Inspiron 15R 5521 Noisy Fan

Hello Everyone,

I got my Inspiron 15R 5521 in April 2013, it is incredible laptop, but I encountered a problem with the fan noise, it is too noisy, I tried to upgrade the bios to V14, but it did not solve the issue is there any solution for this problem or it is a hardware issue. 

Thank you in advance for your support

It's a possibility that a lot of dust have accumulated around the fan which could be causing the loud noise. You have to open the computer and clean fan.

2. Power on computer, quickly tap the F12 key continuously. You should see the Diagnostic screen.

Hi, 

Thanks for writing to us. 

You can try updating the video drivers as well and observe for any changes. If still the same, please run diagnostics from the f12 menu and let us know the test results. 

Is the fan noisy even when the system is idle?? 

Suspecting a hardware issue though.

Thanks dear, I tried to use philips contact cleaner after removing the keyboard, it did not effect immediately, but after almost one hour, the fun noise started to disappear,  then I  tried to run the Diagnostics, it showed me a fine result, it passed all the test.
