Five Reasons to Replace Your Laptop Fan and Heatsink
Just like any other moving part, the Dell Inspiron 15 3542 fan can break down over time. After enough use, even the best fans are bound to stop working. If a fan becomes damaged or broken, it must be replaced.
Excessive noise is actually not a problem in and of itself. Rather, it is a symptom of a failing fan. If a user is hearing excessive noise coming from their machine, it is possible that the fan has come loose, which is a problem that can be rectified.
A heatsink can actually melt if it becomes too hot, and if this happens, the heatsink will not work properly. When a heatsink begins to melt, it is time to get a new heatsink.
Direct problems with the fan or heatsink are not the only cases that require a new Dell Inspiron 15 3542 fan and heatsink. Upgrades to the system, such as adding a new graphics card or replacing the processing unit, RAM, and motherboard could all necessitate a new fan and heatsink.
Running powerful software is another indirect issue that may necessitate a new fan and heatsink. User will install a new processor if the current one struggles to run the software, but a new fan and heatsink can provide a temporary fix. It will keep the processor cool, which will prevent the motherboard from being irreparably damaged.
