CPU Cooling Fan Part Number

686901-001 DC28000BFS0

The CPU Cooling Fan allows for continuous cooling of the CPU also known as the brain of a computer inside a laptop to not overheat and burn the user.

This CPU Cooling Fan can be prone to issues of overheating due to clogging or a faulty fan. If you believe the fan is not faulty and only needs cleaning, you can remove the fan and cleanse it with a computer duster.

This guide will go step-by-step on how to remove a clogged or faulty cooling fan.

Check out the Troubleshooting guide for other issues that could be related to the fan.

CAUTION: Placing the computer on a cloth surface such as your lap, a bed, or a couch cushion, can restrict or completely block the airflow. Prolonged air restriction causes overheating and potential damage.

CAUTION: DO NOT continue to use the computer when a fan is not working correctly. Overtime, exposure to consistently high temperatures can damage other important internal components.

    • Use a spudger to apply pressure to the tab, while simultaneously pulling out the optical drive.

    • While the images show the tab being pushed out with a screwdriver, we recommend using an ESD-safe instrument instead!

    Need a second photo to show the tab being lifted up.

    Also, how does the cable disconnect? Either describe it and/or show it in pics.
