First check again the WiFi antenna cables that they are out of the way!!!

Carefully and slowly lift up the Heatsink starting form right side (if you see exactly whats on the picture)!!

Remove the old thermal paste carefully with aceton and a tissue. If you dont have aceton, you can use just a tissue.

Be careful apply only so many which is necessary!!! In my opinion always check your new paste for conductivity and choose the ones with no eletrical conductivity because if you accidentaly spary on the motherboard you are still safe!!!!

If the paste on the parts on the second picture are still elastic you dont need to replace them

Remove the screws

If its unplugged now you can remove the old Fan

If your new fan has a duck tape on its one side remove it

From the old fan you can find a sticky foam, remove it and place it on the new fan exactly the same way!!!

Apply the 3 screws

Before you plug it in REMEMBER the way it was under the wifi card

use the strong ducktape to fix in its place

after you placed the cables under the ducktape you can plug the fan in

Carefully place the heatsink in its place

Scew it done starting from 1 and the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Once you have the heatsink in its place drive the cables over the heatsink but under the duck tap (white and black cable)

Put the WiFi card in its place

Scew it down

And plug back the cables

Reapply the duck which was on the wifi card!!! Its really important if you have or you want to have a M.2 ssd

Now you are finished

Just put back the cover and screw it down with screws !!!! Watch out they are not the same length!!!
