Just wanted to let you know I ordered the part and although I only paid for standard shipping it only took 3 days to receive it, the discount code from the video was still valid, and the video was 100% spot on except for one wire connecting to the monitor was a little bit different but it didn't affect installation. Completely 100% satisfied with the purchase and the chat help I received on the website to make sure I received the correct fan (there are two options depending on video model). Thank you!
Thanks a lot. I can't explain how much this tutorial was help-full for me.I replaced fan (faulty) with new one.Now my laptop working fine.You guys are the real hero.
Now this is how you do a disassembly video. Not dragging the video, zooming on the screw you are mentioning, and putting the pieces together at the end. Thank you
my fan was running super hot...thought it needed replacing. Turned out it was just full of dust. Working perfectly now. This video was super easy to follow...thanks so much!
Thanks for the clear instructions! I cleaned my laptop heatsink and replace the thermal paste with MX-4. Temp Idle 60C -> 54C and Temp Max Load 100C -> 79C. And the laptop case no longer burn to the touch.
excellent video, on my second 'trip' inside to clean and install new base and fan. however, where you apply thermal paste doesn't look like my n5110, what are you applying thermal paste to? a different heatsink option?
Great video, thanks! Before i start, id like to where exactly should i apply the thermal paste? Will it be obvious after removing the heat sink where it used to be? Or can you give me quick guide for that pls? Love your vids!
I disassembled my laptop by following your guide word to word however the LCD will not display anything now when switched on - however everything is working when laptop linked to other screen via HDMI cable. what do you think it could be and how can I resolve this?
Shouldn't we replace the thermal pad on the intel ich ? And my biggest question is can u use thermal pad+paste? Thre r so many videos with lots of diff. views. Could use all the help I cld get cz I have an overheating prob. and no parts have been replaced in my n5110 since 2011. Thnkz
hello, i also disassembled my laptop by following this video step by step but when i turned it on again, the LCD did not display anything but it worked when i connected it with my TV through HDMI. I ran the BIST test on it and it shows the color, but then when it restart, it display the Dell Logo for 1 second then it turned black again. One note is that it sometimes it displayed, but for 1 sec, and the screen turned black again, i tried to reconnect the LCD cable several times, but it is still the same..is the problem in my LCD or it is the video chip?
Hi! What tools do I need to open it up? I'm looking for a tool set that will do the whole job. Also, I spilled water on my keyboard and it seems to have clogged one of the keys, which makes my laptop beep on startup, anyway to fix this?
There's 2 fan / heat sinks on your website - 1/Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) Fan and CPU Heatsink Assembly for Discrete Graphics - J1VPC 2/Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) Fan and CPU Heatsink Assembly for Intel Video - RF2M7 what is the difference? I think I need to replace my fan which has gotten very loud and annoying.
One is for Discrete graphics and one is for Intel graphics. That laptop had 2 different motherboard options. You should match you part number before ordering.
I have an issue now , the fan is touching something and is squeaking while running, I tried few times but it still wont stop squeaking when running quickly, i think the metal of the heatsink is bent , any ideas if this will damage my laptop or I could leave it as is ?
Hi I think I deattached something from my motherboard. Its a rectangular green color piece,size of the dell logo written below the screen. It has a white little socket and a big round hole size of the screw mount where the LCD panel is screwed in. Any idea where it has broken off from? I wish I could attach a pic.
Yeah, its an attachment that keeps the motherboard in place, it has to be fitted near the right speaker where the motherboard meets it. No issues even if it isn't there. :)
I need to replace a motherboard. It is for the Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) motherboard. I was wondering since i`m good with desktops and not laptops what kind of thermal grease and thermal pads should i use. Ive never had to replace thermal pads before.
Arctic Silver is a good thermal paste. You will probably have to go to an electronics store for the thermal pads. Just use the same type that is existing. The brand isn't that important.
Praveen Kumar Cleaning the fan and heatsink of dust and debris, and applying new heatsink compound should allow for better cooling. Using a cooling pad will help lower the temperatures also.
My laptop has been making awful grinding noises only when the fan starts up. I had taken it to a place and told them that 2 screws had fallen out so would need to be located where theyr missing and replaced, and that i was pretty sure i needed a new fan. They fixed my usb ports that didnt work (another issue i had) but said they found no missing screws (bs cus they didnt come from nowhere) and said the fan was fine (also bs cus it grinds as soon as i hit the F****** power button). Unfortunately this took them almost 5 weeks and i didnt wanna go without it for another month so i just left that along with what they charged me. I got so duped by that "repair" place. So i decided i will just DIY it but I am scared of using thermal paste and pads... If anyone would be so kind as to offer me a little instruction on whats involved and if its hard etc, I would gladly just buy the parts of this link and do it myself.
+Auron710 This laptop isn't necessarily difficult to work on, just intimidating. The thermal pads, in most cases, will not be fully remove and can be reused if they are not damaged. The thermal paste is simple, remove old thermal paste on the heatsink and the motherboard with alcohol, but take note on which chips on the motherboard the thermal is on. After the fan is repaired or replaced, get a trusted brand of thermal paste, like Arctic Silver, and apply a small amount (less than the size of a small pea) to each of the chips that you cleaned off previously. Replace the heatsink, tightening down the screws in the order listed on the heatsink and you should be all set. Here is a written manual also. It has all the screw locations listed so you might be able find where the screws fell out. blog.parts-people.com/2013/10/16/dell-inspiron-15r-n5110-heatsink-fan-removal-and-installation/
+Parts-People.Com, Inc thanks for ur reply, After watching the video for probably a thrid time i am confident i can replace the fan myself (i will have my friend who majored in programming and built his own pc with me to make sure i dont mess up lol) but one think im not sure of is the mention of thermal pads, i understand what the thermal paste is and have looked up application videos with the pea method u mentioned, do i also need to buy thermal pads or something? (sorry for really dumb questions ive literally never built a pc or opened a laptop)
+Auron710 It would be smart to replace the thermal pads at the same time as everything else but it's not always necessary. If you do, they are called thermal silicone pads. They usually come in a larger piece that you cut to size, something like 100mm x 100mm x 5mm.
Parts-People.Com, Inc thanks so much, ive since also consulted a knowledgeable friend and will order my fan etc this week. great response and great video thanks =)

