I had my laptop on my bed for along time and it’s damaged how do I fix it

[Layoreo]

As soon as I get my laptop the only places I used it was on my bed it sometimes overheated so I stopped using it but I stopped using it for awhile and I come back it’s so slow I downloaded anti virus it wasn’t that  I looked at my storage it wasn’t that so I guess it was my bed I don’t know how to fix it

@Layoreo,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Your issue could be caused because your laptop sucked up too much dust and fibers, etc. and needs to be cleaned.

Please follow this easy-to-follow "Clean the Air Vents in HP Notebooks" HP tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlemDe8c20g&ab_channel=HPSupport.  You will need to have compressed ("canned") air.

-If you are up to it and are comfortable opening up your laptop, here is another YouTube tutorial how to clean the air vents and the laptop's cooling fan more thoroughly.  Your model laptop is different than the one shown here, but it is basically the same principle.  You do need at least a tiny (Philips) screwdriver for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f070iYtNqA&ab_channel=ScottiesTech.Info.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
