Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The CPU fan supports the HP Z2 Mini G3 (Model No. 1LE81UP#ABA) as a cooling mechanism. In case of malfunction or damage, this guide can direct end users to steps required to replace this cooling fan.
Before starting this replacement, check out our troubleshooting guide. The issue with your device may not require a replacement.
Be sure that the power is off and the A/C power cord has been disconnected before working on interior components. Removing hardware while the power is on could damage the device.
Components inside the device are also subject to static damage, so try and work on a hard surface to reduce this risk.
