I’m using HP 14s since the past 4 years. The noise has started to make noise, I opened the laptop and cleaned the dust, wondering if it was causing the noise. But it still makes the noise. Can you help me figure out if everything is okay with my fan (or is it broken/or wore out because it aged)? Should I replace it?

    pull fan out and extract top piece so that it reveals motor bearing

    grease it with mobil grease, very lightly and seriously don’t overdose it or it will get stuck later, and then clean off any excess and run it with canned air just to make sure it’s clear of dust, gunk and excess garbage

    replace fan it it still continues to fail
