Fan problems can lead to bigger problems. One of the fans went on my Dell last year and it meant that the processor started overheating, causing the whole system to randomly shut down because it was too hot. By the time a tech came out (I did buy the 3 year onsite service agreement because it's a work laptop), he basically had to pry the chip off the heat sync. It had fused. It almost destroyed my processor.
How serious is it? It could be really serious. But then, if you don't tax your computer too much, it could be less serious.
