Great guide - thank you for putting this together. Took me a couple hours but following this I was able to successfully clean out my fans and re-apply thermal paste on my P53.

29:45 You accidentally oriented the laptop perfectly horizontal at this moment. Not sure if that was by accident or else if you have a jig aligned with your camera. I've watched this video a few times since I have a work laptop "on its last leg", and needs new fans... specifically the left fan near the GPU ( near the power cord jack). Great video !

[@uFixTek]

WOW lol i just watch that part few times my self, 110% luck 🤣 perfectly in frame and straight jajajaja get the new fan from aliexpress they are cheap and fast delivery. Should you have any questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

I was planning on using Lenovo's provided maintenance manual to investigate some fan noise. Found your video and it was much easier to follow than the tech pub. Unfortunately, fan blades are cracked. Will return for reassembly soon!

hi wondering if you would recommend buying a thinkpad p52 in 2023. i got a good deal with 128gb ram for $500

[@billlodhia5640]

What CPU did you get? I have an i7 8850H

[@alk3myst]

I love my P52 (4K, 8850H, 2x2TB NVMe, Quadro 3200, 32GB RAM). It is heavy for a daily carry, but still powerful for most any task and has a great feel.

[@ArcYT]

Been using my refurbished P73 (i7-9750H, 56GB RAM, Quadro P620, 3.5 TB M.2/SSD combined storage, Windows 10 Pro) for the past month. It's replaced my gaming desktop and I originally did not plan on owning this, but I got it for $470. This thing is amazing. The keyboard is top notch, it's super fast (2.6GHz base -- 4.5 GHz max boost), has great upgradability, the 17" screen is absolutely beautiful with great colors and pixel density for 1080p. 99 watt hour battery means all day power for browsing and data entry. Little hefty at 7.5 lbs, but I've had much heavier laptops. Fits nice in the lap. Excellent heat management, stays cool even during intensive tasks and the fans are very efficient -- super quiet. If the room you're using it in has any background noise, it'll cover up the sound of the fans. Temps stay around 60-70 C during max usage, idles at 45 - 50 C . Like many others say, the Quadro P620 isn't designed for gaming, but as long as you're not trying to play the newest titles on max settings, it'll do you really well. It's playing most of my games that I've wanted, even Robocop with some adjustments at 30 FPS @ 720p. Plays RDR2, GTA V, Halo Master Chief Collection, Team Fortress 2, Just Cause 3, Ready or Not, Gears of War Ultimate Edition, GRID Legends, Forza Horizon 5, Lego Star Wars, Mass Effect Legendary Edition all perfectly fine. Even Cyberpunk with settings adjustments is technically playable. This P73 is likely the best laptop I've ever bought. First time Thinkpad owner btw.

Спасибо, очень крутой гайд. Можете подсказать толщину термопрокладок?

[@uFixTek]

Мне очень приятно, мой друг. 🫠 Что касается вашего вопроса, толщина термопрокладок составляет 0,5 мм. Если у вас возникнут дальнейшие вопросы или просьбы в будущем, пожалуйста, не стесняйтесь спрашивать меня. Удачи🍻

[@КитаевДмитрий]

@@uFixTek Я купил 0.5 мм они оказались слишком тонкими :( (Они были очень дорогими)

[@uFixTek]

Тогда у вас есть версия с толщиной 1 мм, потому что они выпускают 1 мм. Толщина 0,5 мм предназначена для моделей из США. Вы можете сложить 0,5 мм, и всё будет прекрасно.

[@Iwitrag]

Too bad that Lenovo forces user to remove everything just to clean the heat assembly

[@uFixTek]

[@vikririyadi6312]

Hi, for my P53 thinkpad, does it have the same rules?

[@uFixTek]

🫠Regarding your question, yes it is 99% the same rule and concept my friend. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

[@vikririyadi6312]

​@@uFixTekthx u bro im finished repaste my laptop 🫡🙏

[@uFixTek]

awesome job, enjoy your newly serviced laptop. :)

[@blikblik5713]

Do you think it still worth it in 2024, if you still had that machine, you can review it, test rendering, and some gaming

[@uFixTek]

🫠Regarding your question, this machine is NOT for gaming it will perform excellent for 3d application like solid words, AutoCAD, Revit and much more, and for the price it is very well worth it. i do not have this on hand anymore but the client is very happy with performance for work. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

It was helpful for the P50, but there are differences.

[@blademan7671]

Great vid. I followed it but now laptop doesn’t power on. Light from power cable port, but nothing from power button. When reseating power button cable I saw a light for a second on power button. Maybe a new power button cable?

[@uFixTek]

Thank you for your feedback! If you'd like to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or do both! Regarding your question, I recommend you to follow these steps: Re-open and re-insert all the cables again. Ensure all cables are properly plugged in. Press and hold the power button for 5-6 seconds to initiate the initial power. Wait for 10-15 seconds. Sometimes the power light won't turn on immediately due to the motherboard performing some post processing. let me know if anything.

[@blademan7671]

I had also swapped wifi card. It powers on with stock Intel 9560NGW, but does not power on with Intel AX411NGW. Curious.

[@swierzbokij]

Disassembling this laptop is a nightmare. You have to disassemble everything to change the thermal paste...

[@uFixTek]

yes it is unfortunat on this models, no idea why they made it this way only on this models.

[@11Boxer11]

Why does the screen needs to connection?

[@uFixTek]

🫠Regarding your question, I don't understand what you're trying to ask! But if you're referring to "Is it necessary to disconnect the LCD connector?" then the answer is YES.

[@budihartono7390]

Min 24.00 you forgote to plug the connector

[@uFixTek]

🤣yes and right @28:30 i mentioned it , and right @29:00 i showed when i connected the jack. thank you for the comment my friend. cheers🍻
