Einleitung

If your Lenovo Flex 6-11IGM (model #: 81A70005US) is getting too hot from the bottom, the heat sink may be broken. In that case, use this guide to replace the heat sink.

The heat sink helps to regulate the temperature of the laptop to make sure that it doesn’t overheat or damage any of the other components of the laptop.

Before beginning, make sure you power off the device and make sure the laptop is closed for an easier and safer replacement.
