- This is my daughters gaming laptop. This laptop is about 1.5 years old, and due for a good cleaning. This method should work with most laptops, all though the tear down will be different. Plus, this can help with cooling fan replacements if needed.

Same I realized that I did a terrible job at cleaning so here's me now searching for proper way to clean my device
Same lol
Didn’t know how to clean my fans, watched the video and found it easy and really straight forward, Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never done it before so I was worrying about how I'm gonna do it but you really helped me a lot. Thanks for the effort and video :)
No problem, glad I was able to help!

God, not gonna lie, this look scary as hell to do. I going to clean my gaming's laptop soon. I really hope I don't screw up.
Yea, I was scared at first, but after doing it a few times it gets easier.
Update?
@@Jusztiszz he didn't make it! 😂
Its easy as fuck
Did you do it
Awesome😀 I did all this before my parents came home lol! Very straight to the point 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! I wish recording it went as fast. 😂
@@MrDarkcore sir , how's the thermal performance of this hp pavilion ?
Bro that’s what I’m doing it’s 2022 October 14
How long can you wait in between each clean and I have had my laptop for about a year without cleaning will is nerf the performance
I try to do it yearly, but if I look at the fans and they seem dirty from the outside I will clean it. I have pets so dirt builds up quick.
I have this laptop with 16gb of ram lol, good help because I got it used and needed to see how to clean out the fans.
Thanks dude, my fans have been really loud lately. I haven't used my laptop (it's still open on my desk lol) but hopefully this helps
Helped?
Thank you so much this really helped as my laptop was slowing down
Keep up the good work
The smallest screwdriver I have is SLIGHTLY too big for the screws on the back, so I’m gonna go buy a screwdriver and then I will prevail. Thanks for the video!!
I would buy a PC tool kit, then you won’t have this problem. 😂 There are some cheap ones on Amazon.
@@MrDarkcore I went to Home Depot actually and got a set of small tips that you can interchange for $10 and it worked great! Surprisingly after over year, my fans and insides were not that dusty at all! How often do you recommend doing the thermal paste? I haven’t redone the thermal paste ever and I’ve had it for over a year.
@@shaxen274 i do my mine once a year, but that maybe still even to much. 😂
I followed all the steps but when I finished my device did not turn on, I made sure that the battery wires and fan wires were connected.
You may have to hold the power button down for like 20 seconds. If it’s a hp model, some other brands have different steps.

Yes it’s been a month since I last uploaded, and sorry :(

This helped out so much
How do you unplug the fan, I’m trying to unplug it and it won’t budge. In the video you easily pop it off.
Yea mine just unplugged real easy. I would look to see if there are any push pin that have to be pressed and held down while pulling the fan cable out.
I love how I typed "how to clean vents in laptop" because my laptop overheats and I see the same laptop he has AHAHAH
Well, I hope it helps. 😂
i searched for this video and i havent tried it out yet, im scared of doing it because im a literal child. the reason why im doing this is because i dont want to send it to a repair shop since it'll cost money and becaude it'll burden my parents especially when we're tight in money
It’s really not as bad as you think. If you take your time, you should be already.
I'm going to clean my laptop!
It's been running 50c using chrome and 80-93C in games! 2 years soon and no cleanage. I'll update you in a couple hours!
Ohh, That’s a toasty boy! Just take your time and remember to hook everything back up. You’ll do fine :)
How did it go?
@@marinaivcic2499 maybe they didn’t make it… 😂
Running 50c on google chrome sounds normal since browsers can be cpu intensive, but in games if it runs above 90 degrees its concerning but if it a modern gaming laptop, that's now the new standard somehow
Thank you for this great tutorial. I cleaned my 1 year old laptop same unit as yours, it helped a lot and I don't need to go to HP centers.
I am glad I was able to help!
when I completed the whole cleaning process and switched on the laptop, the screen turned on and showed something about my CMOS files and it needing to be rebooted, but after around 5 seconds the pop up went away and my HP turned on. Nothing seems to be broken but should i be concerned?
If you unplugged the battery while cleaning it, you would get this prompt. It’s kinda like a boot cycle.
