Title
Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 Heatsink and Fan Assembly Replacement
Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the heatsink and fan assembly in your Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Gen 7) laptop.
Both the laptop's fans are attached to the heatsink as one assembly. To replace either fan or the heatsink, you must replace the entire assembly.
If your laptop's fans aren't spinning or your laptop is overheating, you may need to replace the heatsink and fan assembly.
''You'll need new thermal paste to complete this repair.''
***For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device.*** This reduces the risk of a dangerous fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
