Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to properly replace a faulty heatsink (also known as a “bus bar”) of the Acer Chromebook CB0311-1H-C1MX. The heatsink distributes high electrical currents across the motherboard and dissipates the heat across its surface in order to cool the device. If the device is experiencing overheating, the heatsink may need to be replaced.
