Fan bearing noise

I have a new SER7 (less that 3 weeks old) and the fan bearing is going. I really don't want to send it back Is it possible to replace it?


Thanks

In case it isn't obvious, I don't mean replace the bearing. I mean replace the fan.

The bearing is going; it's making a grinding noise that stop for a short period when I move the computer.

Glad to help, Sorry for the trouble when using.

1.You can also try Software : SpeedFan  to optimize the fan . 

2 .Add a small amount of nonconducting lubricant to the fan shaft : 
Remove the fan and cleaned it 
Apply a very small amount of nonconducting lubricant to the shaft.
and reassembled the unit.

Thanks for the reply but it's the fan on top, not the one that's easy to get to. I'm assuming it's actually the CPU fan. It would require removing the motherboard.

Because it was only 3 weeks old, and I bought it from Amazon, I returned it while it was still in the return window. I really love the computer and I'm assuming this was a 1-off defect since I couldn't find another person that had the problem so I reordered it.
