Replacement of a Laptop Fan: When to Contact Service
Laptops generate a lot of heat. Ample heat management is necessary because so many fragile components are crammed into your laptop's compact and slimline shell. The fan on your laptop handles the majority of that work.

Numerous unpleasant things may occur when something goes wrong with your fan. Your laptop may overheat and shut down unexpectedly, or you may see an error message during bootup stating that your fan is not operating properly.

It's critical to address overheating issues quickly to prevent further component damage.

There are a few things you can do if you have an issue with overheating.
Make sure your laptop has enough ventilation by checking.
Laptops require air. Even if your laptop's vent is completely unobstructed by books, blankets, or your beloved cat, heat will still build up even with the best fan in the world.

Make sure your laptop is placed in a well-ventilated area by carefully inspecting it's position.

Examine the system for obstructions or dust accumulation
A blocked vent may be the reason of your fan's malfunction. Examine your laptop's vent and the area around it carefully. If you can see if it's clogged with dust or pet hair, you might want to use a can of compressed air to carefully remove the impurity.

Make sure your laptop is turned off, and if you have any questions, feel free to first ask us for guidance. This is our contact form.
