Re: Q-Tips and rubbing alcohol?

There was actually very little dust in your computer.  I sprayed it, but
it didn't do much since it was already fairly clean.  I spinned the fan
around by hand and it spun smoothly.  When I put everything back together
and turned it back on, it was still noisy.  It's possible that the entire
fan just needs to be replaced.

I also was unable to install the M.2 SSD hard drive since there wasn't a
screw in there.  It's possible that it came without the screw.  So, we'd
need to order another one.

It might make sense to just buy another computer instead of continuing to
deal with this one.  The newer ones are quieter and consume less power.
I'll let you make the decision whether to try to repair this computer or
not.

I also lost one screw.  I screwed three of the four screws on the bottom
and seems sturdy, but, if we keep this thing, we'll probably want to get
another screw.
