NOISY COOLER

[vibe]

A MONTH AGO I BOUGHT A SVGN-S3XP NOTEBOOK. THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE NOISE OF THE COOLER(VENTILATOR) HAS INCREASED 2 A LEVEL THAT I NEED 2 TURN IT OFF 2 AVOID GETTING A HEADACHE.
UNFORTUNATELY, CONTACTING SONY,BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERANTIONALLY HAS BEEN A NIGHTAMARE. I'M REALLY PISSED OFF.
DOES AENYBODY HAVE ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AND A WAY OUT?

PS TRIED TO CLEAN WITH COMPRESSED AIR. NO RESULT.

What did Sony say regarding the problem?

THEY ADVISED I SHOULD SEND THE NOTEBOOK TO GERMANY FOR 10-15 WORKING DAYS(MAYBE MORE) FOR POSSIBLE REPAIR..DO U KNOW WHETHER I CAN DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD SAVE ME THE HASSLE?

This series is known for being noisy.
But as it's hard to measure noise on the forum, I thought you meant louder than normal

Correct..
EXCESSIVELY louder than any other notebook i've worked with...at a point that i have to turn it off to avoid getting a headache..
