HP ProBook 455 G7 Fan Replacement

If the cooling fan is dirty or covered by an object, it can't release heat properly. Make sure nothing is covering the area, such as cloth, paper, or other materials. Keep the back and the sides of the device clear to allow airflow. If the fan itself is clogged with dust, open the back cover and clean it with compressed air, or a soft fluffy brush. Check that the fan spins freely when the device is on. If it's noisy, or slow, or not moving at all, it may need to be replaced.
