| [title] Clean the fan | |
| - | [* black] Take the fan and block one of its wing with its metal body. (I have used a pice of iron wire but a stick or a pen would work too). Now dust it off in every part using an air compressor or a vacuum cleaner. |
| - | [* icon_caution] Do not do the latter operation without blocking the wings otherwise, due to the high airflow generated by an air compressor, the fan could spin at a speed that could damage it. Furthermore do not try to do this operation from outside, when the laptop is not dismounted, because that speed could generate electricity that could damage the motherboard! |
| - | [* black] Once you have dust the fan off, remove the blocking system and clean the fan and each wing using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol 70% in order to remove the residual dust. |
| - | [* black] Block the wings of the fan and dust it off again with an air compressor to remove any left-over of the cotton fibers. |

| + | [* icon_caution] Do not do the latter operation without blocking the wings otherwise the fan could be damaged by the turning speed produced by the high airflow generated by an air compressor. Moreover, never try to clean the fan with an air compressor when the laptop is not dismounted, because that speed could generate electricity that could damage the motherboard! |
| + | [* black] Once you have dust the fan off, unblock it and clean each wing using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol 70% in order to remove the residual dirt. If it is afterwards necessary, block the wings and dust the fan off again using an air compressor to remove eventual cotton-fibers leftovers. |
