If it is just dust then Carl's tip could be useful. It helped for one of my older laptops before it was replaced. I hope you have a recent backup! If you can get it running again (after the dust has been removed and it has cooled down) then a backup of the most important data should have highest priority if there is no recent one.-J. -------- Original message --------From: Carl Tollander <c...@plektyx.com> Date: 7/18/21 07:00 (GMT+01:00) To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] why, me, o lord?! Fan bearings. Keep it cool. Possibly some debris in the fan that a service person could blow out with compressed air.

It started with clunks and chunks and churrs but has now moved on to peeps and whistles. It’s latest production is a dying swan noise … a squeal, that descends in halftones and intensity followed by a scary silence… for a bit. Lenovo customer service seems to be “upgrading its systems” and has not responded for three days. Much as the noises sound like a dying mechanical hard drive, this machine has a solid state hard drive. Any thoughts? The machine seems to be working fine otherwise, but I am afraid it is going to shake itself to death. Sorry to bother you with this.
