My X20s fan makes some noise that sounds a bit like a ticking clock. I
think it is a bit loose and hits it's casing regularly. You coult try
sticking something into the fan to keep it from running while you switch
on the notebook for a short time. It shouldn't do any harm and you could
figure.

Didn't try yet, but am interested in the same question.
