    Hey guys,
    I own a Dell Latitude D630 which I am VERY CLOSE to throwing out. One of the most recent problems is that the fan stopped working.. I heard a couple of colliding noises from that region and it never functioned again.

    My question is: How can I open my system to see if I can fix the problem myself. Maybe something is obstructing the fan. Dirt, Hair, anything! I am not paying a technician or investing any further in this laptop. If I can get the fan to work, I can atleast keep this one as backup... instead of throwing out.

    A video or picture tutorial available somewhere? Or is this problem fixable w/o opening the system SOMEHOW? (i am hoping for miracles)
