Introduction |
| This guide will describe the process for replacing the heatsink assembly on a Lenovo Yoga 730-13IKB laptop (''model number starting with “81CT”)''. | | Problems with the heatsink assembly can cause the laptop to overheat (and potentially freeze or shutdown) and make extremely loud or abnormal noises. Strange noises can be caused by cooling fans that are broken or have debris in them. Overheating can result from debris in the heatsink and/or nonfunctioning cooling fans. As suchNonfunctional cooling fans can be caused by unplugged connectors, make sure that both fan cables are fully plugged indebris, or broken electronics. | | | Make sure to clean the heatsink assembly throughly before installation. Using compressed air is a great, ESD-safe, way to dislodge debris. You will need a Phillips #00 driver, plastic opening tools, and a spudger to complete this guide. No special skills are required, but be careful when operating the ZIF fan connectors. |
