Bless you omggg, I had the exact same fan break internally and was GRINDING against the housing plate and causing my laptop to overheat. I was afraid I was gonna have to remove the entire heat sink. Now my laptop is cool, calm, and collected! The local repair store wanted to charge me $170 and keep it for 2 weeks for parts and repair and I fixed it in under 20 mins and spent $15 on eBay. I’m so glad I found your channel!! 😭

I wish I could pay you more for this video but looks like this is the only option. I really appreciated you effort. You save me at least $100 and 3 weeks head ache that my Asus F15 fan made for me. I watched your videos and fixed it without paying anything. Just needed some clean up and oil. Thanks a lot.😊

Repairing laptops has been a hobby for me over the years, never my business, did it for a few friends, hear and there for some chump change/a beer. When I opened the laptop i was sure someone will find a way to replace that fan without disassembly of the cooling heatsinks. Let me say this, it is visible that you are a professional at your work, you explained everything and made it all enjoyable , kinda made me remember how fun it was at the begining to repair the dell latitudes and the ibm/lenovos of the time. Yo have my sub and appreciation :)

This is a very helpful video for those who experience cranking noise from the fan, basically a fan that still works but it making noise and seems to be stuck so it running slower and with much noise. That's basically what happen to my right fan, at first it started to make noise than over time it starts to make louder noise and the fan is running slower, not long after the fan is more and more stuck. I thought I need to buy a new fan but it just need some lube. I lube it with WD 40, just a little bit in the hole will do. And after I cut the edge off with the blade I didn't use tape or anything since there is one screw that holds the fan cover on. Definitely save me like $20-30 from buy a new fan and thermal paste, I always thought I need to remove the whole heat sink just to remove the fan. Thank you for making such useful video.

this is the exact video i needed to stop my fan from making terrible noises. 30 minutes back together and no noise. thanks for the video

my laptop fan was making vibration noice so i repair it by watching your video. your video is so helpful

Just wanted to say thank you and that this helped a lot. You did a great job at showing and explaining things and I was able to replace my fan without any issues. Great job.

Fantastic video - cleaned up 2 fans which we thought we would have to replace - both running smoothly now thanks to this video. Saved us some money 🙂

I'm actually in the process of upgrading my wifi card as the MediaTek one the laptop comes with is awful and constantly drops out. This disassembly helped a lot.

i had a wifi disappearing problem which i solved by cleaning the wifi card. But this video really helped be assemble and disassemble the parts , so Thanks.

thanks bud. Opened up my rig, but was to scared to keep going when I noticed I was needing to bend my motherboard. This video was a lifesaver. Subscribed and liked!

This was an awesome tutorial video, I tried fixing my old fan without taking it out and had so much trouble trying to get the actual fan off that I broke some of the blades, so I ended up getting a replacement on amazon and doing the full process, computer does not sound like a grandfather clock anymore! THANKS

Much appreciated bro. I had no idea what I was doing when I opened the bottom until imI found your video. Tysm for the in-depth tutorial 🙏

Feeling like a tech guy after changing both of my fans, thanks to you!

Great in-depth video and plz didn't skip any step of the process for making the video short it's great as it is, long and detailed.

Worked like a charm , I've reparired the fan and installed the same thing again. Thank you so much man !

Massive thanks. I’m a total computer noobie yet I was able to easily follow. Saved a ton of time and money and also learned something new.

Great detailed video. You are probably the only one who managed to show how to replace it without removing and repasting the heat sink. Not sure if you would remember if the primary and secondary SSD slots were pcie gen 3 or gen 4? I'm planning to put a nvme SSD in there when i open it up and would like to put in a gen 4 if it supports it.

my fan has the exact problen, thank you so much for sharing this video 🐐 I can take care of my pc now ✌

This helped me so much. I replaced both my fans and everything appears to be in working order. Ty!

without this vedio, i had no hopes of doing this attempt... you're just so nice you saved me a lot i got it done i just had to buy a screwdriver (ph1) and the job was done thankyou so much!!! this is a life hack LOL XD

This tutorial is very thorough, and I like watching one of these as you can really learn from it and not having questions after watching the video. Thank you very much man! I will try this on my machine soon!

