How to quickly fix laptop cooling fan and resume normal operation of the computer MAH02617
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Almost all computers have fans in them. These fans use lubricant that often turns hard. That prevents fan from rotating and cooling the system. System overheats, hangs up or complains. All these problems can be quickly resolved if you follow this simple video. Good luck.
I had a very loud fan and took it apart and found out it was shaking alot, my laptop would even shake. I was told id have to replace my entire thermal assembly for more than $200 and after looking through some useless videos, this one actually helped and fixed my problem for very cheap. So, great vid and very cheap and easy solution.
Long live RUclips and awesome users like Abraham Levit who post such useful and highly informative videos.. A repair job like that can easily cost someone a minimum $100 or more. That's the power of community sharing and I love it.
i save $25
Pro Tip: "Work your shaft back and forth a few times to lubricate the whole thing." 6:00
That was pretty funny.
Ok
That was great
That's what she said.
that's what she said....
I'm too cheap to buy lubricant just for a fan so I used the oil that came with my electric shaver. It's meant to handle a lot of friction after all. Hopefully it lasts long. This video was so helpful thank you so much.
How long did it work for?
@@shade1747 don't remember honestly but after that when the fan started making noise again I used cooking oil lol (less than a drop!) And it lasted waaaaay longer. I gave away that laptop because I bought a new one but it seems cooking oil works even better than the other one.
@@KabooM1067 cooking oil works? great i’ll give that a try. Thanks!
@@shade1747 yea worked for me, just apply it very scarcely be careful with the amount.
@@KabooM1067dawggg thank you so so much bro this fps frop was annoying the fk out of me and using cooking oil worked so well
This was extremely helpful. I am not a technical person but managed fixing my laptop by watching videos, and this was was the most important. Thanks a lot.
I'm a fan of this video
Just Monika get it lol
0mg- hehe.
Okay buddy

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I just wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU. I actually have a Toshiba laptop and kept getting this ridiculous error about the fan not working and it would shut down instantly. It was the most annoying thing in the world. So I followed your directions and it worked perfectly even with the Toshiba. Computer is like new again! Thank you!
My Laptop's cooling fan didn't have screws it was sealed with some sort of plastic. I scraped it off. Thanks to you dude. Fixed my laptop.
Use 'Tri-Flow'. I, use it all the time and lasts a long time. Thank you for warning everyone NOT to use WD40 which actual is a water displacement lubricant and gums up after a while. When I had a boat in Florida, we used SRC spray to prevent corrosion from the salt water.
i reckoned i couldn't make my noisy fan any worse, so i opened it up. thank you for the vid!
This is the first time a youtube fixing tutorial has actually worked for something. Thank you man, my fan was producing weird sounds, like it was scratching to something. The ironic thing about that, is that it started to be louder when I cleaned the dust on it. Now it works perfectly. Legend!

You just saved me heartache and pain of buying another new fan. This fan I have is new, and the lubricrant I used was NOT from the manufacturer. Thanks so much!
Thanks for this video, I'm a HUGE FAN!!

Just want to express my gratitude as this your video saved of money and stress .
I had resorted to ordering my fan on aliexpress and it would have taken two months with a free shipping or a shipping cost of over 6 times the cost of the fan. This just saved my life to say the least. So Thank you very much
this video saved me from buying a new fan thank you so much!
So helpful! My 14 year old son helped me do this after watching a video on how to get our hp envy laptop open. We could not believe how quiet it ran after cleaning and lubricating! It may only be temporary, but I don't care! I'll replace the fan later if I need to, but in the meantime, I'm no longer stressed out by that obnoxious noise! Thank you so much!
Literally saved my laptop. He can was making loud noises and it made the performance bad. Did everything you said and it worked!! Fan runs silent now. Glad I found the vid before I bought a new fan, no other website told me to do these steps. Thanks!
This work after i clean the fan like you do, and give it some oil. It work smooth now! Thank you so much!
8 years later you sir have saved my life ....
thanks for taking time to make this video, my laptop was unusable for weeks due to fan issue and no one offer a fix for it.
watched this video did as described and laptop works again .. BIG THANKS!!!

Especially in this trying time. LOL
Very useful video!
I used Lithum based lubricant, and so far the Fan is running great! (it's been about a year)
Thanks. Yes was thinking of using white lithium grease.
The tip about how the fans should spin helped me a lot when I noticed the fan would rotate a couple times but stop quickly. There was a small crumb stuck inside the fan causing it to not spin properly and my laptop to overheat. Thanks for the video!
