TopMate C11 Fan Replacement

Introduction

If one of the fans in your TopMate C11 laptop cooling pad stops working, it can impact your laptop's cooling performance, leading to overheating issues. This guide will show you how to replace the fan.

For added safety, consider using hand protection gloves during the handling of the mesh grill cover in steps 6 and 11 to prevent injuries from its sharp edges.

In steps 5 and 12, securely hold the mesh grill cover with the cooler while flipping to prevent the fans from falling out, as they are not secured inside.

Before beginning, make sure to disconnect your laptop cooler from power. Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while replacing the fan.
