Folks, check that your new fan has the red, yellow and black wires going to the connector in the same order as the original. I did this twice without success - both replacement fans had the yellow/black wires reversed from the original. The result was a fan that would spin-up, stop, spin-up, stop... If your replacement wires are wrong, use a needle to push the plastic tabs holding the wires in place back a bit and swap them so they match the original fan wires. Couldn't have gotten through the process at all without his helpful video!

Do you really have to remove evreything just to replace the fan

This is by far the best how-to video I've ever come across. Who knew you'd have to take out EVERYTHING in your laptop to get to the fan?

That was the WWAN card and the laptop we were using didn't have it installed originally so we put one in just to make the video. I guess when he we were editing the video we didn't catch that mistake. The video is still correct and shows all the steps, and most people don't have a WWAN card anyway. Best of luck, I hope this helps with your repair.

I needed to buy thermal paste for this. This was great. My fan went a few months after we broke a hinge, and I replaced both at the same time under the hood. Don't forget to record CMOS settings you might have customized, so they can be reentered when you boot up for the first time after you've pulled the CMOS battery.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!! You really helped me out here, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the video! My friend's Dell Latitude D630 was getting really overheated easily and the overheating caused the CPU to go into a low power state which made it slow as molasses. Thanks to this video I was able to disassemble her laptop, vacuum out the giant dust bunnies in and around the fan, and put it back together. Now the fan works perfectly and cools her laptop to the right temperature.

Thank You a lot. It worked for me. The old fan was a pain, very loud after cleaning...Now it's fine with the new one.

Thank you for posting this video! It took me about an hour and half to complete. Your instructions were very thorough and much appreciated.

You are correct about the thermal paste. This was one of the first videos we made and some how we forgot that step.

Ohh... it's too difficult . . . . Can't we remove the fan without removing lots of things you removed before.?

Thanks for this video. I'd like to say I would have managed because I've done things like this so many times. My process though no matter if it's the car, the computer, the fridge.... I go watch someone else do it real quick then go do it just to see if they run into anything. When I realized you were going all the way down to the part and all the way back up I just rolled with you and it really made it a breeze and now I have more time to go play COD. Seriously though, great video!

Great Video...To clean the fan,are you saying that i need to take the whole thing apart.Could Dell not make it any harder..

Отличное и подробное видео-описание! Люблю, когда автора делают такие полезные вещи!

Fantastic. Worked through all of your steps and worked it like a charm. Your video also serves its ad purpose - my new cooling fan is from you guys.

Perfect instructions for someone like myself no experience thank you for posting

Worked perfect. Don't forget the Thermal paste for the processor. Great Video!

Thank you so much! Though this was very difficult and quite scary to do, your video helped me out tremendously. Thanks.

ok your video is giving me the confidence to try this on my own. thank you so much. this is going to save me some money.

That is an awesome instructive video and I was able to follow on my 630C thanks so much.

Great video. Thank you. Really helped me.

Awesome video man....the pace at which u performed the whole thing shows how much proficient u r in this....really COOL video...n very useful for D630 users like me!! I mean it...Thanks for the great video!! :)

Great instructions

Thx worked great..

valla es desarmarla por completo pero muy buena explicacion

If you want to clean it thoroughly, yes. Otherwise you can just blow air into the exhaust vents which helps but over time you're just pushing dust into the laptop and that can cause more problems.

me gusto muchas gracias

Do I have to do everything if I just want to clean the fan?

Hi.Can You tell in few words what can cause - fan working normally and stopped working after dissasembly.Checked all sables,plugs etc... Laptop switch off itself after start (1-2s) without fan spinning.I know fan is ok as it started to work again after it was not working...and now not working again.

Nice video! I like it! There is small amount of authors who make such detailed instructions in KZread!

amazingnessnessness!

Very good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@hersheyboi44 I'm glad we could help!

please not disconnect the display plase

I did it, everything work fine without lcd. I've got blank screen. External monitor works OK, the only time when lcd works is diagnostic test. after all tests lcd still is blank... any ideas?

do you keep the old fan ?

