Introduction
The fan is a piece of your device that helps with cooling in your computer. A faulty fan can cause your laptop to produce irregular noises and/or overheat because of a lack in airflow.
Before using this guide, make sure to review the troubleshooting page—oftentimes, there is debris affecting the fan that can be blown out without replacing the fan entirely.
Make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect from any external power source before beginning the process.
