This is a fan replacement guide for the HP Envy x360 m6-w105dx. The fan is an important part in order to regulate the temperatures of components inside the laptop. If you are having problems with your device overheating, excessive noise being produced during intensive computing, or crashing with excessive heat, a fan replacement may help the issue.
In replacing the fan assembly, the heatsink will need to come up from the CPU, and the thermal paste will need to be reapplied. Refer to this thermal paste application guide for best practices on how to get your thermal paste properly installed.
