While it took us much longer than 7-9 minutes, the guide was fantastic and we were able to fix our computer. Thank you!
Took me way longer than 7-9 minutes and would’ve been cool if that heat paste was mentioned in the ‘Tools’ or ‘Parts’ sections at the top. Granted I probably should’ve read the guide completely before beginning, I got all the way to the end and realized I didn’t have the paste and couldn’t finish the job. I also would’ve liked to see something about removing the black part from the fan or actually putting the new fan in. Overall, the guide was very helpful and easy to follow and for that, I do thank you.
