Introduzione

Use this guide to replace the heat sink in your HP Pavilion 14-bk061st laptop.

The heat sink is an important part of any computer that disperses heat away from the CPU (Central Processing Unit). A faulty heat sink can put your CPU at risk of overheating, which can result in a system failure of the entire computer.

Before using this guide, make sure that the problem you are having is a faulty heat sink first and not a computer fan problem causing the computer to overheat, as a computer fan not performing properly is a common issue that causes general overheating. To find out more about this, visit the troubleshooting page.

Thermal paste is important to help with heat conduction between the CPU and heat sink. When putting the heat sink onto the CPU, it is absolutely crucial to reapply this paste, otherwise the CPU may overheat. To learn more about this, check out this guide on how to apply thermal paste.

Remember to power off the computer, as well as disconnect all external components that are plugged into it.

    • Unclip the back plate using a plastic opening tool.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXhVP0Un... This video helped a little. It is very hard to pry the left or right side away as the manual says. The video shows lifting from the center of the back. This bows the lid and consequently pulls the left and right sides inward slightly. I enhanced this movement by pushing inward from the right and left sides with my thumb while pulling up from the center of the back panel. This popped open the clasps on the right. Lifting the right back corner and pulling to the right, I got the clasps on the left to disengage. Once the clasps on the left and right towards the back came loose, the rest was far less stubborn.