I think I did something wrong😊 I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it’s not turning on anymore
I would first try holding the power button down for 15 to 30 seconds. Make sure the laptop isn’t plugged into the wall as well. If this doesn’t work let me know.
Hey. I have a asus tuf gaming laptop and it's been very loud. I would like to clean it out. Is there any way this cleaning process could go wrong and damage the laptop? Because it's very expensive and I don't want to damage it 😂
Well, that’s the risk with cleaning them. You could always try canned air/air duster to blow out the dust through the vents in the laptop.
@@MrDarkcore Hey. UPDATE. Im glad I cleaned it. Was filled with dust....
@@Jusztiszz glad you were able to work it out.
couldn't have done it without your easy tutorial. Thanks.@@MrDarkcore
Is it possible to reapply a little bit of oil to the inside center of the fans? It helped with my old laptop tremendously, but I dont know if it is possible to open these fans up
I am not 100% sure, but I will look into this. It could make a good tutorial video.
bro i have the same laptop and one of its fan (the one you already cleaned before starting the video) is actually not working properly where can i get the replacement i need kinda exact fan because of that one screw in the middle i need a fan that also has that part up to actually get fit in their perfectly
There is a link in the description for a replacement fan’s. Pretty sure they would our model.
@@MrDarkcore nvm i found it
Oh ok.
Which screw-driver did you use? Was it PH ones or T ones ? I have PHs but smallest T I have got is T8 and i'm not too sure is it small enough or not.
It was a Phillips head, just a really small one. It just happened to be in the Ifixit kit I have.
More information about Laptop : ruclips.net/video/fPPcBPsLlT0/видео.html
I used a regular sized magnetic Phillips
I ended up stripping the top screw for the first fan and now I can't get it out, but I disconnected everything and took the other screws for the fans out. So now I can't get the fan out.
Maybe try a size up screwdriver size if not, maybe try gripping the screw with with needle nose pliers. That’s all I can think of.
No one talk about bro's wallpaper
Nope, plus that’s my kid’s wallpaper. 😂
but i have a question...will cleaning fans voids warranty
.......ive no physical damage on my laptop
I don’t think so, I didn’t see any void of removed stickers on the in inside.
@@MrDarkcore okay thanks mate

Thanks for the clear instructions!
No problem, hopefully you found it useful.
Ugh I need to clean my hp victus 15. I’ve never worked on PCs before only consoles so feel incredibly worried I’m going to break it but the shops want £60 to clean it each time and with cats it needs to be cleaned frequently
To be honest I was also worried at first, but after just poking around in the laptop a few times. It became pretty easy to do.
@@MrDarkcore Hopefully it goes smoothly! There are limited tutorials on my model specifically but your tutorial has laid everything out in a way that’s easy to understand so I’m sure I’ll be following it when I clean it!
When do you know your fans need to be cleaned? My laptops fans make quite a bit of noise but other than that they seem to work fine and they only ever make noise when I’m playing a game on it.
That’s normal for the fans run like that while gaming since depending on the game it puts a lot of demand on the cpu/gpu so things get hot. I would say the only times you should clean them if you can see that they are dirty or if those fans are being loud when the laptop is running under no demand.
@@MrDarkcore ok, got it. Thanks.
hey i just watched this and follow what u did my pc was making alot noise and over heating but the first fan you show to take out i think my pc that fan not working it dont spin if i try spin it with my finger its stiff do i need to replace it and is thats the cause of the over heating the oher fan spins just fine only the first fan cant spin when i try to spin it
That sounds like the bearing inside that fan dried up. That probably why it won’t spin anymore.
@@MrDarkcore ? So do I just replace it or can I make it spin again
@@ppolo1715 it would probably be easier just to replace it. laptop fans are pretty cheap on amazon, just have to order the right one.
Cleaning look like a pain from why I saw on RUclips, but if want to give it shot I guess it can’t be any worst then it sounds already.

Whenever I turn on my laptop, a message appears stating system fan failed , will the notice disappear when I clean the fans?
