Right "Fan" Noise in my Macbook Pro 2006

[gemallen]

My Macbook Pro 2006 started doing a peculiar noise on the right side, which sounds very much like something's wrong with the right fan.

I checked with Istat the performance of fans and they seem to be working fine at 1685 right fan and 1664 rpm the left one.

Any hints?

Thank you, Gema

Its quite common for the bearing and/or motor to give after a few years from dust build up, etc. I replaced mine about 6 months ago. Ordered the fan directly from ifixit.

Fan just died

Thank you for the reply!
The fan has just died and I'm in the middle of nowhere for a month. Shall I not use the computer at all until I arrive home?
Is it ok to use it occasionally?
Thanks GEMA