Great video, helped me fix my loud fan for $0. I don't think you got back to discussing cutting off the long plastic bit that goes under the heatsink but after looking at mine (opposite side) and you the one in your video it looks like a channel that air would flow through in normal operation. Cutting it looks like it could leave the fan blowing some of the hot air into the body of the laptop, but I'm far from an expert.

Perfect tutorial! thank you! keep it up!

I download this video. It is very good. In other videos, they actually remove the entire cooling fin, then paste it again, etc. I'm going to do it on mine as well because sometimes it makes sounds like it wants to fall out of its place 😂✌🏾

Thank you I was able to fix my laptop the GPU fan was stuck I know it runs like new. It was a mess in there. I was able to disassemble and reassemble the fan as well as add lubrication thanks again for your video

The timing on this video is perfect. My friend's CPU fan just quit on them and disassembly is a pain in the neck. That last part of the fan that goes under the heat pipes is a nightmare.

Awesome video, just what I was looking for. I have an Asus a15 Tuf and 1 fan was making noises even when laptop was idle. Manged to remove both fans (slight issue with separating the fan as pushed too hard and broke a couple of blades, seems ok though until i get a replacement) and I didn't have any oil so used some lubricating stuff I had in my shaving kit. All quiet now and seems ok for the time being :) Thank you

Damn, you made it look so easy. I am here also facing the same fan problem and yeah the design of that right side fan is so purposeless. I am considering to try lifitng the MB but from the look of the video i don't think i need to unplug the wireless card because i am sure the wireless cable can still handle the gap. Thanks for the solution my guy

wow thank you for this video, my fan starting sounding like it was dying the other day. From other videos I though I'd have to remove the heatsinks etc, but you have shown me the light. :)

aMazig Fix Tutorial xD thx for u bro! I not need to replacement any parts, but like u movies ;P

Bro thank u so much it was going to be hard to get the replacement for the fan but u really genuinely helped 🙏🙏 u have a happy sub 😊... My pc changed from a dirt bike to a silent airplane... And also it works for fx505dv its a bit different but it will do

Thanks man! Mabuhay ka pa ng isang daang taon!

Omg you help me thank you so much ❤❤

Such a helpful guide, thank you for this!

You deserve more views!, very detailed, very helpful!

thanks for the tutorial

Thanks for the tutorial. I saw somewhere someone saying that that piece of plastic that sticks out is a channel to eject dust particles. ALso, have you been in a fight with a concrete wall?!

Do you have the fan part number and where you bought the fan. I have been running into the same problem. Thanks , this video was incredibly helpful. I just read one of the comments down the stream and saw the link to the amazon page. Again thanks for the info. INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!!!

Hey, it turns out my fan broke and this video actually really helped me! I managed to get the fan out, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find the replacement fan. Is there anywhere I can go so that I can order a replacement via the model number?

Hi Been. Thanks for this amazing informative video. I ve learned a lot. I have the same laptop and after 3 years the fans start making more noise but they are still spinning and make the laptop cool down. I noticed when I push the keyboard down a bit , fans making less noise. Any thought what the reason is? And should I replace the fans? if yes, could you tell me where can I find original or a very good ones? Cheers mate

I am scared but desperate. Here in south africa i am struggling to find a spare. The guy told me it would take 30 minutes to replace but his supplier cannot get stock. I am considering this option. I might bring it home tomorrow to try this fix. Thank you.

Thanks man🎉

thanks man really helped

I'm hoping to replace my fan (the other side) so that KS for this video, it's very helpful

Hey I tried buying a fan but had a doubt is there a max rpm limit with different ASUS tuf a15 fan or all oem work the same? Also can you share where did you buy the fan from

Hello sir, can i ask something where did you buy the fan. Cause i have also a problem with a Fan. Asus tuf A15 Fx506IU. Thanks!

