If the laptop begins to overheat, check to hear that there is a whirring noise when the laptop is turned on. If there is no noise, the laptop may go into a thermal cool down signifying a faulty cooling fan. This guide will walk you through how to change the cooling fan.

    • Flip the IdeaPad bottom side up.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the two 6.0mm screws on the back panel, that hold the keyboard.

    • Flip the computer back to top facing.

    • Open the lid.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to pry the keyboard up and away from the bottom assembly.

    There’s a screw which is fixed behind the laptop which is fixed to keyboard.

    So first remove all screws on the back panel in step 5.

    There are actually 2 screws on the bottom of the laptop that secure the keyboard. Removing all screws from the bottom of the laptop is still the best thing to do before beginning.

    • Next disconnect the keyboard cable by using the tip of the spudger or your finger to lightly push out the ribbon from the contact port.

    • Completely remove the keyboard from the bottom assembly.

    Die zwei Schrauben auf der Unterseite müssen vorher gelöst werden. Wer dieser Anleitung folgt, bekommt die Tastatur zwar mit Gewalt raus, hat aber dann sie von der verschraubten Halterung abgerissen.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, unscrew the one 5.0mm screw on the back panel.

    This doesn’t disconnect the optical drive, as that’s located on the other side of the laptop. It disconnects the fan assembly.

    yes the correct screw to remove for freeing up the optical drive is on the underside of the laptop, not the one shown which is on the wrong side and is under the keyboard?

    • Flip the laptop to its back and the optical drive is located at the top left corner.

    • Remove the optical CD DVD drive by lightly pulling it out of the assembly.

    When you remove the optical drive, you will find two small screws you need to remove as well, in the lip of the optical drive bay

    Before removing the optical drive you will need to remove one of the screws on the bottom of the laptop. Assuming you’ve gotten this far, you probably already did that in order to remove the keyboard. If not, then you should just remove all screws from the bottom of the laptop.

    The optical drive screw is actually the 1 screw remaining in the center of the back after removing the keyboard.

    • Place the laptop bottom facing up.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the remaining eight 6.0mm screws on the back panel.

    • Flip the computer back to top facing.

    There are actually 11 of these screws (there are 3 on the right side of the picture, not just 2). Also, there are 2 smaller, flatter screws underneath the optical drive on the left that will need to be removed as well.

    • Separate the top case from the bottom using a plastic opening tool.

    • Continue prying the top and bottom case from each other all around the perimeter of the laptop.

    • On the back panel, the cooling fan is located at the top right.

    • Unscrew the 6.0mm screw using the Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Push the plastic piece towards the direction the wires are in with the tweezers to completely disconnect it from the back panel.
