Sorry about your problem Arian. It like with the red rings of death on the 360. You spend lots to buy the thing, then it breaks down, so now you either send it in for repairs or by a new one. They just don't make tech good anymore. Anyway, I hope it all end well for you mate. Shame it had to happen. 
It's called planned obsolesence my friend, and it is ruining our environment.
Though in this case, it's a fault in the fan, which has ceased to work, since it's still under warranty, it's a genuine mistake.
Luckily my computer works fine... other than the fact that it is right now incapable of regulating it's own heat. Meaning if I start it up and run it for any considerable length of time, it could fry the motherboard. Luckily it means I can still make backups, I only need to get the fan replaced and don't need to have the memory wiped, or anything of that nature.
As much as it chafes me to admit, yes this is not only the best possible time it could have happened, since I wouldn't get much of a chance to make use of it within the next two weeks anyway, it also should be relatively easily fixed. And it's free too.
Really as much as I would love to take TSA's adivce about bypassing warranty seals, in the end, this is cheaper, and I don't have to worry about maybe voiding a warranty willing to still cover me for another year.
