Introduction
If your HP Notebook 15-da0002dx laptop is overheating, the system randomly shuts down, or the fan is making noise, use this guide to replace the fan. The fan’s purpose it to cool the laptop by drawing cooler air from the outside and expelling warm air from the inside.
Make sure your computer is not randomly shutting down because of other issues. If the fan stopped working, usually a “CPU fan failure” or “power supply failure” pop-up message appears on the screen.
Before using this guide, power off the computer and wait for the components to cool. Working over a non-carpeted surface will reduce the risk of ESD damage (electrostatic discharge). A non-carpeted surface should not be able to conduct electricity and is connected to a grounded surface. Another way to reduce the risk of ESD damage is by using a plastic tool when removing the battery as plastic does not conduct electricity.
