How to fix your laptop Fan.

CPU cooling is an integral part of your system's health and performance. An overheated CPU can cause damage to itself, the motherboard and other components. Your CPU's fan is the primary cooling system for your processor in your laptop computer and helps regulate its temperature. One of the primary reasons for CPU fans malfunctioning is that they collect dirt and dust particles. Repairing any internal component of a laptop can be difficult, but if you follow specific instructions you will be able to fix your laptop's fan.

1)Remove the faceplate of your laptop by unlatching the plastic hinges; these are usually found on the sides of the base of your laptop. If you are having trouble locating these hinges, consult your laptop's instruction manual.

2)Remove the keyboard from your laptop by removing the four screws located at the corners. Some laptops may have five or more screws, so if you run into resistance, double-check to make sure all of the screws are removed.

3)Remove the screws near the base of your display and gently remove the display from the base of your laptop. Make sure you unplug the video and Wi-Fi cables when removing your display to ensure they are not damaged.

4)Unscrew and remove any fasteners holding the outer shell of your laptop in place. You should now be able to see the internal components of your laptop.

5)Locate your CPU fan; it is the large fan located in the upper left-hand corner of your laptop.

6)Blow compressed air into the CPU fan to expel dust or dirt particles that have collected there. If compressed air does not work, use a cotton swab and gently clean the blades of the fan.

7)Reassemble your laptop.
