Einleitung

The laptop has one main fan. If cleaning is required, it would be determined by visual inspection. The fan should be free of dust, dirt, or any other visible obstructions that could prevent the fan or flow of air from moving freely. If the fan is clean, but is still noisy or is not spinning ...then, replacement is recommended.
