Just recently, i heard sound coming from the laptop. It sounds like there is a marble in my fan; kind of like the roulette. I suspect is the thermal module that's making that sound. In addition, my laptop gets really hot when i use a lot of CPU. I have consulted with a few friends of mine and they said it might be the ball bearing or something in the fan that came lose. I am not very sure about what the problem is, can anyone give me some advice? If it is the thermal module, is there a DIY guide on how to change it? Thank you.

Check your hard drive carrier for missing screws. This model sometimes
loses them from the carrier and they somehow seem to end up in the the fan.
