If your HP Spectre x360 13-ac023dx laptop starts getting hot for long periods of time, abruptly shuts down on its own, and you hear its fan constantly working at full speed, you most likely are experiencing troubles with its cooling fan which requires replacement.

This may cause your laptop to stop working entirely. If you notice your laptop overheating frequently, use this guide to replace its cooling fan.
To avoid injury, make sure your device is turned off and cooled down before you begin.
