Is this fan on the front or rear of the case? You should be able

some screws holding it.

Thanks for the quick response. I won't work on it tonight, but
soon. I'll let you know if there is trouble. The fan is in the
back-right when the computer lies horizontal, or back-top when
vertical.

Here are the pics of the fan. The flash was bright.

OK, that appears to be the fan that cools the CPU, if so it is probably
removeable and I think I'd replace it if possible.
