Sony Vaio Laptop VPC-E series Disassembly and Fan cleaning step by step

In this video i show how to disassemble a Sony Vaio laptop.

A friend asked me to take a look at this laptop because it suffered from poor performance, getting very warm and eventually bluescreening Windows.

These symptoms are many time because of heat related issues.
Slow performance is many times caused by a CPU with insufficient cooling.
When a CPU heats up, and there is not enough cooling, the cpu will start working on a lower frequency to reduce the temperature. If the cooling is so bad, the pc will thermal shutdown to prevent furher damage.
In some cases there will be a windows bluescreen before the unit actually goes into thermal shutdown.

Whenever you have these symptoms, it never hurts to check the cooling of the unit.
Many time the fan grill is covered with dust and blocking the airflow.

So what i did in this case is clean the inside of the heatsink assembly and that fixed the issue.

you will be surprised how many dust and grime can be collected inside overtime.
