DESCRIPTION
Welcome to HowFixit! In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to disassemble Lenovo ThinkPad X201 laptop, clean its fans, and replace the thermal paste. Our comprehensive tutorial will equip you with the knowledge of fixing laptop overheating issues. From disassembling your laptop to cleaning the fan and heatsink from dust and applying thermal paste, we've got you covered. Say goodbye to overheating and hello to improved performance!
* Laptop Disassembly Guide:
Disassembling your laptop may seem daunting, but I'll break it down into easy-to-follow steps. You'll learn how to remove the laptop's casing, locate and clean the heatsink and fans, and access to CPU for thermal paste replacement. By following this guide, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your laptop's internals and how to keep it running smoothly.
* Fan Cleaning Techniques:
Dust and debris can accumulate in your laptop's fans and heatsink over time, leading to reduced airflow and increased temperatures. I'll show you effective methods to clean your laptop using an antistatic brush and proper handling techniques. By keeping your cooling system clean, you'll prevent overheating and extend the lifespan of your laptop.
* Thermal Paste Replacement:
Thermal paste plays a crucial role in transferring heat from the laptop's CPU and GPU to the heatsink. However, over time, a thermal paste can dry out and lose its effectiveness. I'll guide you through the process of removing the old thermal paste and applying a fresh, high-quality one. This step is vital for optimal heat dissipation and temperature management. Don't let an overheating laptop slow you down! Watch this comprehensive guide and take control of your laptop's temperature. By performing regular fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement, you'll ensure smooth operation, prevent hardware damage, and extend the life of your laptop. Hit the play button now and let's get started!

Hello! Your video helped me repair my x201. The fan was $10, took two weeks from china, install was a snap, and she's cool as a cucumber now. Went ahead and maxed the ram and a fresh install on a new ssd, and this little tank is like a new machine. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the amazing video ! just changed the thermal paste with your guide and my x201 is not overheating anymore🤩
thanks for this video -- very helpful. I noticed that you didn't replace the thermal grease on one chip when you reassembled. When I removed the heatsink / fan assembly all 3 chips had thermal grease on them.
You do not need to because there is thermal pad there :)
Thanks for video new fan replaced in my x201. I need to invest in anti static gloves cause wearing none is risky but everything is working no boot errors.
The Lenovo hardware maintenance manual is a big help, here is the current link to the relevant section for an X200 download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6632_03.pdf#page=109&zoom=auto,-13,333
This video would have been even better if it had been shot the other way up.
The Lenovo manual emphasizes the sensitivity of some of the systemboard components, and the importance of antenna cable management.
This video helped me identify things from the Lenovo hardware maintenance guide which I didn't actually need to do (full removal of LCD, removal of a screw near the power port which is partly obscured by the LCD).
I linke this tutorials without annoying music. Thank you!
Sadly i can't remove the fan from the cooler since it is not screwed in like in your case but new thermal paste will help a lot. Anyway thank you for this video.
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH."
if you only want to clean the fan is it really necessary to dismantle the whole laptop...
Not necessarily, but after several years of use the thermal paste could definitely use a replacement, and that is something you need to take everything apart to access.
Thanks a million, your video helped a lot.
Thank you for the video.You helped me a lot!
are that cpu is upgradeable or not? can't wait for answer, thanks
thanks
I ran a lenovo Diagnostics on my X220. Everything checked out except the Fan test. It read "Fan unavailable." In other words it's like the system could not detect or see the fan. But I can feel air coming outta the vents.
Is there a problem with the fan that it is seen as unavailable?
the cable's connector connect to the motherboard maybe loose or faulty.
А вентиль смазать??
А прокладку сменить??
=============================
And grease the cooler ??
And change the thermal pillows ??
Muito bem construído, mas bem mau projetado, para vc conseguir trocar um cooler, tem que desmontar o note, praticamente até a última peça, isso é péssimo!
thanks very useful
Thank you
Thx a lot!
My main computer is a T61. Is it bad that I haven't made any upgrades
thanks. It is too difficult for me to clean my X200 by myself.
Thank you for this video. I was wondering if you might know of a resource that provides written and photo instructions for how to do this procedure? I have looked everywhere I could think of and since I am wanting to do the procedure on the computer that I use, I can't play a video while doing the work. If you don't know of anything, that's okay, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask! :-) Thank you anyway.
+ChinaMo sorry, but i don't know where you can find photo guide
what tools do you use and where to buy ?
how many MM thick for thermal pad.
you not use thermal past for cpu :/
quisiera saber qué es lo que pones, que clase de pega es antes de volver atornillar
Es pasta térmica que se pone sobre el procesador. Después de unos años la pasta vieja ya no transfiere igual el calor entonces hay que reemplazarla con una capa nueva.
оставил старую, продавленную термопрокладку - незачет
Way too much thermal paste, and you missed a chip.
Thanks a million, your video helped a lot.
