Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the heat sink in your Galaxy Book Pro 360 15" laptop.

Before you begin, refer to the Samsung PC Repair Guide for safety information.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Note: Some photos in this guide may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.

    • Before you begin, shut down your laptop and unplug it.

    • Close the screen and lay your laptop down with the rear case facing up to access the four rubber feet.

    • Insert an opening pick between the rear case and the rubber foot.

    • Pry up with the pick and dislodge the foot from the rear case.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the rubber foot.

    • Repeat this process on the remaining rubber feet.

    • There are two types of rubber feet for this laptop. During reassembly, make sure the top feet say "M4" and the bottom feet say "M1".

    • To reinstall a rubber foot, align it over the recess and push down until it's secured.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm screws securing the rear case.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • If you're reassembling with the Samsung Self-Repair kit, be sure to replace the screws with new ones labeled #3313.

    • Apply a suction handle to the middle of the rear case's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a small gap between the rear case and the frame.

    • This may take significant force and multiple tries.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you created.

    • Lift the rear case up and away from the laptop and remove it.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to peel up and remove the tape covering the battery connector.

    • Set the tape aside. You'll reuse it during reassembly.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the heat sink:

    • Two 3.5 mm screws

    • Four 3.1 mm screws

    • During reassembly, make sure to tighten the screws in a cross pattern: top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left.

    • Lift the heat sink straight up and remove it.

    • You may feel a bit of resistance. This is normal, since the heat sink is slightly bonded to the motherboard with thermal paste.

    • Scrape off the old thermal paste from the processor and heat sink with a spudger.

    • Remove any remaining thermal paste with isopropyl alcohol and a coffee filter or microfiber cloth.

    • Apply new thermal paste to the processor before reassembly.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse order and perform the opposite actions, e.g., "reattach" instead of "removing." Skip steps that use heating and prying, and pay close attention to the 📌 bullets as you work through the steps.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
