Compaq Presario notebook noisey fan

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I have a Compaq Presario 3005US Notebook PC. It has a really loud whinning noise, I mean really really loud, and the notebook vibrates really badly. I thought it needed a new CPU / Heatsink Fan. So, I took it apart and took out the fan and spun it out of the computer with my finger, and it wasn't really making any noise. I found dust balls caked inside the heatsink and fan. I removed it all thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't help at all. Can anyone put me on the right track? Thanks for your help and time!

The fan likely has burnt-out bearing. Spinning it by hand probably does not give it enough rpm to necessarily tell. Your best bet now is to replace the fan.
