If you do what Bryan said then you don't need to open your laptop. Just get a canister of compressed (for about 5bucks from Fry's if you're american) and spray it into the fan.

hmm, alrighty,

Bryan, you're from canada? cool!

Sure am. I'm going to school at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and home for me is Newmarket, Ontario.

ahahah that's sick, im from Hamilton. anyway, i just took apart the lappy, and it didnt have a direct fan
it was heatsinked to a bigger heatsink which gets cooled down by a fan
i looked at it, spray some crap on it, my dad had some downstairs
and then made sure everything was alright and closed it up again but i still have the problem X_X

It could be a resistor that is shorting or something, have a look, to see if any of them are touching where they aren't supposed to be.

No, not like that you dirty people
