Introdução

This guide will walk you through the process of accessing, removing and replacing the Cooling Fan for a Compaq Presario V5303NR. The process of accessing the fan will need to be done if the user is thoroughly cleaning the cooling fan. Replacement, meanwhile, needs to be done if the fan is damaged or otherwise rendered inoperable.

The fan in the V5303NR is much less accessable than the fans in most modern laptops, making this process relatively difficult to do and with a slight risk of further damaging the components if improperly done.

Use the metal spudger to pry open the two metal latches affixing the fan cover to the laptop.
Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 4mm #00 screw affixing the fan cover to the laptop.
A plastic spudger has a decreased risk of damaging the computer and its components, so it would normally be preferred over the metal. However, due to the limited amount of space between the latch and the fan's casing, the plastic one may not fit, as was the case in the photo above.
