The cooling fan is a key component of a laptop. This component keeps the computer cool while operating. If the fan fails, the computer may overheat and damage components in the computer. This guide will show in-depth steps on how to safely remove a cooling fan from an HP Envy x360.

    • On the back panel of the device, remove the four (4) M2.5xL6 screws at the top of the photo using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Unscrew the three (3) screws at the bottom of the photo using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

    In the second step the photo looks like the laptop is still in the same position as the first step, which means, according to the first image, the second image shows someone removing the four screws at the top of the laptop. To be accurate to the text in Step 2, the barcode would appear at the top of the image.

    Okay, I see the seventh screw is addressed in the next step, #4. Shouldn’t the image in Step 3 show just the six screws the instructions is referring to>

    • Using the Philips #0 screwdriver, remove the final screw from the battery connected to the SSD storage unit.

    Why is this seventh screw separate from the other six in the prior step?

I'm considering attempting this repair. I am curious as to why the instructions direct me to remove the battery before removing the fan. From the pictures shown above, it does not appear that battery is mechanically blocking the removal of the fan. Is the purpose of this step to remove a phisical impedance, or is the reason to remove power from the he device?