I still get that prompt to this day even after cleaning them, maybe I bios update could help.
@@MrDarkcore ya thank you I just cleaned all of it and it works fine now no overheating or flickering thank you so much and yes I did update the bios it helps too
es necesario desconectar la bateria? es la primera vez que limpiare mis ventiladores :(
/ / /
Is it necessary to disconnect the battery? This is the first time I will clean my fans :(
I would say it’s personal preference. I have cleaned my laptop both ways. I just had random internet people tell me I was doing it wrong so I just try to cover the proper way.
@@MrDarkcore Thank you bro, your video helped me a lot :)
Thx will do this tommrow my laptop was roaring cuz its getting choked so bad
Just take your time with it, and you’ll do fine.
@@MrDarkcore just got done. Fan faced its death. It just keeps roaring now. Bought a new one and gonna install it soon
Hey if I just open the back of my laptop and use my compressed air to dust away is that ok?
Yea, that would work fine. If you dust the fans though, I would find something to prevent the fans from spinning while spraying air on it. It could ruin the fan.
Awe first video with the wedding ring 😍
Second one 😂
@@MrDarkcore oh that's right!! Lol
Pay better attention next time! lol

my laptop is also about 1.5 years old and its been getting pretty hot lately, do you reckon I should clean it or not?
I would only clean it if you notice a lot of dirt or debris on the fans or in the exhaust vents. They do sell fans that go under the laptop to keep it cooler if you’re worried about how hot it gets.
@@MrDarkcore yeah I bought one of those
Going to try this tomorrow because I have 80C when I do nothing, 60C when the fan is at full speed and it keeps crashing when I play games because it reaches the 90-100C 💀 today it even crashed on a RUclips video alone
Guess mine REALLY needs to be cleaned up 😅
Let me know how you did
Can I clean the fans without removing the battery and the fans themselves? I don't want to mess with anything too much as I'm not confident in myself.
You can, I would recommend using an air duster or a can of air to clean it.
@@MrDarkcore I see, thanks!
Can you do this without unplugging the battery, I can’t seem to get it unstuck
You can, but could be more prone to problems.
What kind of liquid did you use and is there like a toolkit set you use for the screw and removing the battery
It just isopropyl alcohol, the one I used it’s 99% medical grade. Anything above 70% should be fine though. I just used a Phillips head screw driver for all the screws, believe it was a size 1 bit. I also linked the tools I used in the description.
@@MrDarkcoreWould 64% work?
@@MrDarkcore Would water work?
@@denis_tart I wouldn’t just because if you get water on any of the electric components it could cause shorts.
I have an almost identical laptop! The hp pavilion 15, with i5, 8gb! 1650
I should of got that one, feel like I need to upgrade it soon.
i assumed the cpu was located under the fan like in desktops. My bad
I thought the same thing as well.
i dont have the opening pick and the back is too tight what should I dooo
What model laptop do you have?
The back of my laptop literally isn’t coming off at all idk why😿 I ruined two of my guitar picks (they’re really thing and flimsy tho, they’re like 0.46mm) and I even used my nails and it’s still not coming off
I used a butter knife the first time by the exhaust vents. I wouldn’t recommend it 😂
Can I clean it with regular alcohol 93° ???
If you mean 93%, that will work fine. Higher the percent of alcohol the better.
I have a question
Does only one fan work while browsing or using the laptop for light work ?
I found that only one fan is spinning while browsing but both of them work while gaming,does your laptop do the same or my fan is malfunctioning?
Also fan speed software lable the nonspining fan as CPU fan, aren't both them for both the CPU and the GPU ?
I believe so, mine did this also. That’s why I cleaned it thinking the fan was clogged. In my laptop the cpu and gpu use the same heat sink, so for light work it’s uses one and gaming it uses both.
@@MrDarkcore
Huge thanks for you sir
I was worried but your reply made me relax
Thanks a lot
No problem, glad to help.
I'm like... 90% sure that's my exact computer too
Just finished watching your video, I used the iFixit tool kit to open up the same laptop as yours, ended up breaking two mini tabs off from the case when I was putting the back panel back in.
