Wonderful!! :)

Since a couple of weeks, my laptop is heating up to 95 degrees even when noting much is going on. I wanted to have it fixed, but I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend to fix a laptop that (in apparence) works just fine. But I know it's not smart, and it keeps stressing me out.

With the step-by-step explanations and photos, it doesn't look hard at all to do it by myself... and the replacement part is like<30-50$ on Dell's website! Hallelujia!!

Thanks a lot!!

 

*The only thing that would be nice to add is the model name/number of the heatsink or fan that I need to use to make the replacement (the heatsink isn't mentioned in the parts that you need).
