How to replace cooling fan on Tecra A3?

Hi
I need to replace a fan of a Tecra A3. It makes a lot of noise, it appears to be broken.
I was trying to disassemble the laptop but there comes a moment that I can not continue.
Is there a manual or instructions for disassembling the computer?

Ok... it looks like you have begun the disassembling procedure and now you stuck somewhere and cannot remove the other parts... this is bad...
I remember that someone said her in the forum this;
If you don't know how to disassemble the notebook, DON'T touch it...
Ok... this advice is a little bit to late for you ;)
Anyway.. I think you should goggle around for some website:
This should be you last resort...
bye

Hi, Rick:
It appears that the manual for the g7-1300 series would also pertain to yours...same hardware specs...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5214430&
There is no manual linked to your notebook's support page, and the one for the g7-1139 is for older hardware (1st generation core processors).

Qosmio X500-11Q - How to replace cooling fans?

Hi,
I'd to know if i can replace processor fan. It makes a lot of noise, and overheating.
Any reference or tips please ?

Hey buddy.
In order to get access to the cooling modules, the whole notebook needs to be disassembled. :(
This is very tricky procedure since there are too many screws and parts which need to be removed.
I didnt find any disassembling manuals for download on the Toshiba European driver page I assume such docs are accessible for technicians only so I would no recommend trying to disassemble the notebook without having such guides.
Are you sure that your cooling module is faulty? Maybe there is dust and debris which affects the cooling fan functionality use compressed air spray which would helps to remove the dust in my case it helped

G6 1c58ca laptop want to replace cooling fan and copper part

i have probelm with cooling fan being really loud and making way too much vibration that actually numbs my hands while using wireless keyboard on same desk. so, i have taken apart the laptop to clean the cooling fan area with compressed air, and assembled it again, and ran the laptop.
a littble improvement but still same problem.
so i came to comclusion that the hardware part itself is the problem and i want to replace it.
so my question is where can i find or buy the cooling fan and copper colored line that is connected to cooling fan?

looked at amazon but they only had coolingfan part not the copper colored line.

How to replace hard drive bay fan?

The fan in my G5 tower dual 1.8 Ghz in the top bay - optical/hard drive bay - has started to make noise. I bought a replacement, but I don't see any way to get the old one out. It sits in a little depression in the bay floor, and even if I got out the 3 screws holding it in place, it won't tilt far enough front or back to slide out.
Anyone know of any write-up anywhere about how to replace this fan assembly?

Those two fans (media bay fans) are only given a mention in the "official" service manual.
The drive fan and blower located between the optical and hard drives cannot be
replaced. You must replace the enclosure for these two parts.
Does this mean the "entire" enclosure, as in the tower, or just an enclosure for the fans held to the tray of the media bay?
I don't know.
Maybe someone who has done this can offer advice, but it seems that there is a need for someone to write a manual for that procedure.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC faulty cooling fan needs replacement.

My cooling fan recently started becoming very loud on it's lowest speeds and I suspect I will need to replace it soon before it goes out completely. My question is where can I find replacement cooling fans for this product? The problem is I do not know the exact cooling fan I need to replace it and I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction.

How to replace a cooling fan.

Recently my toshiba satellite l455d-S5976 laptop started to over heat, and shut down from it. Figuring that simply clearing some gunk from the inside would solve my issues, I stupidly used a can of compressed air to blow into all the vents along the sides and bottom of the laptop. Later I find out that, since I didn't do anything to stop my fan from spinning too fast, I had completely ruined the laptop to the point that it would not stay on for more than 10 minutes without switching off.
My warranty is long since gone, and I don't have 200-500 dollars to pay for repairs that the representitive on the phone told me it would cost. After doing a little bit of research I've found a 25 dollar fan I can order online, and a recommended thermal grease to use with it.
However, this series of laptop seems to be fairly obscure, and the only information I can find about opening it up is to replace the CPU itself. To do that, however, it sais that you would need to completely dissasemble the laptop. I'm sure if push came to shove, I could manage to do so, but no doubt with quite a bit of a headache, but then on other series of Toshiba laptops I understand you can replace the fan/heatsink by simply removing the battery, unscrewing one panel, and replacing the parts from there. Is that possible with this series?
Also, do the fans come together as one unit with a heatsink, or do I have to detach the current fan from my heatsink and just replace the fan itself? If that's the case, I won't be needing to buy any thermal grease.
If it's any help here is the link to the fan and thermal grease I'm considering purchasing.
Fan: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000086560.aspx
Grease: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

I don't know much about your particular laptop, but all laptops I have delt with, I needed to dissasemble the laptop in order to replace the fan.
If you do not think you are up for doing the replacement and don't have the money to take it in to a shop, i recomend you try out a cooling pad. it shoots up air into your computer and cools it down. It is powered by your USB port.
However if you really want to fix it. you should open it up by removing all the screws, opening up the laptop, remember to disconnect any cables, unplug fan, unscrew the fan/heatsink, replace, do everything again in opposite order. For themal paste...I am not sure for your particular model, you would have to open your laptop to find out.

How many cooling fans are in 13" MacBook Pro retina?

