If he could unclip the front grille in front of the fan I would do that and see if the fan spin freely by hand. Could be the fan bearings are shot.
Sorry I havnt been back to check on the thread in a few days. I have had a bit going on. The first thing I did when I noticed the fan not behaving as it should was pull the cover off and check it spins freely, It does spin freely and there is no play in the bearing.

I have ordered the cable I need to test it though. I guess I just have to wait until that arrives. While I was hoping to not have to buy one, I plan on keeping the X for quite a while, so either way its an investment.
