Introduction

If your fans are noisy or create a high-pitched whining noise, they may need to be replaced. You can also try blowing compressed air into the fan to remove any built-up dust that may be slowing it down.

              Bottom Cover               
  • Turn off the computer and unplug the charger before going any further.
  • Flip the laptop over so you can see the underside.
  • Remove the ten 7mm T5 Torx screws.
