That's one of the easiest repairs, especially if the board is out of the laptop already.
One or both of the inductors on the bottom has become loose (or has fallen off).
See the 'Sticky' thread at the top of the T23 forum about pulsing fans.
Lovely day for a Guinness! (The Real Black Stuff)
But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!
