Compaq Presario CQ58 Cooling / FAN system cleaning

2 hours

Easy

My Problem

I started off with my laptop not turning on at all, so I just disconnected and reconnected the hard drive, RAM and wifi card. I thought I had it fixed, but then the cooling fan stopped working. So I found this manual and was flying.

However after taking it apart and putting it back together a few times, I've finally got it working perfectly, YAY!!!

My Fix

I found the guide really easy to follow, especial for connections and screws. I didn't completely take the fan apart, when I removed it. I just got the dust out with a small tweezers and a brush, and I did blow on it to get some of the dust out too. That worked fine for me.

My Advice

Make sure when you are reconnecting everything, to double or triple check that they are connected properly, or you'll have to take it apart again. Now it has turned on and doesn't have a bother on it.
