    • Loosen the back cover by using a plastic opening tool all the way around the device.

    • There are areas all along the sides of the device that help aid in this.

    • Be careful when prying, and go slow. The silver plastic frame around the dull gray plastic bottom is fragile and easily dented from prying pressure.

    I have the UK model and I found Fascinating Captain’s method for removing the back cover to be simplicity itself:

    • Once lifted, you will notice that there are two wires tucked under plastic tunnels on the right side of the fan. Remove these wires.

    • These wires require you to gently pull them out of there tunnel.

    • Once the wires are removed the fan should be removed entirely.

Where do you purchase a replacement fan?

Taylor Wilson -

Replacement fans are readily available on eBay for $5-15. Just search for: Toshiba CB35 Chromebook Fan

Can anyone explain why the battery needs to be removed? I don’t see how it would interfere with fan removal and replacement.

I was able to replace my fan without removing the battery (skip steps 5-8). Also able to skip steps 12 (Wifi PCB wire) and 13 (headphone jack wire) by carefully moving those wires out of the way while removing the fan. Note that when removing the heat sink, the the old thermal paste should be cleaned off and new paste applied (it may come on the new heat sink). The fan I bought on eBay was a C30 model with different heat sink, but I was able to swap the old heat sink onto the new fan. Final note when reassembling - the rubber footpads are NOT interchangeable. One has a small round hole and the other has a short slot.
