moved, the laptop went with me and made a grinding kind of a sound, and it only happens when the laptop is moving. It is loudest when the laptop is turning on and the fans are going faster. Then it goes to the desktop and the fan slows, but it is still noticeable, but not as much.
I then sent ACER an e-mail about the issue. A guy responded that it would cost $249 US, and I was like "YA FUCKING RIGHT!". I paid $430 for the laptop. Im not paying more than half of that to fix a fan.
My dad thinks that the fans bearing is broken, and that you can buy a new fan for it. Or if you take the motherboard out (the fan is underneath) that he can maybe fix it. I'm just posting this to see if any of you guys knows what could be wring with it. Please help! Tell me whats wrong, how bad it is, how it can be fixed, or if it can't how much it would cost to fix it. If you could give a url for the fan, that'd be great too
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5749z-4861. 15"
Thanks in advance
