Hey everyone! I recently took apart my gaming laptop (an Idea Gamingpad 3 AMD) to upgrade the RAM, and I've noticed something odd. Even though I've powered it off and unplugged it, the fans continue to run. They're not super loud, but they're definitely spinning and pushing out a good amount of air. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this situation? They've been running for about 3 hours now. Thanks!

It's pretty common for laptop fans to keep running for a bit after shutdown to help cool the system down. If they’re on for too long or constantly while off, it might either be due to high room temperatures or dust buildup. Just keep an eye on it, especially given the hot weather lately!
Thanks for the insight! It's been really hot lately here, so maybe that's it. The inside isn’t dusty, but should I be concerned about the fans running overnight before I can reassemble it?
