crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

The Lenovo G50-80 80E5 is a high-performing laptop capable of running multiple applications at the same time. Because of this, a well performing fan is needed to ensure that all the components of the laptop stay cool as the fan keeps air circulating throughout the inside of the laptop. If you feel as if your laptop is getting hotter than normal, or you think you can hear bearings in the fan starting to struggle, it may be time to replace the fan. If you identify with either of these issues, refer to this guide to remove and replace the fan in your Lenovo G50-80 80E5.

The laptop will need to be disassembled to reach the fan. Make sure the laptop is powered off and disconnected from any external power sources such as the laptop's charger.
