So. the new laptop I was so happy to obtain earlier this year is mostly busted now. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but according to a couple online sources, the sounds it's making are quite possibly from a cracked fan blade. and in such circumstances, it's advisable to keep the fans turned off at all times... so the blade doesn't break loose at high speed and cause major damage. The fan isn't made to be replaced (it's actually glued in to everything around it), and I foolishly voided the warranty trying to open it up and fix what I expected to be a simple fix, like a hair caught in the motor or the axle needing oiled. I can't afford to get a replacement laptop so I'm just going to have to make do... but that means keeping the fan off, so no more rendering or games for me anytime soon.
Still kind of in shock about the whole thing.
