How to clean my notebook fan without disassembling it

[Sogen]

My Notebook has been getting very hot easily where the heat spreads to half the keyboard as well as the fan is extremely loud the moment its turned on so I figured it needed dust cleaning.

So here's the problem, I have no idea how i'm supposed to clean the fan without taking it apart and frankly i really dont want to because im afraid i might break something in the process. So is there a way to clean it without taking it apart?

Pick up a can of compressed air. Use the tiny straw that comes with it and blow out all of the vents,ports and other openings in the case. Usually this helps unless the fan is badly clogged-then it may require disassembly.

I had tried doing that. It was only the side vent that was producing hot air, I had sprayed it with the air can but there was no change.

In the first place there was no visible dust clogging from the side vents so i think it might be deeper inside.

The vent where it is expelling hot air is exhausting outward. You should try blowing air into the intake vents to see if that produces any better results. If not you are probably going to have to disassemble it or take it to a shop to have it cleaned more thoroughly.

okay I will try it out first then get back to you.

Okay it seems there wasnt much change at all, so i guess i have no choice but to take it in to a repair service.

Thanks for the help anyway.
