Both models are very similar.
Let me tell you right away, this notebooks tend to overheat because the heatsink easily gets clogged with dust and lint. Take a look at the step 4, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Does you laptop shuts down without any warning in the middle of doing something? The fan runs full speed all the time? If yes, then check the heatsing. Most likely it’s clogged and your laptop overheats. You can easily fix this problem by removing and cleaning the heatsink.
Unfortunately, the cooling fan is these models is buried deep inside the case. If the fan went bad, you’ll have to take the whole thing apart. The fan is shown on the step 22.
Fell free to submit any comments and questions related to these models. If I know the answer, I’ll try to help you.
