My Laptop Fan is too loud!

My Sony vaio PCG GRT 260G Fan is too loud, loud to the extreme that I'm not able to focus while working and its embarrassing to take it with me where people are around! Is there any solution for this?

    I might be able to open up the back cover of the laptop ... but are you sure that clean it up will solve the problem?

    One more thing, i would really appreciate it you can recommend some sites where i can get new fan and if there is any silent fans for this model of laptops?

    Thanks.

If you know how to open up the back cover of the laptop,it is easy to take out the fan unit, have it clean up or replace with a new fan( not very expensive items ).other alternative is to get the service centre to do it,also not very costly.hope it help

HAVE TRIED CHANGE THE CMOS BATTEWHAT CAN I DO NXTRY TO REMOVE BIOS PASSWORD BUT IT COUDNT WORK,?
Sony Vaio PCG and some Vaio VGN Series use the last 7 digits of the laptop serial number to calculate the bios master password. The serial number for a Sony Vaio is often located on the bottom of the laptop on a white sticker. The serial number may also be found by removing the battery and checking in the battery compartment. The link to unlockbiosrecovery.com below works on the following models:
PCG-C, PCG-F, PCG-GR, PCG-GRS, PCG-GRT, PCG-GRV, PCG-GRX, PCG-GRZ, PCG-N, PCG-NV205, PCG-QR, PCG-R, PCG-SR, PCG-SRX, PCG-TR, PCG-V, PCG-VX, PCG-X, PCG-Z, VGN-B, VGN-FS, VGN-S, VGN-T, VGN-TX1, VGN-X
I use http://www.unlockbiosrecovery.com/Unlock_Sony_Bios.php
For $20 they use the last 7 digits of the laptop serial number to calculate the bios master password and then email it to you in an hour. They guarantee it to work and you can call them if you have a question.

Is there a quieter fan for the sony pcg-k45?
If your fan is very loud, and works all the time, then probably you'll need to clean up your laptop from the inside. On average it only takes 3 months for any laptop to gather enough dirt so the CPU heatsing gets totally clogged and this causes the fan to work all the time, and in extreme cases your laptop even turns off so it protects the CPU from the excess heat.
Here's a very good overheating laptop cleanup tutorial with some best practices that any laptop owner should know.

Loud fan belt type noise from laptop
There are no belts in a computer, sounds like something is rubbing in your computer cooling fan blades, get a can of Duster ( to clean dust from things) and spray the compressed air into all the vent holes to clean out any dust and debris.

If this is true than the backlight has probably been damaged. The small flourescent tubes that generate light through the LCD display.

Are all DC motors red wires positive and black wires negative? Is the red wire on the DC motor always positive and go to the M+ connector and black wire always negative and goes to the M- connector? I switched motors and now it keeps tripping the breaker only when I turn on the motor. Just wondering if it's reversed on some motor replacements since I don't have a multimeter tester.
