For a quick fix. ie. wiggling the blades of the fan....
 
Take out battery as a safety precaution.
 
Prise out the keyboard
- The tabs at the back are tiny while the ones as the front are quite big so start at the back
- The keyboard has wires attaching it to the laptop so don’t pull it too far from the machine
 
The fan can be accessed in one corner so you can turn it with your finger and that should loosen it up
