You first need to decide what is causing the noise.

Harddrive If so you need to back up data cause it is about to go bad.

CD/DVD drive happens as Laptops get older. could be dust or just going bad.

Fan then you need to take it to a good shop. Fan will most likely need to be replaced.

Probably one of the fans. Since it's 4 years old, it will likely be a pain to tear down completely to clean them out/replace them. I'd suggest taking it to a reputable shop of your choice - and not letting a 12 year old cousin fix this one - laptops and their thin ribbon cables are very fragile on the inside.


And DONT just attack the outside of the fan port with a can of air - blowing it back into the laptop will do more harm than good!

Fan may get quite after it runs awhile

Hard Drive is noiser at start up and when programs are loading

CDROM when being used

I have had my laptop for about 4 years and it seems that it runs louder than it used to. What could be causing this?
