HP Envy x360 15m-bp111dx Cooling Fan Replacement

Introducción

This guide will be utilized to locate, remove, and replace the cooling fan of your HP Envy x360 15m-bp111dx. If your laptop has a clicking fan, or you suspect that there is a problem with the CPU fan/heat sink, use this guide to replace the CPU fan and heat sink. The fan and heat sink work together to draw heat away from the CPU, keeping it cool and allowing your device to run as efficiently as possible. If your fan is broken, it can cause a clicking sound or could lead to your device overheating.

Before using this guide, ensure that the venting holes on the back of the laptop are clear of dust and debris. Typically, you can remove dust and buildup with a small dust blower. Restart the machine to ensure the fan is still clicking.

The final step requires you to re-apply thermal paste onto the CPU. If you skip this step, you will almost certainly damage your machine.

Be sure that your laptop is powered off, disconnected from the power adapter, and that the components have cooled before beginning this replacement guide.
