Introduction

The heat sink keeps your computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU) and other components from overheating.

A laptop may overheat (and potentially freeze or shutdown) and make extremely loud or abnormal noises due to a broken heat sink assembly. Cooling fans that are broken or have debris in them can cause strange noises. Debris in the heat sink and/or nonfunctioning cooling fans usually result in overheating. Unplugged connectors, debris, or broken electronics can prevent cooling fans from functioning.

Make sure to clean the heat sink assembly thoroughly before installation. Using compressed air is a great, ESD-safe, way to dislodge debris. No special skills are required, but be careful when operating the ZIF fan connectors.

What you need

              Back Case               
  • Power off the laptop and place it facedown on a non-scratching surface.
  • Remove the nine T5 screws fastening the back case.

  • Slide the opening tool underneath the back case next to the middle screw hole at either side of the case. Gently pry up.
