Einleitung

The CPU cooling fan is used to cool down the Dell Latitude E4300's central processing unit. The CPU is an electronic circuitry that carries out the computer's programs. There are some occasions in which the fan can collect dust or break down. When this occurs, the CPU will not receive the cooling it needs and your laptop will begin to overheat. If you are having a constant issue with overheating, try following this guide to replace your cooling fan.
