Re: FAN makes big noisy all the time!

Interesting.  I think I just have a touch of dust in my fan....   it's
making a weird flappy sound, didn't start doing it until a few weeks ago
-- yes I have ACPI...    

Either that or the fan is starting to die.   Sony Support:  "We can fix
that, but it will take 4-6 weeks."  WTF?  I had them replace my HD a
month ago and it was 1 week turnaround.  Anyway..
