How to clean the fans of my Satellite A100

Hi, I have a problem with my A100.
He is always overheating and heat real. I think there is a lot of dust inside.
Now, I want to know what is the best way to get this dust on my laptop...

Is it possible to open the suitcase, so I could clean it up? A friend of mine had the same problem and opens his book.
After cleaning the laptop ran perfectly again.

Can I do it with my laptop, too?

Greetings,
Ben

Hi Sven

First I want to say that stuck fans could lead to problems of overheating so it s not a bad idea to try to clean the cooling fans.
But the question is how

Well, I wouldn't recommend disassemble the laptop and to remove all the covers of books first, you will lose the warranty and secondly you might damage something during disassembly.

I use the jet of compressed air to clean my laptop s fans. It is a professional tool and you could buy deeper computer stores.
Compressed air should help get rid of the dust and debris.

I read some comments here in the forum and this has helped in many cases

    Hi Jemma,

    The problem is that dust is sucked into the fans and is then trapped in the radiator CPU effectively blocks.

    A good way os compensation this accumulation of dust is to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills so that dust is sucked in. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds and block any gaps around the pipe with a cloth.

    Clean the fan of the laptop and repasting once a year would be nice, or if the computer is heating upward than normal.

    There are a lot of application that monitors CPU and GPU temperature,

    If you want to refresh the thermal paste / rebonding of your laptop, that's what we normally use

    How you actually do it? You actually disassemble the laptop? my computer is less than 3 years guarantee n taking apart = void the warranty. =

    1. Air to compress in the RCA would not damage the fan
    2. I don't think that clean the laptop while it is up and running is a good idea.

  • Pavilion dv6 - how to clean the fan

    HP Pavilion dv6-7029wm

    He did two years since I bought the laptop, and I finally realized that I have to open the computer to clean the fan properly. However, my laptop doesn't have access to the cooling fan Panel - so I tried to take it apart with the help of the manual.

    However, the procedure necessary to reach the fan itself is very long and complicated, as seen here:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03582006.PDF

    Is there another way easier to reach the fan? I have to go through this everytime I want to clean the fan?

    Also, I am stuck at the part where the keyboard should be removed. The keyboard is supposed to be difficult to remove? Because when I try to remove it, it seems as if she can bend and break.

    I wish I could post pictures...

    Hello:

    I never take a laptop apart to clean the fan.

    Here's what I do...

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.

    Find a thin object such as a straight pin in place through the air intake fan and make sure it happens between two of the fan blades to avoid the fan turns.

    Get one of these cans of compressed air to dust and spray it in the fan intake and exhaust fan a few times, I look for dust to move on the vents.

    When I see more dust blowing, I consider the work completed.

    Reconnect the battery and a/c adapter.

  • Pavilion e017dx: how to clean the fan

    Hello, this is my first post here so tell me if I missed any information.

    Anyway, I have a Pavilion e017dx laptop for almost 1 year and its extremely hot performance, (85 degrees Celsius by writing this, according to Speccy) so I suspect the fan is getting plug.

    I looked at a few tutorials on youtube, but they all require completely disassemble the laptop to get to the fan.

    I don't want to take any chances with my laptop, so I was wondering if there is another way to clean the fan?

    Thanks in advance!

    I use canned compressed air for cleaning electronics. You can buy in most stores selling electronics or accessories for electronics. Wal Mart, K-Mart, Best Buy, Staples, etc.

    It comes with a small straw attached to can with masking tape that you can use to insert in the holes of ventilation, ports & other openings in the case to do a deep cleaning. I use this on my two cell phones every few months. Even use it on desktop here.

    Ciao, Salvatore

    Personally, I would not recommend disassemble the laptop to clean the internal cooling fans.
    Such procedure is really complicated and I think that it s too risky for someone without any computer laptop disassembly experience.

    But not don t worry. You can clean the cooling modules without opening Notepad.
    I clean my fans for laptop with a jet of compressed air.

    These dust cleaners are very useful and you can very easily remove dust using these tools.

    Just google for vacuum dust or compressed air and you should find enough examples and offers online.

  • How to clean the fan and vents on a HP dv7?

    How can I go safely on the cleaning of the cover and the fan on my HP dv7?

    Hello:

    What I do is first remove the battery and the power of a/c laptop computer.

    Then I put a toothpick in the air intake fan and place it between the 2 fan blades to prevent the horror when I spray the bomb of compressed air in the ventilation Grill.

    You never want overspin fan as it can ruin the bearings.

    Then I spray the air through the vent system. In other words, I do first the fan, then through the exhaust pipe, then I do it once more each way.

    If you can stand the laptop safely until at its end which would be the best that do not allow liquid to spray out. Waving the can in one position other that simple can cause liquid to come out instead of air.