Man, it was fragile.
Did you broke yours too?
No, mine are all still there. Maybe you don’t know your own strength. 😂
Rule #1 after lots of “learn as u go”
If a plastic piece needs any force to remove STOP!
you never have to force any panel off’ so stop regroup and look for missed screws
would just using a compressed air container work for this?I have no idea what I’m doing when I take apart my laptops,so if I can it would be amazing
If your laptop is not that dirty compressed air would be fine, but it’s caked in dirt/dust wiping it maybe better.
@@MrDarkcore woah that reply was so fast haha,thanks a lot!It’s not that much but saying that I think wiping it may be the better option.Thanks for the response.
@@sirdan8799 no problem, I try to get to people quick. :)
i have similar question ı want to clean it using compressed air without diassembling and is it okay if fanns turn wrong way im pretty worry about this.
@@muhammetaslsn maybe if you have something small enough to prevent the fans from spinning when hit by the compressed air. Like a needle so something of that sort. The back panel would still have to come off though.
Hi. I changed the fans on mine but the new ones stay on full all the time which the old ones didn't. how could i leave the power on auto like the old fans were?
I would check the Bios and make sure the fan curve settings weren’t change for some reason. You can also download msi afterburner and change it in there. That way maybe easier.
I have the same type of laptop and i am having trouble unpluging the fan cables can someone tell me something that would help me?
I just pulled on them, and they came out.
How often do you clean your fans, I’m thinking of doing it once every two weeks once I get my acer, is once every month fine ?
I can mine like every few months, unless I notice that they are dirty.
i do not feel any hot air flow coming out of the exhaust vents i use to be able to feel it before. but i do hear a fan so maybe my laptop has tow fans and maybe one is broken my laptop is a 2009 or 2010 laptop Satekkite P855-S5200 windows 7 if there no hot air flow from the exhaust does that mean my laptop is broken i also put my vacuum on the exhaust vent i hope that did not brake it before. then to day i put it on the bottom intake vents as another video said. is there away to fix this with out having to open the laptop like using a external cooling fan the kind that attach to the exhaust vents untill i can take the laptop to the place to get it checked out? i need my laptop it very imported it will not brake down my other laptop does not work as it does not connect to the internet for some reason
If it the laptop is over ten yours old it could mean the cooling fans are going bad, but if it powers on and doesn’t crash because of heat I wouldn’t think that’s the issue.
just a question, i paid a place to service my laptop, they said it just needed a cleaning, i expected them to do this what you showed in the video, but all they did was take my money and send me home with the laptop exactly the same as i brought it in, had to just clean it myself, so what does a cleaning entail, they told me they just spray it with a can of air
How much did you pay for that service? To be honest, seems pretty shady to me.
@@MrDarkcore i signed up for their home plus care which is 25 a month, even more expensive than geek squad
Ouch, that’s pricey. Does that plan cover cleaning?
@@MrDarkcore yea they said it was covered but didn't actually clean it then tried to say, just bring it back in, but why would I when they didn't do any work to begin with so they blew it when it comes to customer service
@@MrDarkcore after further investigation it was found that they misrepresented their plan , basically tricking me into buying, thankfully though i was able to file a complaint and get my money back , i did the cleaning myself and the computer is much quieter now
Is this safe to try if I’m the most clumsy person on earth? I’m really scared for my laptop, I work on it and I have no money to buy another one if I screw up.
I would think so, I am pretty clumsy myself. Just take your time and don’t drop anything.
Is it normal for the battery connector to spring back into the socket instead of coming out like in your vid?
Edit: nevermind i got it out thx for the vid its really helpful
Glad you found it useful
Thanks for video, i did this and now my fans only turn for a second after running laptop and then stop, did i break something or just did something wrong?
I would try using a program like msi afterburner to see if you can get the fans to spin that way, if that doesn’t work it maybe time for replacement fans.
@@MrDarkcore ty
My games have been running kinda bad lately but haven't cleaned it in 3 years. Gonna try this...
