Removal steps of the thermal fan assembly
When installing:
• Ensure that the connector is attached firmly.
• Do not press the top of the fan cover and the fan hub.
• Before you attach the fan assembly to the computer, clean all thermal grease that has been used and then
apply new thermal grease. Apply new thermal grease at an amount of 0.2 grams, on the parts marked
as shown in the following illustrations. Either too much or too less application of grease can cause a
thermal problem due to imperfect contact with a component.
Note: It's recommended that the thickness of the thermal grease is less than 0.2 mm.
