does a 15 dw1053 have a fan?

[azhuxel]

My friend has a15 dw1053d that's not booting.

I was inspecting the ram and I noticed that there wasn't a fan.

This doesn't seem right to me.

Will it still boot without a fan or is there built in protection?

Can't even get to the bios.

Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your friend's notebook.

HP Laptop 15-dw1053dx Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

Notebooks with the Intel® Celeron® N4120 processors are engineered to run without a fan.

That is because the processor is a very low wattage processor that generates less heat than an Intel core processor which needs a fan.

If you look at the Intel processor specs, it indicates that the processor uses approximately 4.8W of power.

Compare that processor to the Intel® Core™ i5-10210U that comes in the 15-dw1056cl, and you can see that this processor uses approximately 15W of power and thus requires a cooling fan.

If the notebook is not booting, it is not due to a lack of a fan.
