Thanks to you my laptop fan has finally stopped grinding. I can't order it locally because the sellers charged way too much and aliexpress is banned in my country. Thankfully your method works (although shaving the plastic is a bit scary) and I used sewing machine oil instead of motor oil.
Awesome, glad it worked! If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others and commenting to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Bro. Finally, I found someone to explain how to remove and clean this kind of laptop fans
No problem. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
I tried this on my HP laptop in the beginning of 2019 using 20W-50 synthetic motor oil. The laptop fan has been working fine for the last 4 years with nearly daily use. I also added the same oil on a project with a cheap fan that's running 24/7 year round since November 2020, the fan still spins flawlessly. I realized I get good results with heavy full-synthetic engine oils with 20W-50 spec.
Sounds good!
Thanks bro, I didn't even know that you could separate the blade. Saved my laptop, as local shops all said to replace the fan, but all it needed is a good clean

Cleaned my 2010 mini laptop's fan. It's been 14 years. It has tiny screws so I didn't need to cut anything thankfully. Thanks.
Awesome!
thank you so much for this info my guy ❤. My GPU fan always sounds grinding and I'm really stressed out because I think it's broken. After I carefully follow the steps you shown here, it stops the grinding noise!

Would you know by any chance if this process can be done in the fans on a Alienware 17 r4 laptop? I really need to do it but im afraid to brake the blades if they are not designed to be taken off like you do by pressuring in the middle with the fingers. please help!

