Found a trick to fix sticky laptop fans without opening the case
Had a Dell Latitude from 2019 that was overheating like crazy, tried compressed air but the fan was still noisy. Used a guitar pick to gently pry the vents and blew canned air at an angle while the laptop was running, cleared out 3 years of dust bunnies in 30 seconds. Has anyone else found weird hacks like this for tricky fan issues?

Damn, I always thought opening it up was the only way but this actually makes sense.

@the_lucas I read someone taped a drinking straw to their compressed air nozzle for better angle control, sounded nuts but probably works similar to your guitar pick trick.
