Dell Latitude E6530 Troubleshooting

While you are using your device it feels way too hot to the touch, it is making loud noises, and/or it, without notification, shuts down.

When excessive dust is in the fan or vents, the computer can overheat due to the lack of an adequate airflow. To fix this, you can take off the bottom back panel. Then using a compressed air duster or can, gently blow away the dust.

If the fan itself is spinning excessively or not at all, the issue could be a damaged fan. A damaged fan involves stiff or missing blades. To fix this, it is recommended to replace the part. Using the User’s Manual, find the specific make of fan needed. Then it is recommended to go to an online retail site to buy the new fan.

Thermal paste fills microscopic gaps between the heat sink and the computer’s CPU. If there is not enough thermal paste, the CPU’s heat is unable to escape. To fix this issue, you must first remove any old thermal paste, then put a new drop of thermal paste onto the CPU, then finally put the heat sink back into place.
