Introduction
The Asus Zenbook UX303L is a 13.3-inch multi-touch notebook with an Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB RAM. On average, this notebook has stability and cool surface temperatures under a high load.
This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to replace the cooling fan of the Zenbook.
The purpose of the cooling fan is to circulate cool air throughout the device and prevent it from overheating, which will reduce hardware failure.
If your Zenbook is having problems such as performance lag, overheating, and shutting down this would be indicative that your fan may need to be replaced.
Make sure to remove or unplug the device to ensure the Zenbook doesn't power on while disassembled. This can also prevent inadvertently shorting components and causing further damages.
