Overheating of computers is a fairly common cause of their failure. The increase in temperature has a bad effect on almost all components, from the motherboard to the hard drive.

For laptops, this problem is even more important, because the small case and tight placement of the component do not allow placing the entire cooler inside, which worsens their heating during operation.

What is actually happening?

During the operation of the cooling system, outside air is sucked into the case. Along with it, a large amount of dust gets into the laptop. It settles on the fan blades that cover the chip. Over time, the dust layer can reach a thickness of several millimeters. By its properties, it resembles a fur coat that covers the chips and prevents heat generation. As a result, the hardware overheats, which can lead to very serious problems: failure of the motherboard or its individual elements, processor, video card, etc.

The fan often becomes unusable – the reason is dust that accumulates on its blades. The fact is that severe pollution of the impeller significantly reduces the air flow, which significantly reduces the efficiency of the entire cooling system. In addition, it can lead to an imbalance of the fan, as a result of which the fan becomes a source of constant noise. In this case, in addition to prevention, it is necessary to repair the cooling system.

Preventing malfunctions

To prevent this type of malfunction, the dust accumulated during the operation of the laptop must be regularly removed. A full prophylaxis, regularly carried out by a specialist, can guarantee the protection of your laptop.

Another problem is the drying of thermal paste. This is a special paste that is used to improve heat transfer from the most heated elements. Unfortunately, over time, it dries out, which can lead to overheating and failure of the most expensive components of the processor, south and north bridges, graphics card, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to change the thermal paste regularly - this is also part of the prevention of a laptop.

How is laptop prevention and cleaning carried out?

Full prevention of laptops is carried out in several stages:

• The first is preparation. It involves disconnecting the laptop from the power supply, removing the battery, and dismantling the cover.
• The next step is to remove the layer of dust from the surface of all the boards. Brushes are used for this in open areas and compressed air is used in hard-to-reach areas.
• Then, using a special vacuum cleaner, the cooling system is cleaned.
• The next step is to wash the keyboard. It is very important, because dirt accumulated under the keys contributes to its failure. Periodic prevention can extend the life of the keyboard several times.

After cleaning, the laptop is assembled and put into working condition. At the end of the work, testing is carried out, during which the correct connection of components and the general functionality of the computer are checked.

Conclusion

We do not recommend disassembling and cleaning your laptop at home. It is best to leave this job to professionals, as with a lack of experience you can damage something, increasing the cost and time of repair.

We have extensive experience in repairing laptops, we are able to carefully disassemble and repair them.
