Hi @asif_gaya,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop keyboard is overheating, the most common causes are dust buildup obstructing airflow, a faulty fan, or a problem with the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU
1. Clean the Vents and Fans:
Dust Accumulation:
Dust buildup can block airflow, forcing the fans to work harder and overheat the laptop.
How to Clean:
- Turn off the laptop and disconnect the power cord.
- Locate the vents (usually on the sides, bottom, or back).
- Use compressed air to blow out dust from the vents and fans.
- Wait 5-10 minutes for the laptop to cool down, then reconnect the power cord and turn it on.
2. Check for Fan Issues:
Faulty Fan:
An old or malfunctioning fan might not be able to effectively cool the laptop.
How to Check:
- Listen for unusual fan noises or if the fan isn't running at all.
- If you suspect a fan issue, you may need to take the laptop apart and replace the fan.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
