Introduction

The fans inside the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53AG laptop can occasionally get stuck, dusty, or fail completely. Fans are essential to the operation of a graphics card (GPU) or central processor (CPU). They help keep the graphics card operating at a low temperature. The GPU will quickly overheat and shut down if the fans are removed or malfunction. Fixing this is often a matter of some small handiwork to get inside the computer and check the fans for what might be sticking. Use this guide to access the internal GPU/CPU cooling fan. From here, it is possible to unjam, clean, or replace the fan as needed.

    • Remove the laptop's bottom cover using an opening tool or plastic card.

    • Do not use a metal tool during this process. Doing so would risk damaging both the cover and the electrical components.

    • Be gentle during removal. Do not force the cover off, or it may break.
