how do I fix the annoying sound coming from the little fan on a lenovo n100 laptop?
It still works it just makes this really annoying clicking noise 80% of the time. Can I oil it? Is it something easy to repair myself. ??? Should I spray it with compressed air?HOW? will i need to take it apart?

taking a fan apart shouldnt be that hard but its a laptop i would be really careful compressed air shouldnt hurt it i wouldnt oil it just try screwing it back on tighter you might need to buy a new fan but if you know what your doing and have confidence in yourself you will fix it good luck!

Are you sure it is your fan? There is this thing hard drives do called the click of death. But if it is your fan shop vac the dust out. if that doesnt work shoot it with a computer cleaner (bout 5$ at a CVS) and immediately shop vac some more.

Probably a fan, it kicks on when the thermal sensor gets warm. You might try small bursts of air through the cooling port to possibly dislodge anything hitting the fan. Don't hit it long and sustained or you can over-rev the fan and kill it. If not, the most likely moving part is the hard drive. Neither respond well to oil.