Very nice job bro!

This looks extremely helpful, exactly what I need. I'm having trouble finding the right replacement fan though. Many sellers list only "FA506" or other models of the FA/FX506 series, but not the FX506IV that I need the fan for. Do they all use the same fan models? I would assume they do, but how can I be sure...?

14:04 any reason not to just cut off that big part on the top right of the fan? Is ok to do to both fans?

hey i know i am late, can you let me know which screwdriver did you use please

there is a small white split washer underneath the fan black sticker (where made in china is written peel that off and then remove that white washer to fix the fan. also the black plastic channel which you wanted to break is the fan self cleaning exhaust channel so never break it.. rest of the video is just gerat. good efforts put in by you. you should not have popped open the fan .you may have damaged the split washer already.

that damn plastic hook on the fan is ridiculous. my old asus laptop merely has three screws in the fan and you can take it right out and have immediate access to the heatsink fins. the same cannot be said for my new laptop. i can't even unhook it like this because the hook is now on top of the motherboard, directly under the heatsink next to the fins. while this isn't as severe as what apple is doing, it sure is heading that way. making the life of consumers harder by practically denying access to self-repairs, or making them unnecessarily difficult and time consuming, is a violently common progress amongst all tech and it's both infuriating and exhausting to deal with. definitely my last time getting a laptop from asus, or any brand in general

Is this a common issue with the ASUS TUF gaming laptops? I have a similar TUF laptop as well, bought in 2020 and one of the fans makes this grinding noise.

I already changed the GPU fan because it was no longer blowing air but it still doesn't blow much air, could you give me suggestions on what to do please?

Is there any way of replacing the CPU fan without moving the heatsink? Thank you so much!

my laptop the heat goes to 95 drgree, im bout to change fans but i also wanna change pad and paste do u know how thick of the Thermal pad is used for tuf a15 fa506iu?

im struggling to open the cover

I will be fixing mine in a week and this video was really helpful but can I ask for the fans name

Hey, great video. I have the same model laptop but I need to do a different repair. I cracked the screen on it and am looking to replace it myself. Do you have any tips on how I should go about doing this?

Can you show us how to replace the cpu fan too?

I have a Asus Tuf Gaming F17 FX766LI the GPU fan started making a sound when I cleaned it yesterday. I think Asus does it on purpose. It gets some misalignment when you clean it. Happend with my CPU fan after cleaning started making a huge sound and then stopped working But I got it replaced free on warranty. I have added an SSD upgraded ram that voids my warranty even if I clean it at home it voids the warranty. So I removed the upgrades and when the Service Technician gave me back the laptop he was acting weird he told me to check it. I found it fine then I heard something move inside like something was lose. I tried to shake it nothing happend. I asked is something screw left inside. He did not reply just acting weird. I was happy to get my laptop back ingored it Went hope had trouble opening one of the screws but managed to open it put all the upgrades and screwed it back. 3 months later when I tried to open thata screw gave me problem I held it up with tweezers and managed to open it. I installed another SSD I could not get it to close I opened it and saw that the screw was under the Hinge and the metal threading that the screw fits into is held in place by a star shaped plastic housing that is protruding out of the back panel. This had been broken and now it was compleletly broke and piece of the plasti c were lose I collect it kept it. Now I realized why the Service Technician was acting weird. He had damaged it put the asshole kept silent. I realized that the heat from teh CPU fan had made the plastic brittle. (Asus laptops are cheap shit) So he need take the blame and he could have got me a back panel replacement. Now the problem is there is no way I can claim something like that happened without admitted that I tried to open the laptop if tell them I have opened the laptop my warranty is void. So Now I am in a fix I really don't know what to do So I am searching how to fix this. The strange part is if I flick the laptop with my finger in the fan area the noise stops. I opened it once and just checked the alignment just shook the fan beat it a little and there was no noise for 5 hourse. Otherwise ever since noise started if I flick it or tap it the noise would start again in 5 minutes or less. Now it has again started making sound out of the blue. I again tapped it and its quiet. There seems to be no change in the fans speed when this happpens. So I am not sure what to do I think I can try fixing. I still have wrranty till the end of this year ends on Jan 1 2024. But I cannot give it for service as the screw is not hodling it I have not screwed it back Kept it safely. Will this work. Also is there any solution for the screw. I am thining of gluing it to the hinge but not sure which glue would hold the screw if tigtened to tight. If I could find a good metal to metal glue then I could just glue it. They can't see the plastic broken. But I will still throw in the piecs I picked up. So when the Service Technician is opening it if he breaks the screw head glue then I he might think he broke the plastic housinc since he already broke it once before. If its the same Service Technician . Then I will get my replacment. Damn I am in a fix or else I can just a replacement fan but I can't find asus original. I guess using a chinese made knockoff is better than the the original replacment fan as evertime I clean it, it will fail. Atleast the chinese made knockof might last longer.

