    Hello all, I have owned a M11x Netbook/Laptop for a little over a year now. Everything has been just peachy with it.... But, here recently.... My fan has been making the most obnoxious sound.... Which, frankly, sounds terrible. It has the similar sound to that of a blender. So.... I have no idea if anyone knows what to do to fix this or not. If you do, please.... I'm desperate for the help.

    Ive had mine for a little under 3 months and it every now and again does that, as though something has got into the fan and it was getting raked. But it doesnt happen all of the time.
