Introdução

This guide outlines how to replace the fans in the Razer Blade Stealth 2017. The fans keep the laptop cool and prevent the other components from overheating. A fan replacement may be necessary if the fans are damaged, not turning on, or not functioning optimally. If the fans are making abnormally loud sounds when running, they may need to be replaced. Some tools are required for this replacement.

    Do you have to remove the battery before swapping the wifi card? Is disconnecting the power not enough?

    Hi Charles,

    If you’re swapping the Wi-Fi card, you don’t need to remove the battery. Disconnecting it will suffice.

    Are two of these screws shorter than the other four? And if so, where do the two shorter screws go?

    Looks like the two shorter screws go where the trackpad is!

    • Remove any tape attached to the battery.

    • Use the plastic spudger to pry out the battery.

    After removing the 6 screws securing the battery, mine does not come out easily. There is resistance, and I don't wanna forcefully pull it out. Is it supposed to be easy to pick up and take out or is there some sort of tape holding it down from the bottom?

What is the part number for the black fan? I'm trying to buy a replacement but I can't find any :(

Identical ones, can be switched, screws have differences in depth.

Once they start to make noise, there's nothing to salvage...no cleaning or lubrification will fix it, they have high rpm and very thin.

This system thermal is quite regular in normal temps/operations but it leaps temps very high in system demanding, the thin thermal dissipation equipped cant dissipate enough in high temps, the 2nd fan that has a delay in start, is not really helping in the poor thermal dissipation system.