For those people looking for an oil they can use but don't have any then you can use, wd40 (obviously) if not then do you have an electronic shaver? They always come with a small tube for lubricating the blades. That is top quality too use, baby oil also does the trick. Last resort option is Vaseline, just a small bit and spread it as thin as possible all over leaving no clumps or thick bits. It works but that's only if you can't find anything else. Whatever you do please don't use cooking oil, I see someone in the comments suggesting its usage but that is a 100% nope. Good luck and good day 😇
Just use cooking oil dude 👌
Thank you for your time to make this video. I needed my computer and no one had a cooling fan I stock. I found your video and low and behold it is fixed. My daughter is happy to. She needs to play her games.
i just want to say thank you this has solved my fan noise
So i got this laptop in the garbage, (yes...I know. but it was just sitting there.) no HDD and the CPU fan I guess was the issue. I replaced the HDD but I didnt know what to do with the fan. Thanks to you I managed to hear something from this laptop I havent heard yet...A SPINNING FAN! Thank you!
Awesome Man, My Laptop Fan runs like a Jet Engine now. Amazing, solved my fan's problem !
6:00 - "What you wanna do is work your shaft back and forth a few times to lubricate the whole thing" -- great description man haha
this video is really helpful, my pc is silent and cool again! thank you!
This video helped me a lot. İ had a realy annoying fan sound. Cleaned and lubricated the fan shaft with wd40. Now it is working without any problems. Thanks sir!
100% works sir
Thank you so much very helpful!
Love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Not all shafts just pop off! Some stay stuck in the hole and the fan snaps off.... Beware. Now I'm off to get a completely new heat-sink/fan as mine are one piece... wish me luck!
There is the second fan that fails me on my laptop. I'm glad this video exists. I'm tired of buying overpriced fans on the internet nn'
This worked for me. Thank you very much :) I thought that my laptop's fan was damaged.
dude, your english and way to explain and talk is amazing; congrats, great video!
Just followed your steps and the fan is working as good as new. My replacement fan is currently unavailable for order, so your tip should keep my laptop up and running until I can order and install the replacement fans. Thanks again!
Thank you, my fan started working fine after following your steps
Appreciate man...u saved my 500 ..lot of love bro
worked like a champ on my Lenovo X61! followed your instructions, used 3 in 1 oil on a tissue on the shaft. reassembled, and powered on, fan error gone
This is the video I been looking for hours, great explanation, the fan you use as example is the same as a1181 please update the video tags! Great work
Work your shaft...lol You could have pried off the sticker on the opposite side of the stator to be sure there are no accumulating old lubricant in there and that slot on the spindle (aka the impeller shaft) is intended for a locking clip that will prevent the impeller from getting too misaligned to make the stator interact with the magnet ring on the impeller itself, and could have caused the wobble that made those marks!
I had some good luck with using SKF LGWA2 as lubricant (since it was the lubricant available around that was also used on machinery), though other high quality lubricants can be used, carbon-infused lubricant is not recommended because of electrical conductivity, oils can be good as well (though can just dry up) but just make sure it is not the cheap stuff
Another thing that I once did to a VAIO that my team had over in Japan was to actually shim the fan. This took out most of the slack that you can feel with pushing and pulling against the impeller, that prolongs your sleeve bearing and makes the motor work better as the magnet and the stator coils are far more accurately centered, and if your sleeve bearing is very worn (like my newly acquired VGN-SZ18GP-C) that you can see the fan wobble as it runs, this can help you to squeeze a bit more life into it (because instead of wobbling so much, you took out most of the slack so it will wobble far less), using grease would also help with it
Thanks man. I had the problem of fan making grrr noise very loud. I though it was because of the fan walls and the fan blade hitting or some unbalance nd all...but then I saw him putting lube. Then I tried oild and it works well now silently. I thought that bldc fan doesn't need any lube. Thanks. Helped a lot. Means a lot
Man you're a life saver! I did the same way you said with my Acer Nitro 5, and now it works like charm. Thank you for making this video which literally saved me a fortune of money, cuz I'm jobless right now😅
P.s. I used coconut oil as lubricant LOL
Thanks Sir, Its Really Work :) Thank You So Much :)
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
You save my life bro, and now all noises disappear, it's just like I have bought new laptop, feels goodman :)
what
good tip! i usually take thigs apart when they're broken, but haven't tried taking my laptop's fan apart to inspect and try fixing it. will definitely inspect mine and see if this is the problem while i put the new one in.
thanks for sharing!
Computer fans use sleeve bearings, which is bare-metal contact between an extremely strong metal with one that wears very evenly and precisely, like bronze. The best lubricant for this type of application is one that contains a soft, powdery metal that works itself into the pores of the bronze, continually replenishing itself as the shaft rotates.
