Dell Latitude 7420 Fan Assembly Replacement

소개

If your laptop keeps overheating, you may need to replace the fans and heat sink. Your Dell Latitude 7420 laptop may overheat due to dirty or dusty vents or fans. This can often be fixed by cleaning out the vents or fan with a dust blower. If that doesn't fix the issue, checking the thermal paste under the heat sink is a good idea because it may need to be replaced too.

Before starting, please ensure the device is turned off and disconnected from any adaptors or charging cables.

Likewise, use an anti-static band or mat when opening computers or handling components.

If the thermal paste in the Dell Latitude 7420 needs to be replaced, an in-depth application guide can be found here.
