Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB Right Fan Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 6 Steps
This guide shows you how to swap out or remove the right fan in your Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB. Laptop fans are the MVPs of cooling, working hard to keep the components from overheating so they perform like champs. If your fan’s been giving you noisy vibes or hitting high-pitch whine mode, it’s probably time for a replacement. You could also try giving it a blast of compressed air to evict any freeloading dust that’s slowing it down.
Step 1
Power down your computer and unplug that charger before diving in—safety first, always!
– Turn your laptop upside down to reveal its hidden treasures on the underside.
– Carefully take out the ten 7mm T5 Torx screws like a pro.
Step 2
– Gently pop off the bottom cover with an opening tool. Don’t be shy—start at the front edge and work your way along the sides like a pro.
Step 3
– Lift the bottom cover gently and slide it away from the back hinges.
Step 4
Flip your laptop over so it’s bottom-up. Look for the right fan—it’s chilling on the left side of the laptop, just next to that big ol’ shiny metal RAM cover. Easy to spot, right?
– First things first, let’s disconnect that fan cable! Gently pull the wire towards the back of the laptop while giving it a little wiggle to help loosen the connection.
– And hey, if you’re having a tough time, those handy white tabs on the connector are there to help you push the cable free. You’ve got this!
Step 5
– Unscrew those two 4mm Phillips #1 screws and let the adventure begin!
Step 6
– To wrap things up, simply reverse the steps and you’ll be all set!
