    Hi all,

    few days ago, my laptop suddenly started to make a lot of rattling noise.
    So I disassembled my laptop so I could remove the fan and see what's wrong. But when I unscrew everything from the fan and want to remove it, it seems to be stuck somewhere at the exhaust side.
    I don't really dare to pull harder because I might break something.

    Someone can help me or experienced the same problem?
    I don't really like to send my laptop to dell on my own costs & lose it for a few weeks :(
