Dell XPS 15 9500 Fan Replacement

Introduction

Like any laptop, the Dell XPS 15 9500's fans keep crucial components cool and functional. If your laptop's performance has become increasingly sluggish, or you notice that you could probably fry an egg on the heatsink, odds are there's an issue with your fans.

First, check if the fans are spinning while your laptop's powered on. If they're spinning, check the blades for any buildup of dust or debris, and clean them appropriately.

If the fans aren't spinning whatsoever, they've likely reached the end of their lifespan, and it's time to replace them.

Before beginning, power off and unplug your laptop.
