Introduction
Use this guide to aid in the removal and replacement of the fan and heat sink to any HP Pavilion x360 14m-cd0005dx laptop. Replace the fan if the computer cannot stay cool during use. For further information as to whether the fan and heat sink should be replaced, look at this troubleshooting guide.
The fan and heat sink are essential parts of any laptop. After replacing the fan, an increase in computer performance can occur as components that were formerly overheating are now able to run at full capacity. If the fan and heat sink needs to be replaced but are not, further damage to the system can quickly happen. Device components may break down and melt if they are not cooled properly. It is far easier for a laptop to overheat when the fan and heat sink aren't functioning correctly.
