Einleitung

This guide will help you replace the cooling fan in your HP Pavilion x360 14m-ba114dx laptop. The fan is responsible for keeping the laptop cool and dissipating heat that builds up as a result of the electronic components in the laptop. If your laptop is extraordinarily loud, is making strange noises, or is overheating, there may be a problem with your laptop’s cooling fan. Please visit this troubleshooting page for possible solutions to the problem. If none of these solutions work, use this guide to replace the fan.

A prerequisite to this guide is removal of the battery. If you notice once the laptop is open that the battery is swollen, remove it with caution. If swollen, do not charge the battery, keep the battery at a stable room temperature, and dispose of it properly at a recycling center. This page will help you deal with a swollen battery.

Also, make sure that you unplug your device from any external power sources and completely power it off before beginning this replacement.

    • Open the laptop, with the display fully extended to 360 degrees so that the screen is on the table.

    • In this orientation, sliding the laptop around may scratch the screen. A blanket or a mat placed under the screen will help to prevent scratching.

    • Using the thinner end of an iFixit Plastic Opening Tool, pry open the keyboard panel from the base of the laptop near the screen hinges.

    • Using the iFixit Plastic Opening Tool and the iFixit Opening Picks, work your way around the rest of the keyboard and pry it out of the base.

    • Grasp the keyboard with both hands and gently lift it out of the base.

    • Do not lift the keyboard completely out of the base, as there are ZIF connectors that must be removed first.

    • Using a plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connectors that attach the motherboard to the touchpad and the keyboard. Use the flat end of the Spudger to pop up the cap on top of the connector. The connector will then slide out of place.

    • Repeat this step for all three connectors.

    • Using the flat end of the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector attaching the volume button and headphone jack to the motherboard.

    • This ZIF ribbon is glued to the middle of the battery. You do not need to separate this ribbon from the battery in order to remove the battery from the device. You only need to unclip it at both ends.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the seven 4 mm screws around the battery.

    • Gently move the ZIF connector out of the way to reach the screw marked in orange. Then use the #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew it.

    • Using the thin end of the iFixit Plastic Opening Tool, pry the battery out of its place inside the laptop's base.

    • Next, use your fingers to pull the battery out of its position.

    Perfect, thanks much!

    • Using the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector connecting the power button board to the motherboard. Remove the connector by popping the cap up on top of the connector and sliding it out of its slot.

    • This ZIF ribbon is glued to the middle of the fan and will not come off.

    For all ZIF connectors, be sure to break these down according to my feedback in the screen guide.

    • Using the iFixit Plastic Opening Tool or the plastic Spudger, disconnect the touch screen cable from the motherboard. Flip up the ZIF connector and move the wire away from the connection point.

    • Pull the wire out from its track next to the speaker.

    Note that the its here should be possessive (its) not contraction (it’s). Also, since the component is black and the tool is black, this photo is kind of hard to see what you’re doing. Do you have another angle?

    • Use the Blunt Tweezers to disconnect the Wireless Card Antenna Cables. Start with the cable labeled M2, which is connected to Port #2. To disconnect he cable, grab it on both sides with the tweezers and pull up.

    • Use the Blunt Tweezers to disconnect the Antenna Cable labeled A1, which is connected to Port #1. To disconnect he cable, grab it on both sides with the tweezers and pull up.

    • Using the Blunt Tweezers, unwind the cables from the track to the right of the speaker. The cables are held in place by two black hooks.

    Note that you do not need a comma between labeled and A1 here. Also, you should transfer the red markup to these steps, too, so the user doesn’t have to go back to get that information. Can you be a little clearer about how to pull out the cables?

    • Using the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector that connects the motherboard to the Display Cable. To remove a ZIF connector, use the flat end of the Spudger to flip up the cap on the top. Then the connector should slide out.

    Note capitalization inconsistency on ZIF connector here.

    • Using the curved end of the Halberd Spudger, disconnect the Speaker Cable from the port that connects it to the motherboard by prying it out of the port.

    • Using the same process to disconnect the DC Power Jack Cable from the port that connects it to the motherboard.

    Here, the flipbook seems inconsistent because the tool seems to be connected to the wires, not the white part, in the second part of the shots. Try to combine the two sentences for concision.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head Screwdriver, remove the ten 5 mm screws that secure the motherboard and fan to the base.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head Screwdriver, remove the singular 2 mm screw that connects the motherboard to the wireless card.

    The last two shots are disorientating for me. Are they on different parts of the device? I think you could potentially take these shots further out, to give some orientation with the rest of the device.

    • Using the plastic Spudger, gently lift up on the motherboard from the side that has the fan connected to it and remove the motherboard from the base.

    • Ensure that all connections to the motherboard have been disconnected. If they are not, the motherboard could be damaged upon removal.

    For me, the last shot is a little confusing. Can you show you lifting it out, rather than the kind of ta-da step at the end here?

    • Using the flat end of a plastic Spudger, peel back the tape located on the bottom of the motherboard between the heat sink and the motherboard.

    I don’t know that “pry” is the right word for removing tape. Maybe “peel”? Pry usually requires some force. Can you combine the information in the second sentence into the step?

    • Once the tape has been peeled up, you can grab it with your hand and finish pulling it back.

    • It is not necessary to completely pull the tape off of the fan assembly. Pull it up enough to separate the fan from the motherboard.

    Comma splice in the information bullet here. Be sure to check carefully throughout all guides for this error.

    • Using the Metal Tweezers, disconnect the plug connecting the fan to the motherboard.

    Typically, iFixit prefers you not use metal tools unless they are absolutely necessary. Why are they needed here? Also, the middle shot is in a different orientation, which is a bit confusing for me.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head Screwdriver, unscrew the four 6 mm screws holding the heat sink (the rectangular block on the end of the fan assembly arm) to the motherboard.

    • These four screws are held to the fan assembly using washers. You will be able to unscrew them enough to remove the fan, but you will not be able to pull them all the way out of the fan assembly.

    • Using the flat end of the plastic Spudger, gently separate the fan from the motherboard by prying the fan assembly off the motherboard.

    • There is thermal paste located underneath the heat sink. It is imperative that this thermal paste be replaced in order to maintain good heat transfer after the new fan is installed. Wie trage ich Wärmeleitpaste am besten auf

    How can they do this? How do the two pieces separate?
