Introduction

This guide will walk you through removing the Fan Assembly on an Aorus x7 v2. Fan function is vital for computer performance, as laptops work best with proper ventilation. If the cooling system fails, the laptop may quit working or damage other important components.

Before starting this repair, power off your device and unplug from your charger. It is also recommended that the battery be disconnected and removed.

    • Flip the laptop over.

    • Unscrew the 12 screws holding on the bottom cover.

    • Take off the bottom cover.

    • Remove the 12 screws from the heat sink.

    I recommend having the heat sink screws circled in orange in both pictures.

    • Remove the heat sinks one by one.

    Instead of two pictures of removing heat sinks, one with both in place, and one with one removed and the other still in place.

    • Unscrew the six screws from the right fan.

    • Unscrew the six screws from the left fan.

    • Locate the connection plug for the fan to the motherboard and disconnect the left fan connector.

    I would recommend moving the last picture and bullet to step 4.

    • Disconnect the right fan connector.

    • Carefully lift up the left and right fans.

    • Set the fans to the side before installing new fans.

    I would suggest adding at least one step after this one for installing the new fans.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order using new left and right fans.
