Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

4

Time Required

10 - 30 minutes

Introduction

This guide will walk you through removing the Fan Assembly on an Aorus x7 v2. The fans must function, as laptops work best with proper ventilation and cooling and if they are damaged or fail, the laptop my quit working or damage other important components.

Before starting this repair, power off your device and unplug from your charger. It is also wise to remove the battery or at least disconnect the battery cable.

    • Flip the laptop over.

    • Unscrew the 12 screws on the bottom.

    • Take off the bottom cover.

    • Remove the 12 screws on the heat sink.

    I recommend having the heat sink screws circled in orange in both pictures.

    • Remove the heat sinks one by one.

    Instead of two pictures of removing heat sinks, one with both in place, and one with one removed and the other still in place.

    • Unscrew the six screws from the left and right fans.

    • Locate the connection plug for the fan to the motherboard.

    • Remove the left fan connector.

    I would recommend moving the last picture and bullet to step 4.

    • Remove the right fan connector.

    • Carefully lift up the left and right fans.

    • Set the fans to the side before installing new fans.

    I would suggest adding at least one step after this one for installing the new fans.
