I cleaned the inside of my laptop with compressed air because it was too dusty.
Maybe I came too close to the fan. Due to the air flow, he has turned quite strong. I do not know if that's the reason, but the fan is not spinning anymore.
I'm currently running the unit at the lowest power setting as it no longer cools, but I do not know if that will not cause long-term damage.
What can I do to get the fan working again or how can I find the reason why it does not work anymore? Maybe he can still save himself.
Alternative, it will be difficult to find a suitable fan for this model, right? You do not know if it would be compatible then.
With a bit of bad luck, you have not only fried the fan, but more electronics. You have made your fan almost a generator.
With 2 bar it is like hammering with the 500gr hammer, because it turns the axles etc.
I almost thought so, but the owner of the part said I can handle up to 5cm. He always does it that way.
What can I do now?
I have done exactly what the owner of this air pressure section has recommended to me and how he always seems to do it himself.
What am I doing best now? There are a million fans? How do I know that a new one fits and if it is even done with it?
Or if I still get this fan saved?
Currently the laptop is in energy-saving mode and despite the missing fan not even sooo hot. I experienced it with a working fan already hotter.
Always hold or fix the fan before blowing air through it. For example With the straw-like extension, which is usually on compressed air cans, or with a pencil etc.
Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of that. I thought, so that the dust goes out, he has to turn synonymous. Or. I did not even think of something like that.
For such reasons, I find compressed air for PC innards unsuitable. Especially since the dirt is just whirled around, so it is still not out! That's why I rather put on the vacuum cleaner.
Of course you have to be careful not to bend any electrics or turn the fan too high. However, I've never (even if the fan has played the generator) which (if in the PC tower, not in the laptop).
Since PC fans are actually always brushless (smoother and quieter), the speed should actually be half as wild. Whether the one with the "compressed air drive" has turned higher than under full load is questionable, so it does not have to be burnt down immediately.
Could it be trivial that the now clean heat sink dissipates the heat so well that the fan does not even start?
