Hardware surgery is a bad idea unless you really enjoy this sort of
thing and can afford to void your warranty.

Anyway, I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and the
fan was at full tilt after the install.  I then installed the latest
packaged nvidia driver 177 (even though I usually get the nvidia driver
from nvidia.com and install manually) via the "Hardware Drivers"
utility.  After a reboot the fan behaves normally.

Hth,
