- In this video I will show you the easiest way of cleaning the fans without disconnecting any wires or components from Y540.
Me after cleaning the fans after a long time saw a drastic improvement is thermal performance as even when my CPU was at 100% usage the fans were quite and didn't rev up to its max speed making it one of the most efficient ways to improve the performance.
The model used here has :

IMPORTANT NOTE :

Thank you sir. This is the first time I opened something without destroying it. It does have better cooling now. Thank you
U r always welcome
@@SaMiNMThe rear grill design could have been better. These holes look scary as fuck. Lenovo should have used line design like Asus.
Thank you so much! I had to clean the fan for the first time, because guys from the service centre tricked me saying that they cleaned it... Now I can clean it by myself and save money. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
I wanted to thank you dearly. I am usually scared to tinker with electronics but this time I decided to step up. I hadn't opened my laptop since I bought it 2 years ago or smth and I had issues with FPS drops. Man were my fans full of dust. Now everything works fine again. I was mainly scared of the de-clipping part and I broke a knife initially but I eventually got it opened quite cleanly! I recommend everyone this tutorial if you own a Y540 however it's really important to have a brush in my opinion, I don't know how I would have been able to clean the fans efficiently otherwise.
You sir, deserve more views and likes! I was struggling trying to find out how to open my laptop. This is a tricky one and the video explains it really well and direct to the point. Thanks a lot!
Much appreciated!
Thanks mate will be doing this asap, thing sounds like a jet engine
Just wanted to say a big thanks, you made my life way easier for opening my Y540!
It went perfectly and I got a solid -10°C on every single core for the same usage.
Thanks for sharing this! Clean explanations, clean opening with the protective sheets and so (good idea!) and very nicely made with very little tools required.
Awesome job sir!
Thank you so much. When i opened my laptop it was CAKED in dust so I’m glad this tutorial allowed me to pry open the cover safely
Glad it helped
I don’t like stepping out my comfort zone, but I step out and followed the video to the T and omg no more humming, it’s not over heating ‼️‼️❤️👏ty
..I watched the videos a few times before I actually did it 😅😅
U r welcome..
@@SaMiNM why the dots
thank you for sacrificing your credit card for this video !
Thank you. First time opened my laptop and after that successfully start also. Ty
Glad I could help..
A huge thanks, first time i did this for my nearly 2-years old laptop, i gained over 20°C on GPU.
Kinda stressful but your video is well explained and serves as a great guide. Thanks you very much !
Thank you! This was super helpful as I haven't cleaned my laptop since I got it 2 years ago. Opening it was a tricky one but I was able to give the fans the cleaning they need. Kudos!
Not Turi ip ip again 💀
The best tutorial on how to clean a Legion, well done!
Thank you for this video. I cleaned my Lenovo Y540 fans & now its clean & dustfree.
U r welcome
Man thank you so much. Simple Tutorial, the device sounds like brand new now!
Soon will be making a video of how to do Thermal re-paste of Y-540 soon. Get Subscribed to get notified when I do so......
Need that quickly..