How'd it go? Did it improve your game play?
hi i like your video so i have a same laptop my laptop is about 2 years old and the battery not charging it saying replace battery if i replace the battery can you tell me how can i maintained the battery for a long time
I am paying someone to check my overheated laptop but may do it myself now
It’s really not to bad, just have trust yourself not to mess it up.
Just cleaned them but my laptop still makes a lot of noise any ideas
Fans could be going bad, that’s what I think without hearing it myself.
What type of alcohol solution is recommended, 70 or 90%? Or does it not matter much?
70% should work fine but 99% is ideal for cleaning.
@@MrDarkcore Thank you so much! The help is very appreciated! I’ve been wanting to clean my fans and wasn’t sure how to do it, so your video is extremely helpful!
@@abelerculano7565 no problem, I am glad to help!
Please help me! Its been a few days since my hp gaming laptop makes this weird throttling sound. I have a similar laptop like yours and it turns out that the left fan did this loud sound. I compared both fan movement and it seems like the left fan have something in it that reduces the speed of the fan while the right fan works normally fine. Tried putting just the tip of my finger to the left fan and suddenly the speed of the left fan went to normal. But when i let go of my finger it makes the stupid loud sound again and it also seems like the fan vibrates way too much when i no longer touching it. I dont know what is going on with this thing but can you please help me? Thank you 😢
Sounds like it’s time to replace that fan, maybe an internal part came loose or broke causing the noise/vibration.
@@MrDarkcore thought i can try hard enough on fixing it 😅 thanks for the advice bro
You're so underrated bro
Well thank you!

Do you have problem with that model? everything is fine until I start a game .... It buzzes so much, it's hot like an oven .... I'll try to clean it and I'll see if it stops
No I don’t have any issues, it loud when playing like Fort or Elden. Also gets somewhat hot.
@@MrDarkcore I will clean fans and change pasta then if still making too much noise I go to service. That laptop is too expensive for that sh*t 🤦♂️
@@screw_yt I would watch what material surface you place it on also. It could reduce air flow and start problems.
Easy, thanks for the tutorial!!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it.
i have a question, i have the same laptop in this video, at 2:23 what is that on the left of the fans with the big white sticker?
in that spot on my laptop, there is just a hollow plastic thing that doesn't seem to have any purpose.
edit- think i figured out it's space for more storage.
but i still would like to ask, is there a way to take apart the entire fan and look in it? mine is loud and vibrates the whole laptop.
Yes, that is the ssd/hdd expansion bay area. For the fans I would say yes, but I haven’t done that kind of repair yet.
@@MrDarkcore so upon further investigation, it appears this fan doesn't start moving until shortly after the working one, and it's not as smooth and stable as the other. I think it's broken :(
Well if you think it’s a bad one, you could order a new on Amazon. It seems they run for around 10-15 usd.
@@MrDarkcore yeah I'm going to need to do that, thanks for help though
I am wondering if for any laptop, are there effective methods in cleaning heatsink pipes? Like taking it off, to be air-can washed.. since water can corrode metal?
Use 90% plus isopropyl alcohol to clean heat sinks pipes. It’s safe to use on copper or aluminum pipes.
More information about Laptop : ruclips.net/video/fPPcBPsLlT0/видео.html
@@MrDarkcorewhat do I do if the heat sink pipes are in the way of unplugging the fans?
i wanted to ask what does it mean when my pc does a weird sound (sounds like its about to explode💀) and if this helps cuz ik the problem is with the fans but idk if only cleaning it helps or i need new ones or sum, so i wanted to ask you if you (or somebody) know
Does it have any other issues like crashes or high temp under load? My first guess would be if it maybe a fan blade broke or something got sucked into the fan if it’s a constant noise.
@@MrDarkcore nope it doesnt and thank you i guess ill have to check on it😆 tysm!
Can we use anything else besides isopropyl alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol can work in a pinch but isopropyl tends to work better.
@@MrDarkcore thanks
The Dust on the fan, its make the fan make noise right? Because i dont open any app and the noise wont gone...
Could be some other type of small debris as well, like paper or hair.

