VGN-A617S strange fan sound

[pretnarm]

I an using this notebook for about 4 years. About 2 weeks ago fan started to making strange noises (usually when working on 100%). Noise is getting louder and I am afraid that fan will stop working.

The fan is cleaned every week with air duster.

I would be very very grateful if anyone could help!

Thanks

Fan start to making same noises again. Below is the mp3 file with fan noise.

I noticed that noise appeared after cleaning vents with airduster.

Is it possible that fan will stop working?

It's hard to say, if you are concerned then it's probably best to contact either one of Sony's authorised repairers.

To find contact details for Sony Vaio support..

Open Vaio support, either by clicking Support at the top of this page or use the following link:Vaio support

Under Log-in option

Under Log-in option 1: Enter your vaio models serial number, which you should find on the bottom of your Vaio.

Then click Log-In

Once logged select Get In Touch

Then Click on the Out of Warranty tab to locate the nearest location

.

or

Alternatively ask a local repairer for their opinion..

Ordered fan, I should get it in about two weeks.

Finally get the new fan

Notebook is running very quietly now (the same as when it was new)

Also when CPU running on 100% the temperature is about 10°C lower (72 - 74°C), probably because of new thermal paste (AC MX-3)
