Hey, that's my old laptop! As loud and as hot as a jet engine.
You say the computer is borked... are you saying that it works but the fan is too loud or the fan is too loud and the computer doesn't work?
Dust builds on the heatsink causing the CPU to get hot causing the thermally controlled fan to spin at rediculously high speeds.
Either way it's fixed for free :). Well..at the expense of not having it for a few days :(
Well, I guess it's possible for some douche at the factory to mix up parts for a jet engine and those for a computer, after all, the former often contains the latter.
you'll come back and it'll have a jet engine attached to one of the vents, with a sticky note that says
just to make sure it won't happen again
