I was sitting on my couch just playing some WoW on my laptop Toshiba Satalite A135 When all of a sudden I start to hear this weird noise coming from the fan. I kind of just lightly tap my laptop not paying to much attention to it. About 10 minutes later that same noise happens this time with much more aggresion. So I get out of WoW and see if it's the game in any way. It still continues to happen. So I just shut my laptop off all together. I restart it and the same noise happens. Now ever since I got this laptop I've noticed that the fan stops, then starts if the laptop starts to get to warm. I finally took it up to my room and kind of "poked" around at the fan with a knife trying to see why it's making this noise. I finally stoped to noise but I don't really know what to do if it comes back. I still really don't know why it's doing it, my idea is that is rubbing up against something in the laptop making this grinding noise. I can still hear it now lightly grinding up against something but not half as bad as before. So my question is what should I do if it continues to do this? I can't really take it in any where since I don't have any money at the moment. It's not under warranty anymore so thats out of the picture.

Thanks in Advance :).

Thanks for the help. I just pushed the fan down and heard it click and now it seems to be better. Thanks for everything.
