Introduction
Fans are used to keep devices cool. As computer parts are used, they emit heat. Keeping fans clean, unobstructed, and operable are critical to maintaining a device long-term.
Fans may be broken, obstructed, stuck, or unplugged. More often than not, removing the fans, cleaning them, and replacing the fans is sufficient restoration.