Thankyou~ followed your vid and was able to get it opened with just a guitar pick.
😂 Nice 👍
Stressed af but i made it ! Thank you !!
Thank you Sir, I need to buy a mini magnetic screwdrier and brushes, but I now feel confident cleaning my laptop.
Even with the best of care, those fans and vents get clogged and gross very quickly. Why oh why don't manufacturers make access easier? That back grill could have been made to lift out independently, allowing easy access for cleaning but, no, you have to remove the entire back panel. Not for the faint-hearted and this one is quite straightforward.
Still, many thanks for the video, very helpful.
Thank you for this! Planning to clean my lenovo legion y-540 by myself too cuz its too expensive to have it cleaned by other people.
Brilliant video thank you 😊
Thanks now i can clean it without destroying the parts😂
if you have the 17 inch model, i would suggest taking the fans out. most of the dirt was stuck in the vents. my temps dropped by more than 20 degrees.
Thank you! My laptop got a much needed cleaning, it almost looks brand new!
Thanks man. It wasn’t actually as hard as i thought. At first it used to vibrate and i thought it was my phone but then i looked it up and I found out the fans in the laptop needed cleaning beacause of the dust. I used to put it under my bed and there is always dust there. After the cleaning I can’t hear the fans at all. Btw it doesn’t get us hot us it used to be.
Thanks man i opend and closed it with any problem by just watching this video have a nice day
Glad I could help
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I have Y730 but it seems pretty similar how the back panel opens and inside placements too. I'm hearing too much fan noises from pc and also task manager sometimes shows 100% cpu usage when I'm not even running anything. Would cleaning the fans solve that problem?
Great job sir, guys like u making TH-cam a better place..
Glad you made this video. Thanks!
U r always welcome
Thank you very much for this!
Glad I could help
Thank you, Samin. Amazing tutorial
Thanks for sharing mate !! I use this video as reference when i wanna clean my laptop !!
U r wlcm
I did it sucessfully!!!thank you for the tutorial💗
Could you use compressed air?
Yes you can use compressed air for cleaning the fan but if you are cleaning after a long time you will see that some dust can only be removed by directly applying physical force on them, that why I chose a gentle painting brush.
I suggest that at the end you can use compressed air to make sure that the exhaust vents are clean...
Is it necessary to clean the side and back vents?
Use a flashlight to see if there is anything blocking the airflow if there is not then there is no need to do it.
Since you opened it I recommend that you clean everything as much as possible....
What do you think? 😂🤭
This Y540 laptop gets so hot and its really loud but otherwise it's a beast. I was able to run all my games no problem.
*visual anxiety*
Thank you ❤
Is it possible to remove the fans by removing the two screws on sides of it ?
No there are more screws under the heat pipes which can only be removed by removing the thermal cooling system completely which is difficult as removing it means while putting it back on you have to reapply thermal paste on both GPU and CPU and most while screwing back the heat sink on the processor and GPU if one side is applied more pressure it can cause the chips to crack or break into two pieces which is something you definitely don't want to happen at any cost.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING TO REMOVE THE FAN UNLESS YOU ARE IN PRESENSE OF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO THERMAL PASTING...
@@SaMiNM Its shown in this video:
th-cam.com/video/_QpSgBcdtWo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much bro
May I ask why you didn't removed battery plug?
Very good video.
But main thing u dint show in the video was to how to deep clean the fans.
So here it is, remove the fan cover (only 4 screws, very small) then you'll get access to clean the vents from inside. And that's how u do the deep cleaning.
I already linked this in the pinned comment but here you go.

