How hard is it to replace the cooling pad?

it take time to do it in regards to cleaning it maybe under 15 minutes total of work aside from cleaning it. I have yet to replace mine but it should take the same amount of time.

I've actually done this swap already, since the stock fan on my 212 ate it. As long as you harvest the old mounting hardware, you're in good shape, just be sure to mount it with the same airflow direction as original.

The pad is the inside of control device. If you take it apart it should fit inside the new one.

You must remove the fan assy and the battery and battery tray or you cannot get the old mount out and the new mount in. Otherwise not a difficult job.

I purchased mine from the manufacturer and it was easy to replace. They also suggested running a little antifreeze through it before storage to prevent damage by freezing temps.

No, I can't since I already did the replacement. It was simple, only took me 10 to 15 minutes, with simple tool (no special tool needed). It works great, as good as new.

It will replace the one you have and I saved a lot of money by replacing it myself. The battery was the original and you have to remove it to get to the trackpad so I took that opportunity to replace the battery too. You should look at this procedure on UTube. It's not hard to replace the battery but replacing the trackpad is daunting and I don't think I could handle anything more difficult. You have to remove and replace some tiny screws. I did it but it took good eyes, the right tools, ability to manipulate tiny parts, a lot of patience and numerous attempts. Don't get in over your head.

Yes... but I'd recommend replacing it. The thermal paste is on the stock cooler. It comes in three thick bands with gaps in between them. I'd recommend at least spreading these out to cover the entire CPU before installing. I removed the stock paste completely and went with my own application to ensure even coverage.

I am not sure but I think it should be good so long you have a 2.0 usb port. It is not a very strong kind of cooling pad, so don't expect years of service. I have bought it twice both times they were good for 6 months. They are not very well built but sort of does the job ok. I just bought it because it was the cheapest.

that cooler is not good most sealed coolers dont do a good job and the pump on those corsairs suck and i believe if the tube or pump wears down it cant be replaced you have to buy a new unit and will it fit yes of course

When I replaced mine it was kinda of difficult. There are several screws that have to be removed and then a confession pin that has to be taken out. I reused the pin from the unit it fit tighter when installing the new part and gear. I watched a video on YouTube that made the whole process a lot smoother. Not difficult just time consuming.

The cooler comes with an extra set of clips for a second fan. If you broke a set for any reason contact noctua and try to get replacement clips. Warranty most likely covers them.

Not to difficult to do. I recommend also getting a replacement bezel with the adhesive tape. Took me 15 minutes and good as new.

In most cases a cpu replacement requires (minimally) to release the cooler/socket mount spring and lift the cooler away.With my system the release lever for the CPU socket is blocked by the cooler mount, so I have to remove that as well. This may not always be the case.I would plan on at least as much work to properly replace the cpu as it took to install the cooler initially. You should also clean the fan heatsink and put new cooling paste on the cpu/heatsink.Considering the importance of this procedure and the components involved never be in a hurry! No short cuts!

I removed the cover today on mine to replace the HDD with an SSD and add another mSATA. BE FOREWARNED: To remove the case you have to break a "Warranty Void" sticker. Once inside you will find *nothing* can be upgraded replaced without having to completely disassemble the system; I decided to not attempt it. I've been building/upgrading systems for 20 years and the internal design of this system was complex enough to scare me off. The only thing that appears to accessible is the HDD but I could figure out how it was mounted and wasn;tabout to tinker about and make a $2K paperweight :)

This Cooler Master works off a USB port, if your older cooling pad is usb and your Toshiba won't recognize it then I have a strong feeling that it won't recognize the Cooler Master. Have you run diagnostics on why the usb won't recognize the usb?Check your computer config using admin and see if you get a triangle with a has through it on your usb ports. If you do then you will need to run a trouble shooting on that usb and correct the problem.That's all I can suggest.
