Fan replacement - HP Pavilion g6

Ben D Bus · 2013-12-31 17:00:12

Can anyone recommend a place, preferably in central Dublin, that will replace a fan on a HP laptop? I've watched a couple of how-to videos on Youtube and decided to let someone else do it for me :)

Wouldn't know who to recommend to you. I'll do it for you if you have the replacement fan.

I had a second idea today and rather than take the laptop apart I turned my vacuum cleaner up to full power and hoovered through the vents. It seems to have done the trick! :pac:

Clogged with dust but not broken it would seem!

And NOW I read I should never use a vacuum cleaner to clean a laptop! I'll try a can of compressed air next time (if the laptop survives it's recent vacuuming!)
