Constant, Noisy fan. No signs of overheating.

[Sigler17]

I did get an email from amazon (where I purchased the laptop in 2018) stating that there was a recall with the battery (overheating issues). However, they suggested that I install an app that would tell me if this device was associated with the recalled products. After running the app, it states that this device was not affected.

Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it. With replacing the fan, do you think it will still solve the issue that relates to the fan running constantly?

Hello @Sigler17 

Give it a try. It is the least you can do.

I just wanted to update you on the the fan issue. I bought a used fan on ebay for a very good price ($11.50).  Works just fine now! Thank you so much for all of your help! I'll go ahead and assume that the settings you help apply will help the longevity of the new fan/laptop altogether!
