hey, nice video.

i have a question, is the graphic card (the one up by the fan) stick into a slot (the white thing to the right)?

[busterbdragon]

the graphics card is just right above the fan

the fan is just where the copper tubes come and where hot air gets pushed out

[OutcastersTR]

So thats the plastics that is covering the air vent. Is it easy to remove. Great video btw

[busterbdragon]

its not so easy to remove because its like super glued down so it takes a while to remove it

[Psyfer9983]

DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC THAT IS COVERING THE SO CALLED FAN VENT. It is there to restrict the fan from pulling all the air from just that one spot. It allows air to be pulled from all the vents (hard drive, TV tuner if you have it, RAM, etc...) on the bottom of the laptop including the one above the fan that is covered. As I said, it just restrict it from pulling all the air from just one spot so all the devices can be vented.

I should also say that when I opened the laptop back when the fan still sort of worked, I could manually spin the fan blades and they moved pretty easily. Now that it doesn't work, when I try to manually spin the blades, they do spin, but nowhere near as easily as they did before. It's as if something is in there binding it up or something yet it looks perfectly clean.

What I want to know is, how the hell do I get at the fan to try and see what's wrong with it? It seems to be attached in there firmly in some way that I can't figure out. About an hour ago, I had the laptop in pieces, with the keyboard pulled out and screws lying everywhere but I still couldn't get at the fan to even see what's wrong. The plug where it attaches to the motherboard seems fine, too. I don't want to spend $80 to send it in and have it fixed.

I've had mine for almost two years now but several month ago, my fan died. For a few days it started making a ton of noise and it sounded like it was struggling to keep spinning. Then it finally just stopped completely. Every so often on rare occasions it kicks back on briefly. To get by, I took a fan from an old desktop computer I had and connected the wires to a spare usb cable I had. The fan is external, obviously, but I aim it at the air vent. This seems to work fine most of the time.

After opening the laptop n cleaning the heatsink i notice theres a vibration coming from the fan. I cant quite find a lock or a screw attatching it, just that ducktape asus put in there.

Any suggestions? d b more than helpful

@Merda2U Actually nothing in this laptop is cooled directly by the fan. It is cooled through the heatsinks which are cooled by the fan. By taking off that cover the only thing that wont be cooled is the ram which is a non issue. Either way you won't accomplish anything by taking off the black plastic cover anyway because there is plastic in the way after that.

@fm2h3 Take the back cover off and you will see the second drive bay (its shown in this video) and put a new hard drive in the bay. There is no hard drive caddy included so you will either have to buy one or do what I did and make your own. A 320GB 7200 Rpm drive will cost about 100 bucks.

@axerlzx You shouldn't try and replace it if thats what your thinking. Sure it may work but the added heat is not what this laptop's cooling system was designed to handle.
