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!
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!
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! 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!
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 !
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 😅😅
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.
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.
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....
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?
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.
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...
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 ?
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..
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...
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....
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...
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..
Thank you sir. I did it with my 2nd hand y7000! Next will be reapplying thermal paste. Is it normal for a gaming laptop to have a thermal of 70°c? Playing ac odyssey i7 16gb ram gtx1650 custom settings room temp with electric fan for ventilation.
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...
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?
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....
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....
No, maintainance and upgrade such as cleaning fans and re application of thermal paste should not void the warranty as long as no damage incurred during and after the process. Also here you can see their are no warranty stickers on any screws that are on the fans, or casing.
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..
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.....
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 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
Nope, I wouldn't recommend using an vacuum cleaner as it is capable of creating static charge on the board. Better go with compressed air cans if u have them.

@@KaifamGaming How? Just How did you manage to get hair inside the laptop through the metal vents and through the form to get it stuck in the fans. Anyway try using tweezers without removing the fan if it doesn't work out then try it after removing the fans but in this situation you would be needing to repaste it again as the screws for the fans are below the heat-sink. So i suggest that if the hair isn't slowing down you fan or causing any problems then leave it and when the time comes for re-pasting get the fans cleaned along with it.
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?

always disconnect the battery and disconnect the fans ... every time you move the fans they act like generators and induce energy into the board

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....
