Introduction

It is important to have a properly functioning fan to ensure your laptop runs efficiently, as it provides cooling to the laptop, especially during periods of high usage. If the fan is blocked or not properly running, you will notice that the fan is not sufficiently cooling the laptop.

A cause of poor fan performance could be due to a blockage caused by dust or other debris. It is possible to try and remove the dust using a dust blower.

Always remember to power down the device before beginning replacement.
