Do you need a laptop fan service? The signs are that your laptop may make an irritating whirring noise or be constantly overheating. We often see customers bringing in laptops with noisy fans that disrupt work and gaming sessions alike. This common issue can indicate deeper problems requiring professional attention.
Why Laptop Fans Become Noisy
A properly functioning laptop fan should operate quietly in the background. When fans become noisy, it’s typically due to:
- Dust and debris accumulation blocking airflow
- Bearing wear from extended use
- Damaged fan blades
- Overheating components forcing fans to work harder
- Outdated fan control software
One recent customer brought in their gaming laptop that sounded “like a washing machine on spin cycle.” Upon inspection, our technicians discovered a dust-clogged cooling system forcing the fan to operate at maximum speed constantly. As you can see from the image, this fan was well and truly blocked with dust, debris and hair/fluff, causing it to operate at a sub-optimal level.
