Hardware Fan making clicking noises

[Krystal_Lavander]

Hi,

A clicking noise is coming from the fan of my switch, it does it in handled mode and docked. Sometimes it makes a more significant, louder noise and its scares me.

I assume that's from dust that's been in and i've didn't managed to blow it with an compressed air duster (the one i use for cleaning my computer).
Since then heat break my backplate around the power button after many hours of playing.

Does anyone got a solution ?

Is it still under warranty? I would get it returned for a new one.

That's a day one unit. The reseller guaranty has ended, but i'm wondering if the constructor's one is one or two years, since it has to be two years in Europe but it's one year in France.

I don't know who to contact to use my european guaranty.

I read that Nintendo increased the warranty by 12 months, in April this year. So people with a Switch would get a 2 year warranty, though it somewhat alienates the day one owners in the sense that when Nintendo announced the extension, the day one units were already past their 12 months, by one month and a day.
