Thanks a million times for taking the time to share the guidance and advice, much appreciated! 🙂

Older Intel 310 80GB sataII mini pcie is half-size 30×30 instead of 30×51. Lenovo used it. It might plug into the 1215N WLAN slot. USB WiFi N could replace the WLAN. Anyone tried it? Could add a 2nd OS, e.g., Linux Mint, for about $35 in eBay parts.

Thanks for these really great instructions! I’ve just disassembled my wife’s eeePC 1215B, given it a good clean, reassembled it, and it works just fine. Thanks also to the author of Comment #9 re how to remove the touch pad without breaking those hooks.

With regard to removing the mother board in Step 19 (which I had to do because I wanted to clean out the fan, and the dust under it), after removing the seven (7) screws and four (4) connectors shown in the second picture, you’ll also need to remove three (3) more screws in order to remove the motherboard. There is one (1) screw under the cable going to the connector shown in the top-left corner of the picture – this also holds a lug terminating a wire, so when re-installing the motherboard make sure this lug is placed under the screw. Under the flat silver-coloured cable running to the connector shown at the bottom of the picture (just to the right of centre), there are two (2) screws holding the radio modem in place – remove these screws and unplug the modem from the motherboard. Lift the motherboard up at the right-hand edge, pulling to the right, in order to disengage all those peripheral connectors from the left-hand side of the case (as shown in the picture).

Thanks again for this great set of instructions.

Just replaced the fan. No need to touch the heatsink, everything came apart easily. There’s only some tape holding the two together.

Hi,

Great guide, thanks!
My fan is ratling so I want to replace it. Checking eBay I can see they sell both the fan separately and together with the heatsink.

Is it easier replacing both the heatsink+fan together or just the fan on its own?

Much appreciated if somebody could shed some light on this 🙂

@IML TECH… I found out the problem. I was trying to boot up the thumbdrive in UEFI mode. In the end, I simply booted it up WITHOUT UEFI and was able to install Windows 8.1 Pro successfully! Now, to try taking it apart again, and replacing the Wireless card in it… : )

THANK YOU!
One day my laptop would just not turn on although I could hear the fans running and the case lights were lit. I took it to a repair shop and they told me it seemed like a Mother board issue and I was better off replacing it. I had the laptop for little over a year and I refused to believe the motherboard would just give up like that. I searched online for answers and couldn’t find any.

This went on for almost a year until one day I came across this page and decided to try reseating it myself. It now works! I saved myself hundreds of dollars in the cost of new laptop by following this tutorial! 😀
