ok hey guys
My computer fell about 10cm onto tiles. And since then the fan has been quite loud.
I have cleaned the fan and is still noisy

I was then going to put some oil onto the bearing,so i lifted the sticker. But its civered with plastic..
Is there a secret way to take apart a fan? (Also there is nothing on the back either)

If nobody knows, im going to drill a hole where there should be one tomorrow
Post anything that can help me - Thankyou everyone

also could try searching the model and see if there a common fix for it, or somewhere that tells you how to pull it apart.

It's just making a noise like a really loud fan.
Nothing like it's hitting anything etc, which is why I thought it needed lubricating

And it's definitely the fan itself, I've held it in my hand away from the computer.. So it's not hitting any cables inside the pc

Could it be the case resting close to the fan?
I've seen it before.

I tried. I think it's a small brand so there isn't much on the model or many of their other models,
I googles fan disassembly etc but every tutorial/thread has a hole under the sticker where they directly oil it.

I can't find anyone with having problems with no holes under their stickers haha..

get that on iPhone too, only in safari though, if you can, download Opera from app store, CG seems to load pretty fast on it for me.
