Thanks for this!

My Son and I have just successfully removed, cleaned and replaced the fan in his laptop by following the instructions above.

Great work.

I think i did something wrong? I completed all the steps but my fan (which is brand new) keeps making this scary loud wizzy noise instead of a hum and did i not tightem the screws enough or they to tight?? Please help!

Please ensure the fan metal case is not bent and ensure the fan is properly mounted. If this doesn’t solve your problem, your new fan is defective.
