    Default Acer Aspire One, buzzing from fan.

    Hey,
    I have an Acer Aspire One A150 Netbook and I can hear a distinctive buzzing from the fan area. I nearly dropped it today but managed to catch it, could there be a wire which is being hit by the fan blades?
    I know this is a fan problem because when the fan isn't running, I cannot hear the buzzing.
    Is it worth me opening it up to see if any wires are being hit?
    Cheers.

    I know its a long shot, and i honestly know nothing about these sorts of things, i had a problem where i heard a buzzing, and it was actually a screw/bolt had come ever so slightly loose, it knocked against something really fast, making a 'buzzing sound' - Sorry i couldnt be of more help

    Alrighty, I had this sort of problem a while ago. It could just be a broken fan clip and when the fan is on, its shaking a bit since the clip is broken. The best thing to do is if its under warrenty, go get it fixed. If not, go to a computer shop and they could have a quick look