Thanks buddy! Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this awesome guide. Really helped !
How regularly would you recommend doing this cleaning ??
How often depends upon the location you are in, If you are using it mostly in an air conditioned room you will be needing to do it less often compared to someone who uses it in open window room.
The best way to decide when to do it is when u notice that fans are ramping up frequently at minimal usage OR shine your phone's flashlight into the intake grill at the bottom after shutting it down where u can clearly see how clogged up the fans are.....
@@SaMiNM I stay in a windowed room facing the road. I cleant it today for the first time since owning it (bought it a year back). It was full of dust and there is a marked difference while running it now.
How often would you suggest i clean it ?
@@Virtualism22 Roughly 3 times a year (use flashlight to see and decide mainly)
@@SaMiNM Thanks !
Did u notice any major improvement in cooling ?
The fan's don't throttle up even when I my CPU usage is 100% and GPU usage is at 60% its day and night when I compare it with before..
Thanks, it helped a lot.
Thank you so so so so so so much this vid was a life saver
Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful🙏🤣 I’m grateful, keep up the good work! :DD
can i just use a vacuum cleaner from the outside and go over the grill?
Nice tutorial. Good luck sir.
Thanks
Thank you! Very helpful.
Hi! i have a question, my laptop have some dust on the grid, is it possible to remove it using compressed air? or this method is incorrect. Thanks!
Thaaanks man!!
U r welcome
Man my laptop temps started creeping to 100 deg C when i game. It’s already undervolted too. Thinking about shipping it to lenovo because it’s still in warranty, but dont want to wait a couple weeks to get it back. Im going to give this a try tomorrow. :)
This will improve the cooling for sure but if u don't any major improvement then I think the thermal paste in your laptop is not done properly or burned up....
But I don't recommend you doing it alone considering this is your first time repasting a CPU and GPU,there is a lot things that can go wrong....
SaMiN M thank you! I didnt know it should be done by an experienced person. I’ll know not to do it myself now. :)
Yep fan cleaning you can do it by yourself no risk but repasting involves the step of screwing back the heatsinks back on the CPU and GPU where if done wrong and one side gets excess pressure it can cause the chip to crack into pieces that is literally destroying the entire laptop.... Something no one should experience...
Use Laptop external cooling fan
Thank you Chikki. Big Fen
OMG BEAST COMMENTED ON MY VID 🥵🥵
Can't understand why Lenovo hasn't made that back grill detachable without having to open up the entire back. It also doesn't seem to be coming of easily and there's a risk of breaking those internal pins. Companies these days would make everything hard to get in so you send it to them for $. I guess my fans will stay dirty. Thanks for the vid anyway
Lenovo's laptops are actually more easy to open as their design are more straight lined and not curved like most of the other laptops on the market where thery are curved and fitted with red accent pieces for gamer look which makes removing the back plate be needing to remove additional parts and unclipping is an actual nightmare..
Thanks for the guide
Hey I touched the board is it going to be okay?
Thermal Repaste Tutorial :
th-cam.com/video/_QpSgBcdtWo/w-d-xo.html
It also shows how to remove the fans itself and clean them..
Thanks. It was really helpful.
May I use the vacuum cleaner for this?
The dust in the fan are the type which are formed by very small dust particles that got accumulated together over a long time. These dust particles can only be removed by applying direct physical contact force on their surface.
If u plan on using a vacuum cleaner you have get the size of the nozzle and vents matching and if u accidentally drop the nozzle on the board it could damage it.....
The best way I would recommend if u want more cleaning action is to use COMPRESSED AIR CANISTERS to blow air in and out but after completing the brush cleaning..
Thanks for the video. I bought the same laptop a few weeks ago, and the right fan works more than the left one when im playing. Is it normal? Is there an option where I can modify that?
It's normal, one fan is for CPU (bigger) and the other one is for GPU and there is no dedicated fan speed control inbuit (maybe 3rd party will be available) rather it has three modes available in the Vantage menu as performance, balance and quiet. While gaming use performance mode for better performance..
@@SaMiNM okay thanks!!
Thank you ! Fantastic
Unclipping the sides was a tricky one
I think there are two clips on the extruded side that need to be unclipped. Correct me if I am wrong...
What screwdrivers do you need?
Hello! I have problem with my y540. When I enter any game, it gets hot at charging port and it just stops charging (charging port checked at repair shop and they said charging port is not a problem). Should I try remove battery and test it without battery?
what to do if i cant remove screws?
My same laptop as ur video keep having a noisy voice, could be a fan ?
Did ever face the issue of charger tip getting very hot and charging goes on and off
I did the tutorial but my fans do still turn on but not as much. I used Q-tips to clean the fans, do those work properly?
Thank you so much ! 🎉
V helpful, thank you.
Thanks a lot👍👍
Welcome!
thanks bro
U r welcome
Is the method same for Legion Y530?
Both the laptop are really similar in appearance and parts the opening method is same you would use the same set of tools the same way but u could watch an opening video of Y530 and clean the fans the way shown in this video...
Can I use this method for lenevo legion 5
Will this work, I ordered a set of screwdrivers for this and I'm pretty prepared but I wanna know if it will actually work, I don't wanna go through all of this just for it to end up breaking or what not.
i have one query that if I take the thermal intake out just to clean will i need to reapply thermal paste before assembling everything back in place?
thank you very much!
Will doing this void my warranty?? How will the technician come to know whether i opened my machine or not?
No it does not as laptops these days are expandable (expect any Apple Product) as for anyone looking forward to add an NVME m.2 drive, SSD or want to swap there wifi networking card they have to open their laptop and there is no sticker inside that says it does as you can see in the video.
Warranty mainly covers for manufacturing defects and warranty will only become void if u break anything inside while trying to repair it....
Nice video! Can you tell me what equiptment exactly you use to open screw?
I have a screwdriver set and the one which seems to work I used...
It's a normal Philips screw as much I know
But the dimensions of screw I know which is
M2.0X8
M2.0X4
When u see it u will know....
This was insanely helpful! Thank you SO much!
Are the cooling fans on Y530 and Y540 the same? I own y540 and the fans require replacement, but I'm only able to find fans of y530 in the store near me. Can I use them instead? Because they look kinda similar. Will it work the same?
Thank you so much
One of my screws is completely stuck..
thankyou change thermalpaste video
Its done : th-cam.com/video/_QpSgBcdtWo/w-d-xo.html
This model has the same structure with y7000 correct? I'm planning to clean mine.
Hi, what is the screwdriver size you used to open it?
I have a screwdriver set and the one which seems to work I used...
It's a normal Philips screw as much I know
But the dimensions of screw I know which is
M2.0X8
M2.0X4
When u see it u will easily understand it
@@SaMiNM thx!
Nice video!
Did you know the last time the laptop was cleaned (before the video)?
depends where you live, I'd guess not longer than a month
Thank you sir
wow this helped a lot
is it ok to rotate the fan while you clean it?
Yeah u can rotate them but don't push down too hard on them.
Bro , If I use the medical latex glove would be okay? 4:43
It's OK but if you are really worried I suggest that you do this with an empty battery or do it after leaving it turned off for an hour.

I didn't cover the board with paper and now the machine in not responding!
how often should u clean the fans?
