Okay, basically I've suspected for a while that something was going to happen with the right fan on my MBP, as its been making a lesser whirring sort of noise every now and again for weeks. So I was horrified but not too surprised, when it suddenly started to make a sort of noise that can only be described as heart stopping.
I've turned it off for now. Under normal circumstances I'd phone up apple, but I still have two weeks of projects and exams at Uni - I pretty much need it.
I have no real clue, but I imagine it being dust that has unbalanced the fan or something like that. On that premise, I'm really looking for quick fixes and short term solutions while I get the rest of my work done. I've read mixed suggestions about shaking
eek, vacuuming, and compressed air. I was wondering if any of these are likely to solve the problem, and if any of them are actually dangerous.
