Einleitung

This replacement guide will inform users about how to remove the fan assembly on the Lenovo Thinkpad X280.

The fan cools down the computer and prevents it from overheating.

It is important to note that your device may shut down and provide an error message to allow your device to come to an appropriate temperature. In the case that your device’s fan does not cool down to an appropriate temperature, your device will eventually be too hot and potentially spark a fire. A fried or burned area in the surrounding parts of the your device’s fan can also limit the function of the overall computer.

If your devices’s fan has dust in it and get clogged, your fan is making more noise than usual, and/or your device is hot to the touch, it might a result of an insufficient fan and fail to cool your device.
