Re. Acer Aspire Desktop PC T120E
For the last 2 weeks, I have detected that my pc was making a slightly different noise from usual. Not really much louder, but different.
Yesterday, my pc had been on approx 3 hours, when it started making a loud noise like an engine/whirring. Turned it off and left it for 20 mins. It was ok when I turned on again, just back to the slightly different noise as before.
To my computer novice ears, I think it may be the fan. Does this sound the most likely cause?
Is replacement DIYable? (my experience of internals is only adding more DDR memory) Do I need a soldering iron? If its the fan, where do I get one from?
Many thanks.
