UPDATE: Found which part was busted (back fan ball bearings) And got it replaced. Quick fix! Carry on and thanks for the suggestions!

 -

So an hour ago my computer fan (not sure which) suddenly sounded it was grinding. I quickly turned off and now have to assess it.

Hopefully is quick fix and not a replacement etc.

Hope doesn't slow down anything but just a heads up may be slow to reply to DMs at the moment!

PS: (sketch done on phone if wondering how)

Could be a cable got loose and its smacking the fanblades, that happened with mine

If you can get to the fan, take the label off the hub of the motor. There may be a rubber plug there; if so remove it. If you can access the bearing, take some sewing machine oil, or some grease (car not bacon), or some petroleum jelly, or some automatic transmission fluid, and put a few drops on the sleeve. That should quiet it down for a while.

Funny enough, I checked the family computer in other room since I was fixing things, and a cable was jamming the fan on that one. So always good to do checkups :P