Try reseating the memory sticks.

very smart site

Would it be time/effort/money better spent to just replace the fan with a new one instead of cleaning the old one? I'm guessing yes, but I am most curious of your answer/advice. Thanks. Mine is having some good 'ole crunchy sounds at start up occasionally, but not consistently. $4 on the bay for a new one. no worries. Just a time consuming nuisance to get to I see. Oh WELL. Need to do it regardless. crap...

First class! Thank you. Old fan found to be almost seized. If I had to do it again though I would not disconnect the wireless cards as the connectors are very tricky! The cards could dangle off the coax leads. Not even sure the motherboard needs to come out. I think you could probably slide the fan from under the board.

+minshum Mine was also seized, with a push it started again, how to clean it?

Unfortunately yes. The fan is attached to the bottom base so the motherboard has to be removed.

was going to 'quickly' clean fan!! ridiculous amount of work to get to a moving part likely to fail!! Hope dell have got it better on new models!!!

Lol you have got to be kidding right, you have nearly taken the whole thing apart !!!!

Sir apka pas dell latitude d630 ma motherboard ha asa price

i did disamble de laptop but on the way back the display isnt working no more, do u have a clue what is it?

If you have the time and the money, I would just replace it for ease of mind. If the fan is making noises, that is usually an indicator that it is going to fail soon.

Thank you so much now my laptop display is broken!

There are FIVE screws holding the motherboard in place. SHEESH! ;-) Really, though, thanks for a great video! It made the job a snap!

It's probably a loose connection somewhere. Go through it again and reseat all of the connections.

Dam is this how to take all apart? Hell to a tower unit. I just pressure aired mine and not sure if it works, no warnings?

GOT MINE BACK TOGETHER AND IT BOOTS UP THEN SAYS "TIME OF DAY CLOCK STOPPED" ANY HELP PLZ

I THINK THAT MIGHT BE WHAT HAPPEN TO ME ALL MINE SAYS IS THIS ...."TIME OF DAY CLOCK STOPPED" ANY HELP PLZ

After removing the heat sink, Why does the guy continue to take off ram( memory ) also CPU and a bunch of other parts taken off. Do they really need to take all that off to remove/replace the fan? He even removed the Wlan and modem cable. WHY?

No it's not necessary to remove the CPU, WIFI card, or memory. This was one our first videos and I believe it was made from a motherboard removal video. It was a learning experience for us. Our videos now are much better.

I love you.

Yeah, sorry about that. I don't think I mentioned that in this video. It was one of my earliest videos. But yes, you would need to replace the cooling paste.

Ok thank you very much. :D

I think it's a memory error. Try re-seating the memory.

I also have a slight problem now and was wondering if anyone else had come accross it... when powering up the laptop the numlock / scroll lock lights come on, the capslock blinks and nothing happens with the screen. then the laptop shuts down again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You will need to get it diagnosed. It could be a bad screen, inverter, or GPU/motherboard.

oliver infante Hace 1 segundo please not disconnect the display plase

Laptops aren't fun to repair. Manufacturers layer parts very densely to get the laptops to be as small as they are. In this case, the fan got buried under just about everything else. I've had to do the same thing to other laptops (well, netbooks) just to add a stick of RAM. Having said that, I was thinking the same thing as you while watching this video. Now to start the jigsaw puzzle...

There are several people like me that have followed these steps and now the display doesn't work. My laptop turns on, no display, and then turns off. Please reply.

Ok I figured it out. I have 2 2gb DIMM RAMS installed. I didn't realize that I had switched their placements. Open your laptop and switch your ram cards. Worked for me.

That is the good one w/ INTEL graphics chip,not POS nVidia(these are all dead now...).

Think I'll leave this to an expert!!, don't want to have similar problems to "Flying Otaku" below!!!!!

Great video but God damn this laptop was very poorly planned. I stopped halfway through as I did not want I destroy the laptop. I guess it's death will be due to a little dust. It still kinda runs though

This is ridiculous. I will use the computer for target practice before I go to this much work to change a damn fan.

+Minhaj-Ul-Haq The motherboard has to be removed to get to the fan, so almost all of the steps have to be done. I don't think you have to remove the heatsink, memory, or wireless cards but I'm not 100% sure.
