You might also check to see that the cpu is attached to whatever heat
sinking device its supposed to be. Laptop fans are often attached to a
thermal probe so that they only spin when the system is getting too
hot. So its possible that your cpu has become dislodged from its sink
and is heating rapidly. Either that or there may be something wrong
with the probe. Of course, considering that if the fan is louder than
it used to be either implies it was never this hot, or that the fan is
damaged. Personally, I've never taken apart a laptop. I'm not sure
that you want to. But theoretically your machine should function
without even having a hard drive attached. See if you can get into the
bios, or if you can pull the hard drive out and boot off a CD. You
still might want to get it professionally repaired, but I'm less liekly
to think its a hard drive issue as a fan issue.
