Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The CPU/processor's internal fan may need to be replaced when the system is experiencing heat related issues. The fan sits atop the heatsink, and is relatively easy to replace, just be sure to gently disconnect the small fan cabling before attempting to remove the fan.
When working with electronic components, we recommend wearing an electrostatic wristband, it is possible for the static electricity present on you to discharge onto one of the components, wearing one of these wristbands and clipping it to a piece of metal will prevent this from happening.
