I'd second the warranty call. It isn't fun cleaning/restoring your drive and being without the thing for a week but it's worse missing free warranty service. If you've given it a good shot of air and maybe the fan cooling treatment without improvement then let them fight it.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