Hey can we use like water insted of the liquid u used to clean the fan or like some other liquid
I wouldn’t use water unless you know it’s definitely not touching any electronic parts. Water will cause corrosion damage to it. I will have to look to see if there are any other types of cleaning solutions, that won’t cause damage.
@@MrDarkcore did u come across some liquid
@@9e24ayaansalam8 not really, most things I could find where mixing other solutions together. IPA is probably the best option to be honest.
@@MrDarkcore Ok thanks for ur work!
cable for fan is quite hard to remove any tips for geting it open?
I just pulled on the top or the wire. I didn’t have any issues with that.
Is it needed to unplug the battery of the insides?
I would to be safe but if you don’t to. That’s a risk you can take.
Im probably gonna sound like a total noob, but it's okay to just unplug the battery and fans like that carefully? It won't cause any issues? Theres a myth to never open a laptop like you would a desktop.
Yea it’s ok, as long as the laptop is powered down and unplugged. I haven’t had any issues when do that.
what is the best alcohol to use ?
Isopropyl with an high alcohol content, I would say 90% and above.
it's my first time cleaning the fans. Is it normal that when I turned my laptop back on again it displayed a bios restart?
It sometimes does that, after the leave the bios it should go back to normal.
@@MrDarkcore okay thank you! my laptop works perfectly fine :)
will my laptop undergo boot if I remove the battery?
Like run a boot cycle?
Hey man my laptop fan started randomly roaring like crazy (It's not normal because I know what the fan sound feels like on 100% cpu usage) I think it's probably dying, is there a way to fix it without actually having to replace it ? Because it's pretty complicated and tedious to get anything from Amazon or Ebay in my country. My pc model is HP Pavilion 15ec-1012nk
Before you consider replacing parts, have to done updates, disk clean up, bios update, turn off start up apps, etc? Sometimes that can help with the overall performance of the laptop.
@@MrDarkcore Well I am considering cleaning up the laptop but I can't find isopropyl alcohol, or practically any kind of alcohol, is there another substance that's more available I can use to clean the fans ?
I would say canned air, or maybe that slime that people use to clean keyboards.
@@MrDarkcore Can I just blow air from my mouth ?
Well if you use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to loosen the dust, that could work as a temporary fix. I would only do that if it’s really caked full of dust/hair etc.
one of my fans doesnt work anymore😢 what should i do?
I would just replace it, it’s pretty simple if you have the right tools.
if you can see my questions probanly not but why is my laptop hot when i play more an hour
Well normally they get decently hot around 95 degrees (35 C). Also games put a lot of load on the cpu/gpu so it will get hot, I would only be concerned if it’s older laptop, and hasn’t be cleaned or thermal paste hasn’t be replace done.
@@MrDarkcore oh thank you soo actually it's old one but i clean screen and keyboard but i didn't look inside of laptop soo i need to check it out and how many pasta needed to put and normally i need clean fans
Bro hp pavillion 15 CS gaming series me konsa fan compataible rhega please tell me 😢😢
Thanks for the video!
My laptop has a DVD tray or whatever it's called lol do you know if I have to like, open the tray to take the back lid open or something? I took off the screws but couldn't figure out how to take the lid off ._.
How old is that laptop?
@@MrDarkcore maybe from 2015? No idea!! Model is hp notebook k8p06la#abm or so it says on the back
No wait that's the product name and model is 15-ac104la. I really don't know anything about computers sorry
@@death__ray is the battery internal or a removable external battery?
@@MrDarkcore it's removable, it's just where the hinges of the screen are
I let the fans spin when cleaning. They're electromagnetic. Everyone says to make sure they don't spin, but I've never had a problem.
Dang bro my battery plug is really stuck i can't unplug it
Was it glued on there? It shouldn’t be that hard to remove.
No. It was the same for the cooler plugs. Idk why. I managed to unplug all of them eventualy tho, thanks for the tutorial anyway! I am looking forward to also replace my thermal paste soon.
is removing battery important
I just unplug it to be safe.
I did exactly what you did in the video and my laptop no longer turns on, power still goes through because my rgb on keyboard and mouse is still on but the laptop just doesnt turn on
Did you hold your power button down for 20 to 30 seconds after plugging everything back in? Plus I think the power cord can’t be plugged in while do this.