Overhead bathroom fans have a similar type of bearing; these have an oiling port in each of the two bearing cases, and the bearings are held in place by pressure (from the clips) and a fiberglass wick of sorts is used to contain and distribute the oil into the central bronze piece.
I couldn't easily tell what was on the paper towel, but it looked dark and brownish-gray in color, and it's definitely grease. Oil won't last because that small a bearing has no wick to contain it. To hazard a guess, I'd say it's a grease with graphite or molybdenum.
You sir are amazing, it worked perfectly! I used some 3-in-1 sewing machine oil, let's see how long it lasts!
perfect ! thank you, you saved me from buying a new fan
The proper lubricant your looking for is a grease compatible with your needs. For the quantity needed look into Krytox grease and oil.
work the shaft back and forth and get it lubricated. heh
Thank you for putting this up. it helped me out. Too bad there are many people out there that are so negative they will do anything to put people down, They probably never did anything good for anyone in their lives. So thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort to make the vid in the first place. The world needs more people to share their knowledge. - Forget about people that say you're crazy to try, find those that say your crazy not to!!
no prob
Thanks a lot man.
My fan actually is working again under 50 degrees, before it was around 100!
"work your shaft back and forth with lubricant" LMFAO.
1:30 what if the fan wont come off the motor?
you can try taking the sticker off and seeing if you can unscrew it from the top
same problem with my right fan cpu ,thanks for the video
Very helpful video, thank you. I now know why my fans only remain quiet for about one month after I clean and lubricate them. I'll see if I can find a couple of fans for my 2007 Macbook Pro. If I can't it's easy enough to clean the fans every month, just kind of a hassle.
So satisfying when you laptop is on for 6 hours and still warm
I got an idea. how about using a full ceramic bearing within the rotor?
It should work like "forever" and provide loads more rotation for same electricity input
thanks for the tip, now You now have a fan
+Abraham Levit I used car engine oil in all kind of computer coolers with very good effects, last years of daily use. Have a try.
For long-lasting lubrification, use lithium grease (good for bronze bushing. Use light synthetic oil for ball bearing) you can also use light oil for bushing. 5/W30 synthetic motor oil work well. Be careful, if you use compressed air for cleaning. High-speed rotation of the fan will generate voltage that can be harmful to the electronic circuitry of your fan and computer. Disconnect the fan from the motherboard or lock the rotor (fan blade part) with a toothpick before blowing compressed air to be absolutely sure that you don't break anything.
"Alcohol is our number one friend" i like this guy already
"its Russian"
your isopropyl alcohol idea really helped me in my ps4 fan issue. .thnks a ton
I clean my shaft and relubricate it every day.
That sounds erotic. LOL
You know nothing, Chris Snow
I work my shaft back and forth every night.
King of the Universe to get things lubricated right?
I heard if you lick the balls it makes it work better. The problem is...where are the balls?
Did this exactly on a Macbook Pro 2011 17" dual fans; worked great! I had serious noise and reduced RPMs to less than half max. I used silicone lubricant after cleaning out with alcohol and it was like new. The Sunon stock Apple fans though take quite a bit of force to get off the rotor, best to do it hard and fast to prevent bending chassis or other damage.
Thank you. Today I fixed my laptop fan according this video.
Good job man, one of the better computer videos I've seen
WD-40 is an awesome lubicant and cleaner. We also used it in the army to clean and lubricate our guns ;)
I find wd-40 dries out. I used a spray lube from wurth. We shall see how long it last.
thank you so much m8 for helpin me out, my fan was vibrating and overhaeting the system, i ordered a new one but it is stuck in the states due to covid-19. =)
Same xD
have you tried sewing machine oil? Or heavy precision lubricant with PTFE? I've seen sewing machine oil recommended in a lot of places, but I suspect that the PTFE would be even better. Fluoropolymers are amazing lubricants in all applications.
Thank you so much! My problem was solved with this. I've been through so much trouble and that awful noise because of the fan. I bought an HP Envy outside of my country and I can't find its parts here, so it should take sometime to get my new fan, but it will help me meanwhile :)
np
Thank you very much! This was the solution i needed for an emergency fix for my laptop.
kudos man! you've just saved me 7 usd.
Tried 3 in 1 Multipurpose oil today on a whim and worked great.
0:54 when I manually spin my fan it works like that but when I turn on my laptop it doesn't spin plz help
replace the whole fan, your motor is dead
i use wd40 for lubricating the internals. it lasts for a very long amount of time and is efficient. but you need to be careful when injecting. what i do is put some wd40 in a clean container and take a syringe to drop some drops around the coil and magnet and some in the centre. does the job and i am using the fan for 3 years now and no issues yet.
Truly appreciate this video! Thank you! Definitely subscribing!
