I'm pretty brave but it doesn't always end well...R.I.P. vaccum cleaner...

When I got online yesterday it made a funny whining noise and I was afraid fan had seized up or something so turned it off. There is a computer place 2 blocks from new apt so took it in this AM. I don't know if they took the bottom off or just blew it out but its fine now, no weird noises. He said it was pretty dirty and did a fan stress test and said fan is fine. Only cost me $20 and was worth it to me so I'm happy. Looks like they cleaned the chocolate off the keyboard too.

It isn't running real well so I may be rushing start up, will try giving it a little more time. It may have just been dust though, it was sitting near an open window and the heater/ac combo blew on it too and when I cleaned the filter on the latter before I moved it was full of dust from the wildfires. Guess sitting by the window isn't a good idea.

Thanks again, I never know whats going on,
