A high-quality cooling system for a mobile computer ensures the stable operation of important elements of the laptop. Timely fan maintenance can help extend the life of these devices.
Necessary
- - Silicone Grease;
- - crosshead screwdriver;
- - cotton pads;
- - metal spatula;
- - tweezers.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out which cooler is not working correctly. To do this, install the Everest program, launch it and open the "Sensor" menu. Find equipment that is hotter than normal.
Step 2
Turn off your mobile computer. Disconnect the device from the AC power. Turn the laptop over and remove the battery. Now remove the required screws from the mobile computer case.
Step 3
Remove some devices that interfere with the normal disassembly of the case. Most often, the hard drive, RAM modules and DVD drive must be removed before opening the case.
Step 4
Carefully separate the body parts from each other. It is better to use a metal spatula for this. If you don't have a tool like this, use a flat head screwdriver.
Step 5
Lift one of the sides of the case and disconnect several cables. This process must be carried out with tweezers or narrow-nose pliers.
Step 6
Remove the bottom of the case and find the correct fan. Disconnect the power cable for this device. Unscrew a few screws and remove the cooler.
Step 7
Peel off the sticker from the fan blades. Remove the plastic plug. Using tweezers or a needle, pull out the retaining pad and rubber ring. Then remove the blades from the axle.
Step 8
Clean the fan axle and blades with a cotton pad. Apply a small amount of grease to the pivot shaft. Install the vanes and rotate them several times to distribute the lubricant evenly.
Step 9
Replace the retaining ring and gasket. Put on the cap and attach the cooler to the heatsink. Assemble the mobile computer in reverse order.
Step 10
Turn on the laptop and after 20-30 minutes run the Everest program. Check the temperature of the required elements.
