How to Properly Clean Your Laptop Fan: Start With the Vents
Key Takeaways
- The source guidance is to begin with the laptop's vents rather than reaching for a screwdriver first.
- Exhaust and intake vents are the most accessible points of dust accumulation and can often be cleared without disassembly.
- Cleaning the exterior first prevents loose debris from being pushed deeper into the chassis.
- Symptoms such as constant fan noise, a hot chassis and performance drops under load can indicate restricted airflow.
