So, I have a Lenovo y500 which recently had its first (little) sip of beer. (Meaning my friend spilled beer on the keyboard) I immediately turned it off and started cleaning the in- and outside. After making sure I got all of it I left it to rest and waited until the next day to check if it still worked.
It did, except the fan was making the most painful noise ever. I've tried cleaning the fan and checking the bits around the fan, but it didn't help so I bought a new one. After installing it I still heard a grinding noise but this time thankfully a lot lower in volume. This doesn't mean I'm less worried though.
Does anyone know what it could be?
Did I buy a bad new fan? Is something else broken?
I've made recordings of both fans in case anyone wants to listen to my laptop crying.
Thanks in advance
Update: After removing part of a loose sticker close to the fan (inside the laptop), it did stop making bad noises for a while. Yesterday I played a very heavy game which crashed, and it started grinding again. Today it is silent.
