Hello,
I have an Acer
Aspire S13 S5-371 that was bought in 2017.
Since a year or so,
the fan sometimes makes a weird noise, as if it was rubbing on
something, and suddenly stops, before starting again. At the
beginning, it was only once or twice per hour, when the fast was
going too fast. But now it's really often. When it begins it doesn't
stop and it makes a loud squeak every ten seconds.
I opened the laptop
and removed the dust, but it didn't improve. When I look at the fan
there seems to be nothing wrong. I cannot have it replaced now
because of the confinement in my country. I saw somewhere that
putting a little oil in the hole where the fan axis goes could work,
but I don’t want to make things worse.
I joined a recording
of the noise (I had to put it in an rar archive because the website
doesn’t allow me to join a sound file).
What do you advise
me to do?
Thank you
