Introduzione

If your Lenovo Ideapad 320-17IKB is overheating or burning you when you touch the bottom, use this guide to help you replace the heat sink.

The heat sink is designed to disperse the heat from its source allowing for better cooling.

Before using this guide, please inspect the openings around the outside of the laptop to make sure there is nothing clogging the opening. If there is something blocking the opening please remove it and check to see if that fixed the issue.

Be sure to keep the openings clean because too much dust can also cause overheating.

Before beginning, please make sure that your Lenovo Ideapad is powered off and disconnected from any external power source.

Have fun fixing!

Guys, did you notice the hole in the heat sink just above the processor? Doesn't it make the heatsink less effective?
