If your HP 15-dy2024nr laptop is consistently overheating, you can hear the fan running loudly, or cannot hear it at all the fan may need to be cleaned or replaced. This guide will help you access the fan allowing you to clean the fan or remove it if it is broken.

If you are planning on cleaning the fan you can use a compressed air can. Before removing any part be sure that the laptop is completely powered off.