Do you know what the part numbers are for the fan? Want to make sure I don't order the wrong one.

How much replacement for fan?

How would you go about removing the other fan. That one has been sounding like a wood chipper

Hi thanks for this Video. Can I use this laptop without battery? Do it work after I removed the battery?

Did you use an OEM fan or aftermarket fan dor replacement?

I have this exact laptop. I was using it as a mobile hot spot for my TV. Suddenly it stopped working. It says I am connected with high strength but I have no internet. Would the cause be the wifi card?

Hey, can i do the same thing with my asus tuf a15 too? But the thing is my model doesnt have that copper sink? I believe the tube looking that connects the two fans below the gpu fan near the wifi. If only i can show the picture, but this makes the sink not overlap the screw of the gpu fan. Do you think i can do the same as this?

hey dude! mind telling me the size of those screws holding the heatpipes and fans? is it phillips 1 or 0?

Did someone attempt to remove this fan without having to disconnect the wifi card? It is somehow always the GPU fan that gets stuck for some reason and I need to change it or try to fix it cos it really has problems spinning but I don't want to mess with the wifi card it looks so touchy and breakable...

Hey can someone please help me? I have a similar but not exacly the same version of this laptop and i got new fans to replace the old and loud one, but after installing, i noticed that the side of the fan is open and all the air comes off from the side rather than upwards (my laptop has airvents there and not to the side) and so all i need is the black tape that is missing from the new one. Anyone knows what am i talking about? Maybe you know the tape's name so i could search for it?

what is the direction of rotation of the fans?

Can you use WD-40 as lubricant?

Hey, I was wondering where you bought the fan and for how much?

Where can I buy the fan?

what's the scew size for the heat sink?

Can you reply with a link to the wifi card. The one in my model keeps dying out. Thanks in advance.

hello, i just sent my laptop of this model for a cleaning and repaste and afterwards the performance was much worse,the gpu temp goes up to 90c on non graphics heavy games, i noticed that the fans wasnt making any noises and theres barely any air flow out of the sides which i usually have before the cleaning,ive checked the insides myself and things look pretty okay,any idea for my issue? thanks

may i know which one is gpu fan & which one is cpu fan?

Which fan is which? Which ones foe the CPU and the fan for GPU?

Where are you bought those fans?

ay dude did you ever find out if you can remove that damn plastic arm :') im replacing both fans rn and thinking about it

Wifi is a problem due to heat since is under the nvme drive .. I get 1mbps or less in download speed

exact same model exact same fan making trrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noise at medium speed

Nice.. What fan did you order?

Can anyone here tell me, is there is only a one way to set the fan in a slot or it can be set in any other way

Bro who were you fighting?

Can i use the same fan for asus tuf FA706IC

Can anyone here tell me where to get the official asus tuf A15 FA506IV fans? I don't trust the random amazon suppliers and my repair worked, but I can tell I'll eventually need to get a new CPU fan.

where to find cmos?

People really need to learn how to maintain their laptops. That looks so disgusting

Pls neme of cpu fan?

Bro can u tell if there is CMOS battery?
