My laptop is overheating. I have been told that I may need a new fan but I don't want to assume that's the only solution. What is something I can do at home before getting the fan replaced by a specialist?
Is this a good question?

Hi Karen! The first thing you should do is make sure your laptop is not sitting on a bed or similar surface as this can block the airflow of the fan and cause your laptop to overheat. If your laptop still feels hot on a cool, hard surface like a desk or table, the fan might be either dusty or broken. You can try to clean the fan; however, if you are still dealing with issues, you may need a replacement fan.
