Yesterday, while working, I had gotten to a point where I was ready to throw out my laptop.  The humming from the fan was enough to make me mad.  So I went a’searchin’ for some possible causes to my very LOUD non-stop fan issue and found a little piece of good info:

If your computer is still under warranty, call the company and have them send you a replacement part.

Dude, I KNOW!  Who would have thought of that? *dials* I got my new fan this morning and just installed it.  And HOLY HELL this is the best thing.  I feel like I have a new laptop.  It’s so quiet and peaceful.  The fan ONLY goes on when I’m really pushing it...like opening 12 different Adobe programs (do they make 12?) and even then, it’s like this little hum, barely there. Oh man, life is good.  and quiet.  I love it!
