t43 m10 questions and fan disassembly questions

#1 Post by Hans Gruber » Wed Aug 19, 2015 7:01 am

I have a minor problem that is annoying me. On the left side after putting in my M10 it doesn't seal properly. I removed the besel and put in my old besel from my original T43. I may post a picture. When I am typing on it you cannot tell anything is out of place. Does the M10 fit differently than the M24? The heatsink is bolted in and I am at a loss as to why it doesn't fit just right.

The last question. How do you take the fan off the heatsink on either the M24 or M10?

Sorry my answer wont be really helpful, because it is too long since I have fitted an M10 inside a T43.
IIRC I just had to remove and refit a bit of foam from the M10 to fit it properly inside and the bezel latches are a bit tricky on the left side.
But looking at the left side, the top bezel also shows a 1mm gap in the area of the M10. Didn't notice until now.

I have read your previous posts on the T43. I will post a pic of what my T43p looks like. There is a front snap that fits flush but a 1mm-2mm gap over the M10 fan.