So I have popped out the backplates of my old fans since they were unfixable and they were barely compatible with my new shipped fans (the parts you cut off with blade does not fully fit) so I just taped the backplates with electrical tape (only taped 2 major pieces unlike your 5-6 way). The backplates were kind of bent as cutting the connecting bits off didn't occur to me, so I have bent them back into their own shape. I have checked them multiple times to see if there were any noticable gaps and put it back together. The fans work fine but I wonder if my method was safe in the long run. What do you think?
As long as the gaps are closed and you don't have loose stuff rolling around inside, it should be ok.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I am not very sure if all the gaps are sealed, would small gaps hurt the airflow?
@@abrokenpal it can, but likely will be ok.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I see, thanks for the quick reply!
@@abrokenpal yup
Many thanks. It worked and saved me 60$ for a new FAN (aliexpress) or 250 from HP. It's shame, that one cannot open/close the FAN without cutting the parts.. It's just all foking HP (and others) strategy to charge one for shitload of money to repair an easy thing...
Yeah, it sucks how they're doing things. Glad it helped. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others and commenting to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
Hello i have a acer aspire 5 laptop and the fan also looks the same as the one in the video will the steps be the same
I don't have your computer in front of me and I'm not a psychic, so I'm not sure, but if it's not similar, you can try one of these videos. Fan Repair: th-cam.com/play/PLSSiYX-ta7aqqxfDWDQh-B6Az4ZgDI459.html
These types of blowers, which can only be opened if you cut the plastic that holds the piece with the blade, are designed so there is no way to maintain them. It's a real pain. My notebook's blower is the same type and to be able to disassemble it whenever I want without using tape to close it, I took 4 microscrews and melted the plastic to create the threads for the screws. It's like something from the factory now. I just use white glue between the parts to prevent air leakage.
Nice
Just saw this video thank you im about to save my laptop
Awesome, hope it goes well!
@@ItsBinhRepaired your video was great, but my fan was different, I have to order a new one it broke the blades and mine didn't pop out but was stuck.
Asus rog zephyrus
@@farmthestars3962 that sucks :(
I feel like once u know the bearing gave in its better to just order a new fan since it wont cost much. fixing and cleaning it will just be a temporary fix for 1-3 weeks
There is no bearing on these
i used wheel bearing grease and fan is running great
Awesome!
can you do a video for Lenovo ThinkPad yoga 370 fan fix
No. These are customer computers. I don't have computers laying around that I can experiment and make videos with, but this might help. Fan Repair: th-cam.com/play/PLSSiYX-ta7aqqxfDWDQh-B6Az4ZgDI459.html
Which lubricant oil did u use??
Just motor oil. Any oil for moving parts will work.
I don't have access to any lubricant atm other than WD-40, will it damage the fan or will it be good enough?
WD-40 is not a lubricant. It removes lubricants.
2:40 on my Lenovo Legion 5 model the ring area is very small and there is no way to press on it. Can I gently press the blades from the back side? will it be safe?
You'll want to attempt something like this th-cam.com/video/l4o_-E6-z3o/w-d-xo.html
@@ItsBinhRepairedthanks, I'll try this. but, in your experience, did you have to press on the fan blades with your hands to remove it?
You have to be careful with the blades. They're fragile.
I once asked on the forum about removing the fan, but they told me that it cannot be removed, because it is secured on the back side with a retaining ring, and removing the impeller can shift the balancing, but in fact, after watching your video instructions, I doubt their words. In your experience, have there been fans that cannot be disassembled or are they all subject to disassembly?
Sometimes the mechanism that holds it in place is so strong three shaft breaks from the propellers, but it's pretty rare.
If the motor is burn. Can it be fix ? I saw smoke coming from my fan before i smell something burn
You're sure it's from the fan? If it's from the fan it's not repairable
Put engine oil and what model is that fan laptop?
Any model. Here's a whole playlist. Fan Repair: th-cam.com/play/PLSSiYX-ta7aqqxfDWDQh-B6Az4ZgDI459.html
Use an electronic contact cleaner to remove grease, oil, and dirt. Choose the one that is easy to dry.
@@dy.experiments2826 you can, but it's not necessary.
@@ItsBinhRepaired it is necessary if the board is really dirty and too much oil. But depends per individual if they want to. But its a good choice.
@dy.experiments2826 yeah, but most people won't buy contact cleaner to fix a $5 fan. They'll just buy a new fan at that point I think.
You should have done it with asmr
Lol
@@ItsBinhRepairedfr i almost slept
XD
Can i use engine grease instead of oil?
Sure
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks! It worked :))
@@Randomsusguy awesome
why don't You use isopropyl alcohol to clean it? regards, and thank You ever so much.
Don't want to introduce water to it.
its overkill, if you wanna do flush bearings with alcohol and lubricate
@@kurt_cocain lol
I used WD 40 and its much smoother already. But I accidentally used too much and it went on the copper and on the electrical part. Do you think its still safe to install it back? Is it going to explode if the oil contact with heated electrical component?
WD40 is not a lubricant and will just go bad again in a few days. Use a grease. I don't know what will happen if it's flooded.
@@ItsBinhRepaired are there specific grease that we can and cant use?
@richardmamaril4143 anything designed for small fast moving parts will work. Motor oil works as well.
@@richardmamaril4143 di-electric grease that is not conductive is a decent grease to use, but maybe the BEST would be some kind of silicone grease because it will never dry out and it won't collect dust.
Normal greases and oils collect dirt and get gunky, but not silicone lubes. Just use it very sparingly, a drop or two, once you get it on something, it's really hard to clean it up because it really doesn't stick to anything. RC hobby shops have silicon oil/lube for bearings, but you might find something more specific for fans on the net.
Thanks
What do you do with a fan that can't be popped out?
Hopefully one of these will help Fan Repair: th-cam.com/play/PLSSiYX-ta7aqqxfDWDQh-B6Az4ZgDI459.html
@@ItsBinhRepaired thank you but I didn't see the answer earlier so I went to a repair shop and the guy fixed it for relatively cheap
Nice
Do you think if the fan is rattling it's too late?
Try it
try with more density oil
Yup
Do Not Use WD-40, it is not a lubricant, it actually breaks up greases and oils.
One of the BEST lubricants you can get is some kind of silicone grease or silicone oil. It will never dry up, and it doesn't collect dust and dirt like normal oils and greases. But use it sparingly (a drop or two) because it doesn't take much and it's pretty hard to clean up since it doesn't stick to much of anything (just wait till you go to wash your hands and your fingers are still slick after 5 washes).
RC Hobby shops have silicon oil for bearings, but you might be able to find something more specific (slightly thicker) for fan bushings on the internet.
Yup!
Graphite is the best dry lubricant
@@Taylor-ys2vh Try it and let us know.
Is the inside golden part supposed to spin as well
No
Then I guess my fans dead
@@kashifzia1346 yeah :(
Man mine wont detach been trying just too but im scared to break the fan altogether •-•) acer travelmate p214 wondering if the fan can be detached

Use something like this amzn.to/4bVJGbY
Can i use any kind of oil like cooking oil?😅
No
The noise of the fan is electrc signal, opera fixes it.
Hm?
Was easy to clean the hole with something, because you cand do some damage to the fan
