Hi Julian:

I did a little research on this problem and am sharing with you the link:
http://www.ehmac.ca/mac-ipod-help-troubleshooting/9004-powerbook-g4-fan-noise.html

If you read through the discussion you'll notice a section discussing the
wiring and the fan proper.  It just may be the case that you'll have to have
your powerbook checked out by Apple certified engineers to insure that more
serious problems don't exist.  I also found this link:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=504823

However, essentially the solution is the same, take the powerbook to be
examined.

All the best...