How do I take the fan out though? This is a really nice step by step video, but I don't know how to get there. Unscrewing the fan is easy enough, but it's connected to the motherboard with electric wires that I don't know how to disconnect and reconnect.
My fan spins freely but not when powered?
HP laptop started complaining after 2 years. Dell laptop works as good as the day I got it, twelve years later.
Would be interesting seeing if there's data on whether some companies are known for using sub standard parts or not (Like Apple did on faulty batteries years ago, which triggered a recall)
Thank you so much. My HP Pavilion G7's fan kept stopping. This guide+Oil does the job
Thank you again
*****
i used oil and it worked.
***** yea just put some crazy glue on it.. that should work
Yes, that did help me, a lot actually. I just wish this fix ends up lasting me way longer than one month. Anyways, thank you for sharing this :D
Is it possible to buy just the fan blades? What would I even search for? I broke the fan blades because the fan did not easily come off. It was wedged in there good.
It is a very annoying sound. I have an MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro laptop computer. Both the CPU and GPU Fan make a lot of noise. Squeaking. Tring to edit the computer fan settings with Dragon Center. I had no idea the fans on the computer would be that noisy.
i have a surface pro 6 i7 and the fan doesn't work. how do i fix this?
My laptop's been doing this for months now, screeching and heating up..
But today it finally turned off and showed systems failing, but I got it working, although I'll try this out.
Great video. Work like a charm! Though the lubricant I used a all purpose oil from Singer
You really helped me, along with the people that rec'd WD-40 as lubricant for the fan. At first I did not use enough but now it is so quiet I can barely tell it is on, where before it woke up the baby whenever I turned it on. Thank you!!!
For some reason my wireless manually shut itself off during the whole operation and I had to restore that in Safe mode but other than that no problems.
I wrestled with mine (late 2008 MBP with two fans) for a while, trying to find a lube that would return them to quiet operation, I tried a variety of thin oils, which all eventually would start to rattle and whine like the first failure. I was about to give up and get new fans when I found the right stuff: Krytox GPL 205 synthetic grease from Dupont. Expensive, but it will probably pay for itself eventually. There are a few different types, but a small dab of this stuff on the fan axle, after first cleaning the old lube out with Radio Shack electronics cleaner has seemed to do the trick. For now at least! If it lasts several months between lubes, I figure it's worth it until I get a new macbook. I'm hoping I can get 10 years out of this puppy (upgraded to SSD and 8GB ram- still runs pretty damn good)
i used cooking oil as a lubricant, is that as horrible a move as i think it is?
same and it worked perfectly just fine
too heavy oil, baby oil last forever.
Oil like that will cause residue and gum up eventually, that's very bad
The house spectre x360 cn000 fan doesn’t come off it’s bearings and has to be replaced sometimes when clogged
If we eventually came in conclusion to replace the fan and we attempt ordering it online, how to find out if it's original one or it's fake? Any details about that? 'd highly appreciate the answer.
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly for my Samsung Slate 7 tablet fan noise.
I did as you suggested, and it started working again.
I most definitely need to lubricate my fan in my Acer Aspire v5 571 but the problem is my blade doesn't just pop off like yours did. I'm afraid to just pull on it, I don't think that's a good idea. Do you know how I can get to the rotor to lubricate it on this particular model?
I use bearing grease, yeah those thick gooey thing? They work best for me, never dries out or being pulled all over because it's that thick. And my laptop is from 2008 and I opened the fan like in 2015 and blob it in the fan shaft... it vibrates from time to time. But the fan has yet to fail hope this helps :D And I know im 6 years too late.
Thank you for your advice! You save my laptop Lenovo 550! It works now!
I have a question. My notebook is pretty old but until recently it worked decent. It's a dell inspiron 7170 I believe which I purchased back in 2009. It's not my only one and I only use this pc once a week as I have a few others I use for different things. Anyway I keep it clean blowing it out monthly. Anyway lately I haven't gotten any warning messages but it's really slow freezes up for minutes at a time and lags like crazy. I have the best Norton security, and System Mechanics which is supposed to keep it running properly. Anyway I don't hear the fan anymore and not sure how long it hasn't been working however I do intend to replace it before I use it again but I'm concerned what may have caused this issue and what else other then the fan of course might I need to look at or replace if this continues to happen after replacing the fan. This system has Windows 10 home premium, Intel i3, 8gb of ram and a 500gb HD but it's an old disc one which I've been meaning to replace with a ssd like my other ones but I've already replaced it a while ago before ssd's became so popular and I actually have a few disc hds still in the package I'd like to use first seeing how I don't use this pc as often and my others already have ssd which is probably why I use them more but still.
