Why do computer fans break?
There are several reasons why computer fans may break over time. One of the most common reasons is due to wear and tear, which occurs as a result of constant use. As the fan spins at high speeds to cool the computer, it may eventually become worn down or damaged, which can cause it to stop working properly. Another reason why computer fans may break is due to the buildup of dust and debris. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the fan blades, which can cause it to become unbalanced or slow down. This can lead to vibrations or an increase in noise, and may even cause the fan to stop working altogether.
Another factor that can contribute to fan failure is power surges or drops. When the power supply to the computer is not stable, it can cause damage to the fan’s circuitry or motor, which can lead to it breaking down. Additionally, a manufacturing defect or poor quality materials can also cause a fan to break prematurely. It is important to keep in mind that regular cleaning and maintenance of the computer can help to prevent issues such as dust buildup, which can extend the lifespan of the fan. If you suspect that your computer fan is broken, it is important to have it checked by a professional to determine the cause and take appropriate action to repair or replace the fan as needed.
What happens when a computer’s fan is broken?
When a computer’s fan is broken, it can cause a variety of issues that can negatively impact the performance and lifespan of the computer. One of the most immediate and noticeable effects of a broken fan is increased heat buildup within the computer’s case. This can lead to the CPU and other internal components overheating, which can cause the computer to shut down or even cause permanent damage to the hardware. Overheating can also cause the computer to become slow and unresponsive, as the CPU is forced to throttle its performance to prevent damage.
Another issue that can arise when a computer’s fan is broken is increased noise levels. As the fan is designed to regulate the temperature within the computer case, a broken fan can cause the remaining fans to work harder and spin faster in an attempt to compensate. This can lead to increased noise levels, which can be particularly disruptive in a quiet environment. In some cases, a broken fan may also cause the accumulation of dust and debris inside the computer case, which can further impede the cooling system and cause additional damage. Therefore, if you suspect that your computer’s fan is broken, it is important to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible to prevent any further issues.
How much does it cost to replace a computer fan, or to fix overheating issues?
Costs for fixing overheating problems on a computer, or replacing its fan start from $100 and vary to $250+. If your computer fan is simply clogged with dust then a simple cleaning will fix it. If the fan makes clunky noise or does not work at all, then the fan will need to be replaced.
Some fans are more expensive than the mentioned price to replace. For example, dual fan units, or if the fan is part of the computer heatsink unit.
How long does it take to fix overheating issues, or replace computer fans?
We complete most of these services on the same day, provided that we have the fan in stock. Laptop fans are not standardised which makes it harder to have all laptop fans in stock, hence there is a chance that we may not have the fan for your laptop in stock.
In this case, we’ll order in the fan from our supplier. Express postage is 1-2 business days for us to receive the part. Installation is done on the same day.
