Seeking advice: noisy laptop fan
My laptop is about three years old, and just a couple nights ago the fan on it started making much more noise than it used to. It's kind of a louder whirring noise (as opposed to a whining or grinding noise). I'm thinking it might be appropriate for me to remove the cover from the bottom of my laptop and clean it out. Also, based on the things I've read poking around the interwebs, I might want to look into lubricating the fan. I know there are people here who know way more about this kind of stuff than I do, so I just wanted to see if there were any words of wisdom or recommendations before I end up doing something stupid an irreversible. Any help?

It trumps all things because it's the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game. And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.
