Laptop Making rattling/vibrating noise
My laptop is making rattling/vibrating noises intermittently. If I constantly tap/hit a point on my laptop just to the right of my trackpad (that's where the noise seems to be coming from, but it's not too close to my speaker) the noise stops. I think this is the fan, but the fan sounds the same when the laptop is not rattling. What could the problem be, and how do I address it?

Solution 1:
Sounds like a bad bearing in the fan. I looked at a picture of a breakdown of the internals of your laptop, and that’s the only moving part.
Replacing the fan should solve the issue.
