Replacement Instructions

20 min
Medium

Required Tools:

A soft surface
– For example, use a towel

A small container to keep the screws in
– Make sure you don’t lose them

Heatsink
Screwdriver
Spudger (or a similar plastic tool)
Thermal paste with spatula
Metal cleaner
Wet wipes
Microfiber cleaning cloth

Place the laptop upside down on a soft surface.

This prevents scratches on the laptop lid.

Then remove all screws using the screwdriver.

Take the spudger and place it between the bottom cover and the hinge.

Gently press against the hinge. Do this on both sides. You can now carefully remove the entire bottom cover.

Temporarily disconnect the battery.

This is a safety measure to prevent short circuits.

It is highly recommended to perform this step.

Disconnect the cables from the heatsink.

Remove the screws from the heatsink. The screws marked with the numbers 1 and 2 should remain in place, while the other screws should be removed completely.

Carefully lift the heatsink from both sides. This may feel a bit stiff because of the sticky thermal paste.

Remove the old thermal paste from the CPU (and NVIDIA GPU, if present) and from the heatsink.

Use the spatula for this. Then use the wet wipes to remove any remaining paste.

To completely clean the CPU and the heatsink, use the microfiber cloth with metal cleaner.

Apply a small amount of thermal paste onto the spatula.

Spread the thermal paste evenly over the CPU (and NVIDIA GPU, if present).

Make sure that no mirror-like surface is visible anymore on the CPU (and NVIDIA GPU, if present).

Carefully place the new heatsink in position.

Make sure not to move the heatsink once it has been placed.

Tighten the heatsink screws and reconnect the cables.

Install the bottom cover by placing it in the correct position.

Gently press along all edges.

Make sure the bottom cover fits properly everywhere.

Use the screwdriver to reinstall the screws in their original places.

This was the final step. You can now use your laptop again.

Well done!
