What causes the Laptop Broken Fan fault?
The fan can stop functioning or become broken for a couple of reasons. If the Laptop has received a knock or accidental damage, the fan may need to be completely replaced.
Sometimes, faults with the fan can develop due to liquid damage. This can cause the circuitry for the fan to malfunction and, in turn, prevent the fan from functioning correctly.
A large build-up of dust, grit or dirt can cause physical damage to the fan. These materials can build-up in the fan and damage the blades resulting in malfunctioning or broken fans.
Although rare, this can happen due to a mechanical failure. As with all technology with moving parts, the fan in the Laptop may fault seemingly without cause.
Laptop Repair Turnaround Times
Laptop turnaround times can vary widely due to the complexities of the repairs. Unlike consoles or phones where there are a small amount of parts that we can keep on stock and therefore offer quick turnaround times, there are thousands of different models of laptops so it is impossible to keep all parts in stock.
Another issue is part supply. Most manufacturers do not sell parts, so we have to source them through 3rd parties. Unfortunately there isn't a one stop shop for all parts so sometimes we have to spend time sourcing them. There are also times when a part is only available from overseas - China and the US being the main options. Shipping from these countries can take a month, sometimes more so would lead to a long turnaround time.
Please be assured that we will keep you up to date on part orders for your laptop, and will let you know if we have to order from abroad. You will always have the option to decline a repair if the wait time is too long for you.
More straight forward repairs will be completed quickly.
If you have a particular concern about the turnaround time, please reach out to us and we will give you a more accurate ETA before you place an order with us. Please have the make and model number of your laptop to hand.
