Sony Vaio VPCZ2 CPU Heatsink Fan Assembly Replacement
Giriş
1. adıma gitThis dissasembly guide was made in the process of changing out a faulty fan unit. To access this fan the motherboard needs to be removed, as well as most other parts of the laptop. If you need to repair or replace the keyboard, this guide should get you most of the way there.
I had initially changed the fan out, but not put the thermal paste on the CPU correctly. This resulted in high fan speeds, as the laptop was compensating for the poor heat dispersion.
Before you start this project, I would suggest reading this whole guide through. Understanding what things look like on the inside will make it much easier to take the laptop apart.

This laptop had been recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This process was fairly straightforward, and the laptop works perfectly now. A key element of this was finding and installing the various drivers to suit.
-
In particular, the Intel RAID driver needs to be downloaded from the Intel website, and also the fingerprint drivers need to be found and installed.

Pry the housing apart using something maliable (I used a bamboo stick)
-
Start at the front edge on the side with the VGA port & fan hole
-
The VGA port is not fixed to the chassis, and can be lifted up to assist with removing the case
-
I have shown the VGA port in more detail later in this guide

Note that screws are marked with an arrow. This is useful when reassembling the laptop, as some screws are not entirely obvious.
-
On the right is the fan & heatsink
-
The triangle bracket holds in the CPU (accessed from the under side of the motherboard)
-
The SSD is to the left of the motherboard
-
Above the SSD is the optical board. This handles the signal for the external dock (PMD), and is responsible for transfering data fast enough to power an external GPU.

-
On the back edge there are 4 plugs going into the back of the motherboard.
-
I'm not 100% sure, but from the top of my head these are (left to right); speakers (red/black & black/white), VGA (ribbon), and main (flat plug type)
-
There is also a power connector plug on the far side (red/white)
-
-
-
The red/white and black/white plugs are obvious to pull out
-
The VGA cable has a flat plastic tab - pull on this tab to remove/install
-
The red/white power cables are also obvious
-
To remove the main plug, push it straight down towards the keyboard. This is easier to do once the motherboard is free, so I would suggest leaving it in place for now.

-
The heatsink and fan and connected directly to the motherboard by 3 screws. These screws are attached to the triangle bracket, and are accessible from the under side of the motherboard.
-
This means that the entire motherboard needs to be disconnected to remove the CPU, fan, and heatsink.
