Introduction
You might need to replace the fan if your laptop overheats, or you hear loud grinding noises from inside the case. Alternatively, if you hear no noise from inside the case because the fan is broken.
Ce dont vous avez besoin

Remove the single screw holding the accessory plate. This is a PH0 2.0x2.5 screw.

Remove the PM 2.0x2.5 screw with the PH#0 Screwdriver attachment that is shown at the corner of the Solid State Drive.

Use the plastic opening tool to pry the hard drive away from the board. Notice that there is a slit centered at the back of where the hard drive is sitting. This is where you'll insert the plastic opening tool as shown in the photo. Finally, pry with the plastic opening tool to remove the hard drive.

Remove the highlighted rubber stoppers with a metal spudger as pictured. They should expose a screw that you will need to remove in a later step.
-

-
Remove all highlighted screws from the battery access area. These are PM 1.5x2.0 screws
These were very tricky for me, I ended up with one nonfunctional screw, it seemed as if the 00 was a bit too large for the screw.
Use the PH0 bit for this step.

-
Pry open back plate area with plastic opening tool. The back plate should pry open with relative ease. If you feel some resistance at any point please refer to steps 2-5 because a screw has probably been missed.

TY. excellent write up =)
TY good write up I did not have an SSD drive . Some of the screw locations were slightly different [I suppose they very by configuration].
I meticulously followed your instructions. I did have trouble reconnecting the hard drive but it was my lack of experience and a good magnifying glass. Problem fixed. Fan working great.
Really appreciate your photos and explanation
Excellent directions. Great pictures. Everything was as specified in the instructions. Original fan had a piece of broken plastic in it Removed and reassembled, works great. Make sure flat lead for hard drive is correctly installed.
This was seriously better than any YouTube video ever. It worked like a charm period thank you so much.
Excellent walk thru... best I've ever seen!
A great writeup, worked perfectly.
The rubber feet on my laptop had quite a lot of glue on, so taking those off took some doing.
It may be worth mentioning that at step 15 (backplate removal), you need to be careful with the HDD flexible cable, and know how to remove and replace afterwards. Might seem obvious, but this threw me a bit as a newbie, as it is looped around the backplate. :)
