@ItsBinhRepaired nice. Cutting those plastic locks is a pain. My y540 gpu fan rpm is lowered without any noise. Do you think it will run faster after oiling like you did? Or it has completed its life?

Nice info about showing how to open the fan's propeller. One of the fans on my y530 was rubbing and making a lot of noise+vibration. I couldn't see how to open the cover of propeller (i wanted to lube inside). some propeller blades were disoriented and rubbing. I tried to fix and clean from the top. some were broken but still noisy. I plugged off the fan and ordered a new one. I replaced it today, keeping the old one. The propellers are made of a very lousy plastic. If something happens to these fans again, next time I'll cut and tape the retainers around the edges to clean them like you. but maybe there is a better way to take off the propeller without cutting the cover holders. I also reapplied thermal paste while the laptop was take apart. Now it runs quieter and cooler. I will ask something, I panicked when I saw that the left part of the battery was a little swollen, but so is your battery too. Is this its normal state? should we be worried?
Shouldn't be swollen, but you can use it like that. It shouldn't blow up, but will inflate more over time. Don't leave it plugged in when not being used
@@ItsBinhRepaired 48:00 the left side of YOUR/customer's laptop's battery is also looking SAME amount SWOLLEN or maybe this looking is normal. The battary lasts like 1.5 hour on heavy task which is normal. if this isn't its normal look and it swells up more in the future just in case I take the battery out. From now on being careful and turn the laptop completely power off at night. I bought it in 2018, The internal keyboard doesn't work because various liquids have been spilled on the keyboard. now planning to buy legion 7 (rtx3070 2k display with 500nits brightness) this year and I hope to use it for at least 5 years.

@0:41 Dinner is ready.. I'm coming back to this later tonight. My current issue with my Y540, Without Throttlestop® my CPU Cores skyrocket to 94°C and above! This is after a repaste using the rice bean method via Arctic® MX-6 (it's a fairly new product, thought I'd give it a shot - turns out that I shouldn't have) Now I've got a Box of Noctua® NT-H1 (Spatula + Wipes Edition) I've heard pleasant things about it, seeing as it's been around and is still talked about today. One day I'd like to start my own TH-cam channel, 😅😢
you're right.. I'll need to be totally comfortable before I start uploading and doing the whole thing . But yes regarding the thermals of my Y540, I noticed when I dont have the cooling pad on one of my fans (on the CPU side) doesn't run at all! 😑 & when I do turn on the cooling pad it blows hot 🥵 dang! LOL I'm gonna be looking for a new fan set now..
@@ItsBinhRepaired ah yes.. My real issue was a bent heatsink, I used to torque the screws aggressively, but I straightened it out this time to ensure it's flat and flush (hopefully) when I screw it. Before: Resides at 80-101 degrees.. 20+ degree difference between cores w/ one of the fans being N/A due to the bent heatsink. Via RivaTuner, shows constant power limit while gaming. After: Resides at 60-75 degrees.. 10 degree difference with fan flow on both sides of laptop! Via RivaTuner, shows no limits while gaming. This actually reminds me of when I first got the laptop. I'm definitely gonna keep this system around.

i got the same model and my gpu fan just started growling a few weeks ago and i was wondering if i could do what you just did right here instead of buying a new fan set (only found both fans as a set not separately sold). i was wondering if you could give us an update on how well it is now after a few days of the repair? is it still noisy? did it fall apart? any info would be appreciated as I'm definitely doing it this weekend!!
Just like what I'm looking for! But I have a problem with the screw that secures the heat sinc is not like yours. My scews are like noremal screws but they also have a spring on it too. Everytime I tried to screw it off it just have a cracking sounds (That's scares me that I might just broke smt lmao) and the screws just wouldn't came off. So then I just stop right there and clean my laptop instead 😔. But my laptop is still fine though.
The click means the screw is out. You have to do that on all of them. The paste usually makes it hard to remove. It helped to twist the heatsink instead of pulling it straight up.
Sorry if seems noobie question, but would i have to purchase a new window system if i replace the hard drive? I want to buy a sata ssd to reolace the hard drive because it's failing but not sure what to do. Thanks so much btw, just cleaned out a little bit of the fan (didn't take off the heat sink because the screw it stuck and i dun want to break anything)
Hello, i must change the motherboard on my y530 (dead), so i wanted to ask, can i use an y540 motherboard instead? So i can upgrade cpu and gpu And if so, my old components should work still? (Mostly ram but m2 and HDD) Thanks
CAUTION! Removing blades/propeller from the fan @18:00, i dont recommend doing that if your fan is working. I broke my y540 cpu fan propeller trying to do this technique. If your cpu/gpu fan is working then better brush it to clean dust and keep using it till it stops working. If you try to do remove propeller, pretty high chances you will break propellers like i did as it is are very very delicate. now i have to buy new one.
@@ItsBinhRepairedi watched your video 3 time before doing that, pretty sure i pushed evenly but broke the propeller anyway. they are very delicate. btw, i noticed later that i was doing it on cpu fan, while you were on GPU fan, may be its different for both ? however not blaming you, as i said, if its working n just making noise then better clean it without opening fan, even if open, dont try to get propeller out, clearning with brush will be enough.
Does Y530 and Y540 have same cooling fan size? I own Y540-15IRH and the fans require replacement but I'm only able to find cooling fans of legion Y530 in the store near me. Can I use them instead? Will it work the same?
Hey, my battery keeps failing, i opened my laptop to replace my thermal paste and now when i unplug my pc after afew minutes my battery goes to 0 and the laptop stops. Any idea why this happens? The battery was working perfectly before. The battery charges normally, but when i unplug, it goes to 0 after a few minutes.
Is it okay to use a tooth brush to clean the insides of my laptop? I don't have any other tools, so I was wondering if any type of finesse was involved x3
Whenever i start playing a game the middle part of my computer gets really hot with the fans working full power. Would that be because of the thermal paste?
Hey there im really struggling with the same pc and i need your advice if there is any other consistent way to talk to you i would very much appreciate it thank you

Don't put paste on that. There's nothing to pull the heat away. Thermal paste is to fill micro gaps between the chip and the heatsink. If you put it there, it'll leak all over the motherboard and damage it.
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?
