Einleitung
The Nvidia Shield controller uses an internal fan to help cool its other internal components. Eventually, the fan could require replacement after normal use. Repairing the fan will help to avoid the controller’s internal components overheating, therefore prolonging the life of the device. This guide will explain how to replace the fan using easily found tools, with no special skills needed.
