I've noticed that my laptop fan has been incredibly loud for about a week now. I took the time to open it up and clean it out, but the fan is still spinning slowly and randomly stopping, all while making a lot of noise. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this issue?

Have you considered that it might be a power delivery issue? Check if your BIOS or software settings are messing with the fan curves. If it’s making strange noises and coming to a halt, it’s likely a mechanical issue. Replacing it sooner rather than later can prevent overheating of your laptop.
It sounds like you might need a replacement fan. Since you've cleaned it and the noise persists, it could mean the bearings are failing. A new fan shouldn't cost too much. Definitely worth looking into!