@@MrDarkcore Yep did that and no cables were plugged into the computer i have no idea what went wrong
@@firenut4971 I would check to make sure ram is seated correctly and also in the right channel if you not use two sticks. Fans are plugged in, hard drives also. Stuff like that, the try holding power button down again.
@@MrDarkcore ive done all of those ive just accepted it and im saving up for a new one
@@firenut4971 there is one other thing you can try but it’s kinda annoying to do.
Helloo..the fans black sticker are mot sticking anymore...what will i doo next
I would just take a pic of them for reference if needed, then peel them off. I wouldn’t want a sticker to be sucked into the fan. Could cause some damage down the road.
Just checking is this method perfectly safe as I got this exact laptop for Christmas and am really cautious about it. It looks fine but just want to check as I bought it for a lot of money I probably wont get again for a long long time.
This past Christmas? I wouldn't worry about cleaning it just yet. Unless you're having cooling issues. Also sorry, your comment was held for review. idk why lol
i noticed that the replacement fan has only 1 fan when i need 2, what do i do in this case?
Hmm, is one fan of the old fans better then the other?
@@MrDarkcore they both kinda suck but if u know, they areboth different and 2 types so they can fit over eachother
@@zezo7114 ok, I am lost now. 😂 is it connecting the shock mount to the adapter? Or something?
@@MrDarkcore I'm saying, notice how the 2 fans overlap each other, which means they are made together i would presume, one for the right and one for the left. When i buy the single ones, how do i know which side fan i am getting?
@@zezo7114 oh sorry I had a boom arm question in my head 😂 , I will have to watch my video to have a better answer.
can i use water?
You can, but you would have to be really careful to not get any water into any of the electrical parts. It would short the fan and it would be ruined.
When I was taking the battery plug out i scratched the thing behinde it i 4hink its the mother board but my laptop is still working rn
What did you use to remove the plug?
@@MrDarkcore flathead screwdriver and my fingers
From what I found online, scratches are fine unless you digging your flathead into the board. I would think your fine, but next time maybe get a sponger tool so you don’t have to worry about that. 😂
@@MrDarkcore yea hahaha thanks the video is really good tho
@@AzemMC thank you, I am glad you were able to find it helpful.
Are these two fans identical ?
I am pretty sure that they are the same.
@@MrDarkcore So I can switch their two locations ?
Yea you can.
@@MrDarkcore alright, thank you.
Why would we unplug the battery
I thought that same thing, I changed all kind of stuff without unplugging the battery. Apparently it’s the proper thing to do though. 😂
@@MrDarkcore I heard unplugging the other things like the fans has a very very small chance of causing circuit problems throughout the computer if the battery stays plugged in but still very low chance. I will unplug it though when I clean mine, for sure.
My fan is still loud for some reason and just started happening 2 days ago, idk what to do know.
Fan could of went bad. If cleaning it doesn’t help it be time for a replacement.
@@MrDarkcore ive had for a year, do you have a link to the exact fans so i can buy and replace them?
@@bkmaoo link is in the description of the video for a replacement alternative.
@@MrDarkcore oh okay, thanks
No problem
Can we use sanitizer to clean the fans?
If your referring to some like hand sanitizer I would say no. There are a bunch of other chemicals in them and don’t know the effect on electrical components.
Bro my new hp pavilion laptop fan makes noise is that normal....it don't make loud noise but I want to know whether is it normal or not..plzz tell me
Is it under a load? That makes any laptop louder.
@@MrDarkcore no bro it's new laptop....and it makes slight noise
It is hard for me to tell, since I can’t hear your laptop. It’s going to make noise no matter what, but I would really only worry if it’s over heating.
No it's not bro....but it makes noise sometimes that's it
You could take the back cover off and check if everything is secure. Plus make sure no debris in there.
Can i do this with out isopropyl alcohol and just use a vacuum cleaner
You can, I would just use a brush or something to help loosen the dirt before vacuuming.
@@MrDarkcore ok thanks
