Introduction
If your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2nd Gen) randomly shuts off after getting hot, use this guide to replace the fan.
The fan cools down the computer and prevents the computer from overheating.
Before using this guide, check to make sure that nothing is covering the fan. The blocked fan may be the reason the computer is overheating. Also, use a dust removal spray to carefully clean out the vent. The cause of overheating may be the dust blocking the computer’s air flow. Cleaning the vent can prevent the need of replacing the fan.
Before you begin, make sure your computer is off.
