how can i turn my laptops fan on?

Question

my laptop keeps on overheating because fan is not on how can i turn it on so my laptop does not over heat?

Answer 1

if the air duct is not blocked with dust, and you cannot hear the cooling fan working, then either the power connector (a tiny 2 pole thing) has become disconnected, or else the fan is faulty and needs to be replaced.

either way, somebody who is PC savvy needs to open the laptop casing, first to check that fan power connector, and then if needed, to fit a new fan (usually easy to find on ebay) - I have done this myself, and it is not hard, you just gotta be patient and methodical.

Answer 2

There is no way of turning it on, the fan is situated with the hardrive and will turn on when needed. If you are having over heat problems I would suggest taking it to a computer repair shop.

Answer 3

there may be dust blocking the fan, causing it not to do anything, try blowing in the fan with compressed air

Answer 4

do not ever turn laptop fan off ,will heat up and cause fire...