I just got a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro with retina display and I'm wondering how many cooling fans are in the machine. I've noticed when I use iTunes to play music/movies or use the iTunes visualizer, it gets hot. I've seen the videos on the retinas and I've notived that the 15" model has two and I can't find any videos or pictures indicating whether the 13" has one or two. I know that the openings on the side are to bring in air and then pushes it out where the screen and the keyboard meet. I notice a lot of hot air coming out more towards the right of the machine than the left. I had a mid 2012 non-retina Pro but I had it replaced as it had too many issues and I know when I used it, it didn't get as hot when I did this stuff. I'm just making sure in case it's an issue, even thought I got this new MacBook on Monday 6/9/14. I'm also guessing it heats up faster since its a smaller machine and the components are a lot closer. And I understand that playing games or doing something that requires a lot of processing or graphics power will cause the machine to heat up since it's requiring so much from the machine. Like I said, I want to avoid having issues with this one. My last MacBook had three logic boards, two hard drives, hard drive cable, hard drive bracket, and clam shell replaced in less than a year of purchase in September 2013. When the hard drive crashed last week for no apparent reason last week, I took it to Apple on Monday this week and they finally made the choice to replace it completely and I upgraded to a retina just by paying the difference.

This is my mac's info. I got it as a gift from australia. Initial 3 months it gave me a superb service, but recently it's having a major overheating issue,it shoots up up to 87 degrees. Is it possible that any other components are damaged somehow? Usually the temperature shoots up while I play online streamings.

Satellite A30-514 is very slow, and how to service the cooling fan

My notebook has become very slow now. Power on need to use F1 to boot and this too is absolutely slow process. My machine has 512 MB RAM but shows only 480 MB on control panel. Does anyone think it is a RAM failure that has made the machine slow or something else. I have tried maintenance but did not help.
Also has any one got the details how you could open the unit up to service the cooling fan since the machine heats up a lot and need to service it.
thanks
Janak

Hi Janak,
Ok, lets break this answer down to two parts which hopefully will help:
1. The reason that Control Panel shows only 480MB when you have 512MB installed is because your laptop uses what is called "shared graphics", which means that the RAM used for the graphics card (which is actually built into the mainboard) is taken from the overall RAM. A quick calculation shows that you have a 32MB grpahics card: 480MB + 32MB = 512MB, so I wouldn't go out and replace the memory just yet!
2.There are several tools which can be found under Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools. These include Defrag and Disk Cleanup. Running through these (I would recommend Disk Cleanup before Defrag) may help clear some clutter from your hard drive and tidy things up a little. This is turn may give you back a little performance.
If none of this seems to make any difference, it may be that your hard drive is nearng the end of its life, or it may be that there is not much free space on it, both of which can cause a system to run slower than normal.
I hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

T43p Cooling Fan Replacement

Hi all,
Have a noisey cooling fan on my T43p-2686-DHU. So, have puchased from Lenovo part 26R9074 "long fan 24".
Before, I open my Thinkpad for the first time. Was wondering if someone has instructions on how to do this repair, pointer to pitfalls, or comments.
Thanks in advance,
Atul

this manual will show all the steps involved. The technicians at depot also follow this manual for most repair processes.
Fan replacement is fairly straight forward.

Cooling fan runs constantly on Tecra A3

I have a Tecra A3 an my fans runs constantly, even when idleing, and it has done this since i got it (about 18 months ago). It also runs at a constant rate, and it's just like hear Arnold talk - very annoying. Sometimes one (?) of the fans stopp running for just a couple a seconds, and then it starts again, back to the same speed. I've had the computer in for repairs, and they changed the fan and cleand the cooling system, but this didn't make things better, well, okay, I got rid of the ratteling sound, but that was all!
I've tried everything i can think of, currently I'm running the computer fixed on the lowest setting for the processor speed and battery optimized cooling by the help of the Power Saver utility, but it doesn't seem to help at all. I also tried setting the processor speed to low in the BIOS setup, this made some difference, and the fan stayed of for periods of up to 30 seconds (!), bur the performance of the computers performance was horrible with these settings so I had to change it back to dynamic processor speed.
As for the the temeratures i get at temperature of about 36-37 degrees celsius (95-97 degrees Fahrenheit) for the HD temperature (using speedfan). So theres no problems with overheating (?). This leads me to believe that this might be due to a bug in the software. I'm currently using a norwegian install of Windows XP with SP2, it's a custom install, provided by my university (my computer is a student PC bought through the university).
So, can anyone help my make my computer quiet, like normal, sane computers ?!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Stigs
I use Tecra notebook (M1) for years and I can tell you that this model is really one of quietest notebooks I know but it is definitely no utterly quiet and cooling fan runs almost constantly but on slowest level. I know that it has nothing with your problem but I just want to say that quietest notebook produces noises.
Reading your posting I can just say that you are probably right when you say that it can not be because of hardware because the notebook temperature is OK and there is no sign of overheating. The fact is that all newer notebooks are louder than some old models and Tecra A3 is one of them and unfortunately there is no much to do. As far as I know nobody has reported about any software bug till now. Many bugs are fixed by BIOS updates and all I can recommend you, is to check if new BIOS version is available and see if this can help. Please before you start with BIOS update read carefully Instructions how to do this.
Good luck!

Cooling fan is not working - How to disasemble Satellite L850

How do you strip a Satellite L850 so as to get to the cooling fan and replace it. The cooling fan became noisy then stopped working and now the laptop is shutting down as it gets too hot.
It is out of Warranty now as well.

Hi
Cooling fan replacement is pretty complicated procedure. Whole notebook must be disassembled and, as you probably know, it should be done by authorized personal only.
Fact is that notebook disassembling procedure must be done by specific order to avoid some damage. Many plastic parts have small plastic holders and if you dont know how to remove certain part can be broken. The whole disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document and cannot be downloaded.
What to say at this point? You can try to disassemble your machine but you will do this on your own risk. If you dont have experience with this I think it is not so good idea.
Do you know someone who can help you with this?
