How To Fix a Noisy
     Laptop
We often get paranoid over
the littlest things. Take, for
instance, a friend of mine
who started hearing weird
noises from her laptop.
These noises grew louder
and louder each day and
she really thought her laptop
was on the fritz.
She then began thinking
about whether she should
buy a new laptop, have her         NEW     REPAIR?
current one professionally       LAPTOP?
repaired, or else let a techie
friend look over it so she
could just worry about
spending money on laptop
spare parts or something.
All of her solutions involved
spending money, and no
doubt she was balancing
out which solution was the
most effective regarding
rate of success vis-à-vis
cost.
I told her, though, that there
was another answer at hand
to her problem, and it didn’t
involve spending a cent;
assuming, that is, that her
aforementioned          techie
friend had a screwdriver and
a can of compressed air
lying around. Lucky for her,
that techie friend (i.e. me)
has just those tools.
In this case, the laptop part
that has been making all that
noise is the cooling fan going
at faster speeds that it had to
before. Because internal
temperature is kept track of
automatically by the laptop,
when the cooling fan gets like
that, it usually means that it’s
getting progressively hotter
inside the computer.
Just like in desktops, dust can
accumulate in laptops over time.
Add to this the fact that laptop
parts are packed so tightly as a
design characteristic, and the
accumulated dust suddenly
becomes a very big threat. Not
only is heat trapped in by the
dust, but the constant running of
the     cooling    fan    further
aggravates the heat in the long
run, leading to the laptop
overheating.
To remedy this, all you need
are a screwdriver and a can
of compressed air (as
previously stated). After
turning off your laptop, what
you do first is you unplug its
ACadapter, turn it around,
and take out its battery.
Then, take a look at the
laptop’s air vent, which is
placed on one of its edges.
Once located, you should
be able to find a removable
panel at the bottom. Take
out the screws that hold the
panel in place and then
remove it. You should now
be able to see the fan.
What comes next should be
fun: With the can of air,
carefully blow out the dust,
in outward motions towards
the direction of the air vent.
Make sure not to get too
trigger-happy; short bursts
here and there, from as
many angles as possible, is
the order of the day.
Also, make sure that
you don’t blow too close
and/or too long near the
laptop parts, or you
could    risk   incurring
actual physical damage
to your gadget.
Once this is done,
replace   the   access
panel, screw it in, put
the battery back in
place,   power     your
laptop on, and you
should be able to hear
the sweet sound of
silence.
THANK YOU
