I had a viewer send me a generous contribution and this link. If you guys need a replacement heatsink you can find one here from their shop. parts-hq.com/shop/5h40s19962-heatsink-thm-with-fan-847882 Ebay and Amazon are usually good sources as well.
@@ryanfuller5 Always good to shop around. I just put that link in case it has things people can't find elsewhere. Didn't mean to misguide people. Sorry.
Thank you, sir. My son was pretty nervous about opening his laptops to clean the fans. You made it seem easy enough to do that part that he seems more confident. 🙂
Your video was clear and easy to follow. I was able to successfully replace the fan/heat sink in my Lenovo Yoga with a a new one that I bought on eBay. Thank you!!

Same! Same laptop and same exact fan blade. I called Lenovo to open a claim when my laptop was still under warranty (within 2-3 weeks of it ending) and they kept curving my calls until my warranty ended.
This is exactly what I needed, I was able to find the part because it’s hard to find now and the charge to get Geek squad to replace it is too expensive. After watching your video I was able to change it myself. Thank you so much for putting this out there!
Great tutorial, I had that exact same noice on the fan, but my fan was barely dirty, instead I noticed that two of the fins on the right fan was kind of misplaced, I just putted back in place with the tweezers, anyway I also did the cleaning as you instructed and that was it. Thanks

Thanks so much for the vid. I have the exact model w the exact same problem (fan noise sounded exactly the same too), and knowing that the fan will most likely need to be replaced all together helps a lot w what I need to do.

MIN 25:48 that part that bends is like a plastic tape if you peel it off you expose the center of the fan, I put some oil on it and it's working fine, but that's half a solution because now you need to seal it back 🤷♂...btw thanks for video!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was actually a really helpful comment, because you don't need to remove the heatsink at all. When you peel back the tape there is a tiny hole on the edge of the fan right where the blades meet the middle. You can see some copper wiring and perhaps a plastic bit where the fan rotates. Maybe a circuit board at the bottom. Something that looks like the end of screw in the middle. I wiggled some lightweight oil into the hole (difficult too do). Need to replace the tape. We'll see how long this holds. Did you try destroying the junk fan after replacing it to see if there is a method to repair it a little easier?.
hi thank you so much for the video. i've temporarily disconnected my broken fan but it seems like the replacement part for this fan isnt as easily available (anymore?). do you recommend still trying to replace it, i brought my c740-15 in january 2020 and im starting to think i might be better off getting a new, different model, since this seems like a common issue
Great video keep up the good work. Your detailed explanations are really helpful too. Always wondered which screwdrivers are used during these repairs and you made it clear each time you switched one out. So thank you. Btw did you end up posting another followup video replacing the fan you had to buy from amazon?

Would the process for replacing the fan for a C240-14IML be fairly similar? obviously the fan is different but would you say this video can serve as a guide for the 14 inch?
I have the same model Lenovo as the one in your video. Can you please post the part number of the fan / not the heatsink assembly ONLY the two-motor fan, my fan needs to be replaced as it is making a ton of noise.
Mine is having the same issue as well. Do you still do these repairs? This is helpful, but waaaay to intricate for a non-tech-savvy person like me. In all seriousness, where is your business located? I need help! I'm a student and this sound is driving me crazy.
i looked up fan replacements, but can't decide which one to get. there seems to be official lenovo ones and generic fans for c740, some with just the fan and some with the heat sink. do you have any website where to get these replacement part and whether i can get priority shipping?
@omegabyte3541 it doesn't void your warrantee, but it gives them reason to say you did something to the computer. Apple wouldn't honor extended warranty because the person said I opened their laptop...
Any chance you know of website I can either by the fan (DFS1507053H0T) or the full heat sink assembly (5H40S19962)? I need to find one quickly! Thank you

Thanks for this helpful video. Did you know that the cost of the fan for this model is OBSCENE! One can get used versions of this computer model for *less than this simple part*! Yes, such computers are used, BUT THE COMPUTER ONE IS FIXING IS ALSO USED. So, it is LITERALLY cheaper to just buy another computer rather than the fan. That situation should not be. It seems extremely artificial and forced on the market. I suspect Lenovo did this on purpose or at least allowed to happen with disregard for the consequences felt by their customers. Good god, this enrages me. If I had known Lenovo would screw over its customers this bad, I would not have bought it. Consider me an HP customer from now on!
@@ItsBinhRepaired I left it open and on updating plugged in, when I returned it was off and no longer responsive. I tried the little reset button on back and holding the power button down. It will not show any signs of life.
Hey how can I send you my laptop to help fix it? I have the same exact one as in this video. My problem is when I power it on the fan will start to blow and then give up and 1 of 2 things will happen. 1: it'll bring me to the login screen and i'll enter my password/fingerprint and it'll just freeze and not turn on 2: it'll say windows didn't start properly and im met with troubleshooting solutions to try but none of them work. it turned on today and was working for like 5 minutes and i tried updating windows + lenovo because maybe that's what's the issue and it just froze again. please help ! 😭😭😭😭😭
Do you think I could with not replacing the thermal paste on the heat sink? I don't have any, and don't want to spend money on some since I will never use thermal paste again lol
If you can't tell from the video, I don't recommend you attempt it because you'll likely destroy your computer which will cost you more than a tube of thermal paste. Lol
If I had to explain the science behind everything, like, why you turn screws counterclockwise to remove them, why you have to remove them before taking things out, etc. The video would be much much longer. Lol What are you trying to repair?
@@dkevvv you really like the word "just" don't you? The way you worded your question, " *just to* remove the fan" made it seem like you felt what I did was unnecessary and you know better. Like someone asking why they need to shut off the electricity before replacing an electrical outlet. See if you can spot the difference. Why do we need to shut off the electricity to replace an electrical outlet? Why do we need to shut off the electricity *just* to replace an electrical outlet? It makes a huge difference the way you ask the question.
That part number didn't match the actual part you eventually will need to order - Lenovo will find your laptop by serial number and list all of the parts. Not sure why you removed the batteries - unhook them. Why did you think you could remove the fan blade. You may have some experience doing this, but you still have a lot to learn.
Watch this video and the others in the description th-cam.com/video/3zs_SJ3BXgA/w-d-xo.html People that think they know, don't know because they don't try. They only assume. That's the difference between being taught and actually learning, exploring, and discovering.

Same problem, same fan. I hope Lenovo is paying attention and change or control better their suppliers

This seems to be a very common problem. How hard is it to make a decent basic laptop that actually works, Lenovo?
