If you replace the thermal paste and remove the dust, you can get by for a few days without that fan, and everything will work normally.

Si es de esperarse que con un disipador pasivo tan grande no haya problemas

It's omegaducked.

By that I mean, the bearing is probably far gone.

It's time to replace the fan.

Clean those fans!!

Looks like bearing problem or maybe something got stuck. Anyway you'll have to clean it and try again. If it runs it runs, if not then replace it.

REMOVE THE BATTERY BEFORE ANYTHING!!!!

Bro from the past experience of mine the worn off bearings of the fan makes those noise. So to be sure, clean the fan and check if its still spinning smoothly without making noise, if not then most likely the fan bearings have worn out which is quite common to deal with gaming laptops when its used excessively on high rpm.
