If your device feels sluggish/lagging performance-wise over time of use, you might need to change the fan. If these symptoms are followed by overheating easily, the fan being very loud or sounds weird (clicking, clunks, rotational friction), you should definitely do so.
For this teardown, you will need a PH1 Phillips screwdriver and Spudger.
Follow the steps listed to access the fan and then follow back in reverse order to reassemble the laptop one you have replaced the fan with a new one.
