    My AA1 is currently in BlkSOD mode, it'll boot and work for ~1 minute before dying. Anyway, hardware...

    The fan isn't spinning. It's making clicking noises. Would it be caused by the BlkSOD, the cause of the BlkSOD, or a bad coincidence? I have a pet cat, if it turns out the fan is clogged with hair, how would I remove the hair without opening the case? If it's not clogged, is there any other way to make the fan work, or should I send it in for repair? (I really don't want to get a refurb or new unit though, I have (luckily backed up) coursework on the SSD...)

    Anyone who's sent the AA1 for repair before, are Acer going to screw around with you if you've even placed the laptop on a bed (and say you've voided warrenty)?

    Sorry for lots of questions and lack of coherence.
