Asus X551CA Heat Sink Replacement

15 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

Overheating problems when under heavier loads.

My Fix

It went pretty smoothly. The only struggle came when I was separating the keyboard and monitor/base from each other. It required a lot more force than I had expected.

My Advice

When separating the keyboard and monitor/base, definitely attempt using less force and tools (as I did for forty minutes), but if it still doesn't separate by then, definitely use a bit more force while also being careful.