where is the cooling fan on dell inspiron n5110 t the bottom or side

非常に解りやすい動画です。参考にさせていただきます。ありがとう♪
It is a very easy-to-understand movie. I am going to use it as an example. Thank you ♪
Great video, thanks!

Will it be obvious after removing the heat sink where it used to be? Or can you give me quick guide for that pls?
Love your vids!
Unfortunately I do not have a video showing how to apply the thermal paste. It's simple, apply an mount about the size of a pea to the CPU and GPU.
If only this tutorial was out when i was dissembling my laptop :D
Thank you. Best tutorial ever.
Hello can you mention what kind of thermal pasta i must us to do a regualr cleaning step by step after your tutorial ?
Typically we use Arctic Silver thermal paste.
I disassembled my laptop by following your guide word to word however the LCD will not display anything now when switched on - however everything is working when laptop linked to other screen via HDMI cable.
what do you think it could be and how can I resolve this?
Check and make sure the LCD cable is connected to the motherboard and didn't come unplugged. It's most likely just a loose cable.
It definitely is, disassembled it again to check. Is there any other thing it could be?
@@shahrukhalikhan3570 it's either your ram or unplugged cables(make sure they are locked in place) or you broke something
The black foam like substance on the metal part at the exhaust of the Fan was partially lost or might have evaporated ! Is that an important part ?
I first thought they are some dust particles. 🤦
@@lifeinjammu That is dust buddy
Shouldn't we replace the thermal pad on the intel ich ?
And my biggest question is can u use thermal pad+paste? Thre r so many videos with lots of diff. views. Could use all the help I cld get cz I have an overheating prob. and no parts have been replaced in my n5110 since 2011.
Thnkz
If you remove your heatsink and find none, I would suggest adding some.
Keep making more of these

Kha Tran same problem
Kha Tran how u fix it
Is that 2mm Phillips screwdriver? Wanted to disassemble it, but will have to buy a mini screwdriver first.
Can you please tell us what thermal paste / thermal pad to use on the CPU and the GPU accordingly for this specific laptop? thanks..
Thanks for the second time.
Hi! What tools do I need to open it up? I'm looking for a tool set that will do the whole job. Also, I spilled water on my keyboard and it seems to have clogged one of the keys, which makes my laptop beep on startup, anyway to fix this?
There's 2 fan / heat sinks on your website -
1/Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) Fan and CPU Heatsink Assembly for Discrete Graphics - J1VPC

One is for Discrete graphics and one is for Intel graphics. That laptop had 2 different motherboard options. You should match you part number before ordering.
thanks, my heat sink screws are soo tight it took me ages to get off..
bad screw drivers..
I have an issue now , the fan is touching something and is squeaking while running, I tried few times but it still wont stop squeaking when running quickly, i think the metal of the heatsink is bent , any ideas if this will damage my laptop or I could leave it as is ?
One of the screws on my motherboard was stripped. How do you suggest I go about removing it?
By using an electric screwdriver or drill and a lot of downward pressure. That's how I usually take care of stripped screws.
Are motherboards that strong to take a drill? Should I stop after I break the head off or try to see if I can get the whole thing off?

Yeah, its an attachment that keeps the motherboard in place, it has to be fitted near the right speaker where the motherboard meets it. No issues even if it isn't there. :)
Nice job! Thank you!
Is it possible to add one more fan and a vent to the laptop cause mine is only heating at the bottom left part
Mathew Jacob No, it only has room for one fan. You could try putting the laptop on a cooling pad, that might help.

cool thanks
All fixed!! Thank you!!! :):):):)
awesome tutorial! thanks!!
Didn't get a good look but xan the CPU be upgraded?
If I only want to clean my fan, do I have to apply thermal paste?
If you don't remove the heatsink from the motherboard, you will not have to reapply thermal compound.
It's necessary remove it for cleaning?
My laptop's idle temperature is 55°c - 65°c
Will arctic silver 5 thermal compound help me out to decrease the temperature of my dell n5110
Praveen Kumar Cleaning the fan and heatsink of dust and debris, and applying new heatsink compound should allow for better cooling. Using a cooling pad will help lower the temperatures also.
Parts-People.Com, Inc this helped me a lot
thx this help me a lot but now for some reason the keyboard not work
Make sure the keyboard cable is plugged in all the way. A loose cable will keep the keyboard from working.
What height Thermal Heatsink Pad?
1mm or 0.5mm thermal pad for cpu coil
