Use this guide to replace a fan on your Dell Inspiron 7370 laptop.
A working fan allows your laptop to work at higher capacity, without having to worry about overheating its components. However, it may be necessary to remove the fan, either due to it not working anymore, or to clean the fan blades and allow air to pass through it again.
For this guide, you will need a Phillips #0 screwdriver. To take the laptop case apart, a plastic pick is recommended, although you can also use you fingers and a bit of elbow grease instead.
