My M57ru is on its way back for the 3rd time due to fan failier. It sounds very much like a bearing.

Anyone else needed their fan replaced? According to Novatech they have never had a preblem with them let alone 3 in a row.

[eleron911]

No. It`s the first time I ever heard about it. I`m sorry to hear that. The fans could use a replacement , I always said, but I never meant it in the stricto-sense way

My fan is doing the same thing...constant ticking noise...pretty sure it's the bearing. I did a full clean (took the fan unit out of the notebook) and it didnt help, so my supplier is sending me a new fan (damned if I'm sending the nb back to the us for a replacement fan when I can do it myself...)

[eleron911]

yea,but not everyone is confident they can open up the laptop and replace it.
I know somebody with a gaming computer who NEVER opens it,he pays me to clean it for him

I think they might be messing up by just replacing the fan over and over. Perhaps a motherboard error is shorting it out, and using my most creative far-fetch insight, this clicking noise you are hearing is actually an electrical arch within the fan's motor, caused by the motherboard sending it too much power, which eventually kills the motor? Hum, I don't even believe myself on this one...
