Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB Right Fan Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide to replace or remove the right fan in your Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB. The fans in a laptop draw air over the components which allows them to stay cool and last longer.

If your fans are noisy or create a high-pitched whining noise, they may need to be replaced. You can also try blowing compressed air into the fan to remove any built-up dust that may be slowing it down.
