Acer Aspire V5-571PG CPU Fan proplem

I know a lot of people have the problem of having the fan start making grinding noises, so what needs to be done. Is it a bearing of some sort, or is it touching the casing?

So I have had a lot of trouble with this computer. When I had my fan checked out, it was full of lint and stuff. When the guy put everything back together it wouldn't boot up. I don't have any warranty on this product I believe, as it was bought over the internet. I may be wrong. My hard drive had died. It would spin up, but it made this wierd clinking noise, so I am told that might be the arm. It is a while after now, but my fan is acting up again. Here is a link to a video of the sound it is making. Can anyone give me any advice? It is really starting to bug me.Here

Hello,

Your laptop is an Aspire V5-571P-6698.

The part number of the heatsink with the fan is:

60.M2DN1.003 - HEATSINK CPU W FAN

Hello,

I've watched your video. I think the fan impeller rubs on something. A bad bearing whistles high or low (purring).

So does it need to be replaced? Can acer do something or do I just go to a local place for help? It is a very random timing that it happens, and tapping helps a little.

Your laptop is it under warranty?

I don't think I do as it has been over a year.

Do you think being able to change it?

Could you give me the first ten characters of the serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

I could not change it on my own as it is very complicated to take out all the motherboard and all, but I am sure I could find some expert help. NXM49AA014 is that okay?
