• Compaq Presario CQ5110Y Desk: Change a computer fan

  Hello. My Compaq Presario desktop computer, product #KY821AA, is 7 years old and not under warranty. I have no technical expertise, but I don't change another fan in the computer, which was easy to access.

  In my view, that the fan in the computer case power supply area must be changed. It is making considerable noise on a regular basis, which it did not before. My questions are the following:

  (1) is there a link to a video or a website that could show me how to open the my computer power supply area (I already know how to open the case on the side of the computer)?

  (2) if I can get into the power supply area, I have to take the power supply on and bring it to a store to get a new or would it be easier to just replace the computer fan in the power supply area, which is the only reason why I want to go to the power supply area.

  Thank you.

  If you notice, the PSU (Power Supply Unit) in the PC is locked up in a case of steel mesh.

  There is a very good reason for it.  Inside of this case are capacitors that store a LOT of current, so that if you accidentally touch one, you could easily be electrocuted!  If not killed, you risk very severe electric burns.

  Leave the only PSU case and replace the power supply with a new - what is much safer.

  Good luck

  It is probably overheating. Make sure that none of the vents are blocked and clean dust from all round the fans with a can of compressed air.

• Is the another great category why my computer is slow?

  I get a lot of beach and the General slow balls spinning this month.

  One thing I checked last week my storage status. 237 free GB to 999 GB and 618 for which is the category "other"!  I hate this wave "other" category. Here is a screenshot.

  

  You can see that I have barely keep anything on my internal drive. I don't have a lot of applications. The ones I use regularly is Mail, Safari, Lightroom and Photoshop.

  A few years ago I learned about a procedure in disk utility to completely erase the disk space, but when I went to do, I couldn't find more, as El Capitan got rid of him. Is there something similar I can do?

  Is this large amount of yellow on the bar as alarming as it looks and probably why my computer is slow?

  Thank you!

  p.s. in another thread, I will post about a glitch that happens with my trash. Maybe it's related.

  The function of Secure Erase of Trash was removed to El Capitan. One of the reasons was that it worked as expected. The other is that it reduces the life expectancy of the SSD.

  I would suggest your download and install OmniDiskSweeper. When you rum ODS, it will tell you the names of the files and folders that use the most space. You can then decide for yourself or ask us what can be detected or moved.

  The first step in the process must be a full backup of everything.
