Introduction |
| This guide will describe the process for replacing the heat sink assembly on a Lenovo Yoga 730-13IKB laptop (''model number starting with “81CT”)''. | | | The heat sink is designed and outfitted with built-in fans to keep your computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the heat sink itself from overheating. | | | A laptop may overheat (and potentially freeze or shutdown) and make extremely loud or abnormal noises due to a broken heat sink assembly. Cooling fans that are broken or have debris in them can cause strange noises. Debris in the heat sink and/or nonfunctioning cooling fans usually result in overheating. Unplugged connectors, debris, or broken electronics can prevent cooling fans from functioning. | | Make sure to clean the heat sink assembly thoroughly before installation. Using compressed air is a great, ESD-safe, way to dislodge debris. You will need a Phillips #00 screwdriver, a T5 screwdriver, plastic opening tools, and a spudger to complete this guide. No special skills are required, but be careful when operating the ZIF fan connectors. |
