It is a posible hardware issue and needs to be replaced. If it is within warranty you can call philips and they can fix that for free, if not you can still try calling them.

Or if you have local tech, they can help you replace the fan. It needs a computer tech because the fan is connected on the CPU, Mobo and they are the most sensitive part of a computer.

Readthis thread before you attempt anything.
