My laptop fan is making noise, how to fix?
There are a few things you can do to try to fix a noisy laptop fan:
- Clean your laptop. Dust and debris can build up in the vents and fan, which can cause it to make noise and overheat. To clean your laptop, use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust and debris. Be careful not to spray the air directly into the fan, as this could damage it.
- Make sure your laptop is well-ventilated. If you’re using your laptop on a soft surface, such as a bed or pillow, it can block the vents and cause the fan to overheat. Make sure to use your laptop on a hard, flat surface so that the vents can flow freely.
- Close any unnecessary programs. Running too many programs at the same time can put a strain on your laptop’s CPU and cause the fan to work harder. Close any programs that you’re not using to reduce the load on your laptop.
- Update your laptop’s BIOS. The BIOS is a low-level program that controls your laptop’s hardware. Sometimes, outdated BIOS can cause problems with the fan. Check your laptop manufacturer’s website for the latest BIOS update and install it.
- Replace the fan. If you’ve tried all of the above and your laptop fan is still noisy, it may be time to replace the fan. You can purchase a replacement fan online or from a computer store.
