In this video we show how to replace the Thermal Fans. Before working inside your system, review all safety guidelines to protect the system and ensure your personal safety. For full safety information, view the Service Manual at: Dell.com/Support.
Before you begin, remove the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. So first we remove the screws securing the right fan. Then we open the latch. And disconnect the cable. Now lift the fan off the system. Follow the same procedure for the left fan as well.
To install the right thermal fan, we align the screw holes on the fan with the ones on the base cover. And we replace the screws to secure it. Then we reconnect the fan cables. And close the latch. Follow the same steps for the left thermal fan. For more information or support visit: Dell.com/Support.
