Einleitung

The heatsink (or heat sink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers heat in a device. The heatsink disperses heat from another component in the device to prevent the device from overheating.

If you find that your laptop easily overheats or is running at higher temperatures than normal, it may be time to replace the heatsink. Follow these simple instructions to remove and replace the heatsink in your Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5-1570 laptop. Make sure to turn off your laptop and let it cool for 20 minutes before proceeding with the guide.

Don’t forget to follow our thermal paste application guide after you have removed your heat sink and are ready to reassemble your device.

    • Once all the clips have been disengaged, lift off the back cover.

    You should probably disconnect the battery immediately after opening the laptop. Don’t want to risk damaging your nice hardware.

    • Using your fingers, grasp the entire bundle of wires to pull the battery cable from its connector. This will cut off power to the motherboard.

    • Be sure to apply even pressure across the wires and connector to not damage the battery cable.

    • Remove the battery from the device.

    My battery completely discharged and even plugging it in won’t power up my computer. I tried removing and replacing the battery, didn’t work, so I completely removed the battery and plugged it in, thinking that would isolate the battery as the issue, but still it will not power up, so I’m thinking it might not be the battery. Shouldn’t it work plugged in without a battery?

    Any advice?
