How to Ensure the Right Replacement Fan for Your HP Pavilion 14 Plus

Select Language:

If you’ve been using your HP Pavilion 14 Plus for about a month and notice one of the fans is making a loud whistling noise, don’t worry—you can fix this easily. First, it’s important to identify which fan is causing the issue. Inside your laptop, there are two fans: a smaller one on the right side and a larger one. If the smaller fan is the one making noise, replacing it can solve the problem.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

Turn off your laptop and unplug it. Remove the battery if possible for extra safety.
Open your laptop carefully. Usually, you’ll need to unscrew the bottom panel to access the internal components. Be gentle to avoid damaging any parts.
Locate the fans inside. Identify the smaller fan on the right side—that’s likely the one causing the noise.
Check the part number. The chain of thought is important here. The fan in question has a product number: N10439-001. You’ve seen similar fans listed on eBay, and the product description says it’s compatible with the EH-1175NG model.
Verify compatibility. The key question is whether this fan will also fit your model, which is EW-1175NG. Since these models are quite similar, and the product mentions compatibility with the EH-1175NG, it’s likely the fan will also work with the EW-1175NG, but it’s best to double-check. You can do this by comparing the mounting points, size, and connectors for both models.
Purchase the replacement. Once confirmed, order the fan. When it arrives, uninstall the faulty fan by disconnecting it carefully, then install the new one by reversing the process.
Reassemble your laptop and test it. Power it on and see if the noise is gone. The new fan should run smoothly and quietly.

If you’re unsure about compatibility, it’s always a good idea to reach out to the seller with your laptop’s exact model number or consult a professional technician. Replacing a laptop fan can be straightforward if you follow these steps, and it will bring back the smooth operation of your device without the annoying noise.
