Not certain if this is the right section... but here I become.
I take a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop, and it gets overheated very quickly, so I pulled out my good sometime USB Fan that has been stored away in my closet for a long time.
Information technology's not a fan that relies on batteries or anything like that... but information technology's not working.
I'm supposed to plug in the USB thing to the laptop, and the blue light is supposed to smoothen under the fan wheels and the fans are supposed to spin speedily. However, when I plugged it in, aught happened.
Here's a moving-picture show of the fan:
Likewise, here'south the labeling on one of the wheels... non sure if information technology's necessary info, simply in case it is:

Nosotros don't have any other laptops in the house that's working, so I can't test it.
Even so, I've seen the fan lying around in my dad's room... didn't see it in activeness but it was there. He had to fly over to New Zealand for a concern related thing for a week... and he took his laptop with him ofc. He should be able to become the calls tomorrow, and so I'll inquire him most information technology tomorrow and permit you know.
If he says it works in his laptop, any way I can become information technology to work on mine?

How almost some other form of powered USB port? An iPhone wall charger for example. It should power the fan.
Really the fan being broken is your best outcome. The worst is there's damage to the laptop USB ports.

Doesn't work when I plugged it in the ipod wall charger I have.
My laptop USB ports are definitely not damaged because everything else works (mouse, ipod charger, etc).
So it must be my fan but not working... should've guessed it. Information technology's very old anyways.

5 volts is non much but a smidgin of dirt on the connector would kill it, endeavour repeated insertions to try to make clean upwardly the slot. Like you lot say it has been laying for a long fourth dimension, they are made quite cheaply hundred-to-one of the plugs material they could be corroded.
Truly a shame watching the lefts destruction of our nation!

I would recommend dusting out the laptop with canned air by blowing through the intake and exhaust. I take had mixed luck with usb fans. The reason is: if the heat sync is clogged with dust, no air volition motion through even with a usb fan so the added air does little or nothing. If the dv6 has a fan trouble, I recommend replacing the fan. DV series had problems with heat, I advise dusting it out or reparing (if it has a fan problem) every bit soon as possible. Canned air is inexpensive commonly less than $five.00 I dust out my laptops about every ii months, dusty environments are a computers enemy.

I would recommend dusting out the laptop with canned air past blowing through the intake and exhaust. I take had mixed luck with usb fans. The reason is: if the oestrus sync is clogged with dust, no air volition move through fifty-fifty with a usb fan so the added air does niggling or nothing. If the dv6 has a fan problem, I recommend replacing the fan. DV series had problems with heat, I suggest dusting it out or reparing (if information technology has a fan problem) equally soon as possible. Canned air is cheap usually less than $v.00 I grit out my laptops about every 2 months, dusty environments are a computers enemy.
Truth is, the merely reason I'thou trying to become this usb fan to work is considering my laptop gets overheated very chop-chop, and tends to make a loud fan noise.
Not sure if canned air will fix this, just I could try. Matter is, I don't meet much dust covered in the holes on the sides of my laptop.. mayhap I could go to Best Buy or something to but replace my fan completely?

Best Buy would charge you a lot to replace the fan. If the fan is loud information technology is probable because it is spinning speedily. The grit is likely inside stuck in the heat sync. See this video:
That is where grit and debris gets stuck and what happens is that no air tin go through the estrus sync, the heat sync needs air to move passed it to remove heat from the calculator. The fan is spinning just getting cypher done with dust blocking the way. If you use canned air sometimes it is plenty to blow that out. A USB fan volition do petty or nothing to help this situation. If you have an air compressor with a nozzle, you can apply that to blow the grit out as well. Just use no more than 40psi or yous may overspeed/pause the fan inside. Canned air is the safest bet if you do non take much experience using an air compressor.
If I am helping you with a problem and I have not responded within 48 hours delight ship me a PM.

All-time Purchase would charge you a lot to replace the fan. If the fan is loud it is probable because it is spinning quickly. The grit is likely inside stuck in the heat sync. Come across this video:
That is where dust and debris gets stuck and what happens is that no air tin go through the rut sync, the heat sync needs air to move passed it to remove heat from the estimator. The fan is spinning only getting null done with dust blocking the way. If y'all utilize canned air sometimes information technology is enough to blow that out. A USB fan will do little or nix to help this situation. If you lot have an air compressor with a nozzle, you lot can utilize that to blow the grit out equally well. But utilize no more 40psi or you lot may overspeed/suspension the fan inside. Canned air is the safest bet if yous exercise not accept much experience using an air compressor.
Since I don't have much time to pry open up my laptop during this week, I will try information technology on Sunday since that's the but day I have a lot of time in my easily.
Cheers and then much for the help zingo!
Also, would it be possible for you to provide me another video or written steps on how to get to that fan inside the laptop? I'm not good with computers ha.
Go along this thread open until Sunday... I volition crash-land if i take to.

You don't actually accept to take the computer apart to clean it, this was an instance of where the dust hides. I recommend trying canned air get-go or an air compressor to blow the dust out. Taking apart a reckoner is risky if you do not have experience, in this situation it is not always needed.
If after you lot dust it out the computer is still running hot, the next step would be to have it apart. Again: if you do not have experience taking computers apart, I would recommend y'all bring it in somewhere. Or if you search youtube by the make and model and disassembly, you might observe a walkthrough video for your verbal model calculator. If you chose to take information technology autonomously, go slow, do not pry to difficult if something won't open, double check for screws, TAKE EVERYTHING out of the figurer, dvd bulldoze, difficult drive, etc, sometimes screws are hiding under this hardware.
If I am helping you lot with a problem and I have not responded within 48 hours please send me a PM.

You don't actually have to take the computer apart to make clean it, this was an example of where the dust hides. I recommend trying canned air first or an air compressor to blow the dust out. Taking autonomously a computer is risky if you do non have experience, in this state of affairs information technology is not always needed.
If after you dust it out the calculator is withal running hot, the next footstep would exist to have it apart. Again: if you practise not have feel taking computers apart, I would recommend yous bring it in somewhere. Or if y'all search youtube past the make and model and disassembly, you lot might discover a walkthrough video for your exact model computer. If you lot chose to take it apart, go boring, practice not pry to difficult if something won't open, double bank check for screws, Take EVERYTHING out of the computer, dvd drive, hard drive, etc, sometimes screws are hiding under this hardware.
I will try canned air. If not, I volition need to wait until my dad comes dorsum from his trip and exercise information technology with him for support.

You might too check to see if you lot have the latest BIOS. I don't know how old your car is, just I have a bunch of machines that had possible fan issues that were fixed by a BIOS update.
The blanked on the heat pipe the zingo156 posted is something I've seen a few times and a can of air isn't going to fix it. Depending on the model you may be able to access this surface area by removing the keyboard.
