Replacing the fan of Asus Eee 1005HA

I guess not many people were interested in this thing, it's an aged net book running Windows XP. I had replaced its hard disk a few years ago, and also its keyboard, the battery pack was replaced, too. In case you're still interested, here we go.

First of all, get a new fan from taobao at 15 RMB, it contains the heat sink for the CPU and chipset:


Taking away the keyboard is relatively easy, and you can see the fan now, but then it could not be replaced yet since the CPU and chipset is on the other side, unluckily.


So you have to remove this board from the case...

 

You finally see the whole fan/heat sink assembly:

 

Take away and replace, done!


Finally, a video to tell you how to disassemble completely: youtube
