1402688 2015-06-13 22:15:00 Hey Guys

My fan on my computer is overly loud from the minute i start my computer up it sounds like I am running several resource intensive programs from start up even before i have logged into my account I have cheeked my start up programs and the high resource program that starts up is Skype the rest of programs to help make my computer run. Any suggestion would be great I am on a Sony Vaio E Series laptop

Thanks

1402690 2015-06-14 00:38:00 Is it possible to clean the fan without remove the back Chris Randal (521)

1402692 2015-06-14 01:05:00 Is it possible to clean the fan without remove the back Depends on the Laptop. Some have a cover that when removed exposes the complete fan assembly. Others you have to disassemble.

While holding the fan blades with something like a tooth pick you can blow compressed air into the ducts, removing dust etc, BUT not exactly the best way to do it.

That's good advice... it's too easy to burn out the tiny fan motor or bearing by blowing or sucking air at high speed onto a fan's blades
