You are a skilled teacher! You tell us why you're removing something. Also, you speak clearly. There is no obnoxious music or just silence. Your lighting is perfect, and you let us see how you find out you need to remove one more screw. I wish I'd seen your video before I finished doing the same thing this afternoon. Disassembly took me four hours, and re-assembly took an hour. You need to tell your viewers that those two ribbon cables that cross the silver top plate are NOT connected to zero insertion force sockets; you actually have to grab the cable and "unplug" it. The angled forceps you use are perfect; everyone should have a pair. I replaced the fan, because the old one got noisy after about 15 minutes on a flight simulator I'm giving to a former student who wants to learn to fly. I would suggest that you tell your viewers to replace the heat sink grease also after they remove the fan assembly. I replaced the heat sink grease in mine, and the result was a much cooler CPU. The NVidia chip uses a thermal pad, so you don't have to re-grease that. For laughs: I find that customers who have 1) cats, 2) shag rugs or 3) live in a cold climate where they wear heavy coats have the most crud in their fans. If you catch it early enough, an "air can" blown in from the left air outlet will get a lot of the dust out. If it's like what you found, disassembly is the only solution. I usually take a piece of clear tape to pick up their dust and I tape it to an index card. When I present my bill, they don't argue! Thank you for this video.

Waouh ! All of the stuff you have to Take apart on a laptop just for a single fan. That's a lot of work ! And also you have to memorise all of the screws. Which one goes in and all...

These are a pain to take apart. I have done several due to needing the cpu or gpu to be reflowed.

I pulled the front panel a bit high and it broke the cable. Does it mean I’m screwed?

my laptop is missing that kind of long flat cable ( s shape) from power button panel connected to mother board..you can see in time 6:40 in your own video, can you please tell me the name of that flat cable or does it has code for me to buy it? thank you

One screw wont budge
